Morning all, I haven't been a PC gamer in easily 15 years and to be honest with you after being an amid console player for all that time I do miss it.
I was just wondering what the best spec PC I could get for around £1500/£1600.
I do play some FPS shooters and MMO/MMORPG.
Not a lover of AMD has had a lot of issues with it in the past.
Would ideally like 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD

A wee bit over budget, but a cracking build]

solid build. Can drop in another NVME/SSD later on when more dosh arrives
finite rover
To save a few pennies, could drop the speed of the ssd. Not very noticable and could be worth it. Could also get away with a 13600k with that gpu.
Could be a small bottleneck. So if you can stretch your budget, the 13700kf would be better

You can change it to a 360mm if you want, not needed, but nice.
ornate vigil
yeah sorry im not a lover of AMD unfortunately im just debating on which one is better to be fair
sorry to be a pain, gaming computers have evolved so much since i last had one
ornate vigil
is there much difference between the on you put in Mudkip and the one that i found?

yeah? its cheaper as well to be fair whys that the case then? i appreciate all the help

Looks like it's cheaper cos different components
the one with the 4060ti has a 360mm AIO and also a better CPU
The 4070 one is better overall imo
ornate vigil
is it worth getting a wireless card as well?

The one with the 4070 has Wifi built in to the mobo so that's good to go

guessing that one is the same spec just different motherboard?
valid vessel
Yeah get the wifi one so you dont have to worry about wifi dongles / cards
ornate vigil
perfect and just to make sure it comes with 2 fans yeah?
ornate vigil
jeez fairplay
ornate vigil
i only asked as it only says 2 fans w/case
valid vessel
Yeah it can be confusing aha
ornate vigil
is it worth paying the extra £67 for 14th gen i5?
worn mantle
No
Personally I don't think so.
BUT some people just might see a point in it, you can search online the difference,
ornate vigil
okay i'll have a quick look, appreciate all the help

Power cable is included, yeah.
All the stuff is in there to turn on the computer
You may need a DP/HDMI cable and obviously a monitor

No worries

any recommendations on delivery just incase with couriers damaging anything?

All insured so don't worry 🙂

Finally been paid and going to do the buy now pat later option 12 month. If I'm right in saying I can just pay off how ever much I want every month?
prisma pike
I'm not too sure on the finance side of it all, You can check the agreement when you get the forms and see what the situation is
Some may want you to pay a fixed amount per month to fully utilise the agreement, or some let you pay however much you want per month (aslong as its above the minimum)
ornate vigil
okay thank you
prisma pike
No worries, If I'm not mistakened, with buy now pay later, if you don't pay it all off in the 12 months, the interest is deferred to the beginning of the agreement, so just make sure it's fully paid within the 12
ornate vigil
yeah thats what i was looking at and was wondering if i could just pay off bit off every month like
prisma pike
I have something similar with a store card, and by jesus you don't want that term to end and then get a massive amount slapped on for interest
ornate vigil
Yeah that's what I don't want to happen like, like I know I'll pay it off within the 12months but was wondering whether I could pay like £200 one month and then £300 another you know
prisma pike
I always forget, I don't think buy now pay later ones actually have like a minimum payment each month until after the 12 months, in which case, you can pay as much as you want to it each month, and if it's completely paid before the end of the 12 months, no interest
ornate vigil
Happy days

Okay so my pc arrived today which is great news and looks incredible but there's a bag with some components in along with a box also but can't seem to find any power cable
Scrap that I've found the power cable but what all the other wires in the bags etc?

Yeah I had 2 antennas which I haven't put in but it has connected to the WiFi

Put the antennas on without them you'll get very slow speeds
At the back of your PC you should have something that looks like this
the antennas just hand screw on easily

Why thank you

I will go wired eventually but wireless will do me for the time being

I've used wireless for my whole life ngl 💀

my wifi speeds are good anyway

If your monitor has a display port then do DP-DP cable

Is there a huge difference between them then?
DP is better performance and can run higher refresh rates on it too

Evening all, only a quick one I've noticed my CPU is now running around the 2300rpm mark.
Does that sound normal at all or? It runs that even when doing nothing on it
ornate vigil
It's all okay is it and the pump won't blow or anything?
worn mantle
The pump is designed to run at 100% all the time
If it doesn't, it is more likely to fail. (Might be wrong, some pumps are controlled via icue, Lconnect etc)
ornate vigil
Ah right okay so the noise I can hear then is most likely the pump?
It only gets louder when loading a game up
worn mantle
It only gets louder when loading a game up
That's the fan
A pump sounds alot different
Like a grinding noise not sure how to describe it
worn mantle
You can use the bios
The fans you are probably hearing is the Lancool 216 front fans
They get quite loud
ornate vigil
Yeah it probably is them
ornate vigil
Yeah true it might be because I've got my pc on the floor under my desk if I was to move it on to the desk could potentially be quieter?

:tada: Congrats @ornate vigil, you levelled up to 4! :tada:
ornate vigil
Is it not recommended to adjust the fans?
worn mantle
Is it not recommended to adjust the fans?
Nono, you are free to adjust them
I was saying when you do adjust them the fans are still doing really good
I have them silent, same case
ornate vigil
It would probably hinder the performance of it all though? I do want them just that tad bit quieter
worn mantle
Not at all
ornate vigil
I'll have to have a look tomorrow, do you have any recommended settings for them? With it being a gaming PC didn't know if there would be recommended settings
worn mantle
Tbh, not really. Just tune them to something reasonable
ornate vigil
Okay no worries I'll see what I can do tonight then, bet to access it through the bios then and not their programme?

Jeez put it all on default and it went crazy
ornate vigil
Yeah both on PWM now

CPU1 can be DC

Would you do it on CPU1 or System
worn mantle
System is the fans you are wanting
ornate vigil
Okay with me putting CPU on DC what does that do then?
ornate vigil
That's the cpu1

I appreciate the help
Keep tuning the fans till they sound good enough for ya
ornate vigil
Got that for system 4
worn mantle
Is it quiet to you?
ornate vigil
Seems quieter
worn mantle
Quiet enough?
ornate vigil
Yeah
worn mantle
Great, that should be ok then
ornate vigil
Can still hear it but not as loud have to see what it sounds like when playing a game
Me doing that now won't do anything to the PC will it
I've just lowered thr 3 and kept the top one as it is

Looks good

I'm just worried it'll do anything like
