Hi all, Am building an ITX rig for my old man for Flight Simulator and I am working to a strict budget. I've done the best I can with the other components, Ryzen 7 3700X, Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI, 32GB RAM, 750W Corsair modular SFX PSU, 1TB WD M.2 NVMe SSD. In terms of GPU, the budget...

Thanks for the reply. I actually managed to rejig some things and squeezed in a Ryzen 7 3700X under budget so went with that in the end though I have no doubt the i5 would've done a stellar job.

Hi all, I am speccing up a rig for my dad as he wants to get into MSFS2020. We used to fly together a lot in FSX years ago but since I bought my own house he hasn't been able to as I took my rig with me. We have a budget which I'm trying my best to stay under and currently we are looking at a...

Hi all, Did a quick search on this but couldn't find anything relevant. Basically, I have a decent gaming headset with really great sound quality but it means you can hear everything, as a lot of you know. When there is no sound being played through the headset, I can hear a strange...

Thanks for the replies guys. To those that wanted to know, the case is the Overclockers Triumph case. Cheep and cheerful I think - OcUK Triumph Tower The cooler is also cheap, but I just wanted something better than the stock cooler until I overclock in the future, by which point I'll get...

I see what you're saying, unfortunately there's only 1 space for a 120mm fan in the front.

Hi all, Looking for a bit of guidance here on how I can get optimum cooling in my case. I have an Overclockers case with space for the following: - 1x 120mm front fan - 2x 120mm top fans - 1x 120mm rear fan Obviously the front fan is used as an intake and I would guess the rear fan...

Ok guys, I've narrowed my selection down to boards: - Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 - ASRock Z68 Pro 3 Both are incredibly evenly matched in benchmark tests from the research I've done on the internet. The ASRock is aesthetically much better looking than the Gigabyte I think, even though it won't be on...

Both of you suggested the Gigabyte Z77X-D3H, but what sort of benefits will I get in purchasing that over the Z77-D3H? The only difference I can see is an extra PCI-E slot and some eSATA ports, not worth the extra money in my view, even though its only £17. I'm such a cheapo.

I forget this is a retailer as well. Strange to have such competent support in a forum as well as a decent sales service.

Thanks for the responses. I've been giving some thought and I really don't need the i7, as attractive as it may be. In fact, I was thinking maybe I could even get away with using an i3 rather than the 2500K? I know some of you will frown upon that but I'm not a hardcore gamer, in fact I'm not...

Hi all, I'm interested in building a PC soon to upgrade from a Core 2 Duo system. I've narrowed down my selection of CPU's to either the i5 2500K or the i7 2600K (offer your opinions on which I should go for if you like), and I'm fine selecting everything else but just not sure about the...
