    Requirements for running up to 30 Virtual Machines.

    Hi folks. I've been doing as much research as possible but not getting anywhere fast really so wondered if anyone here could help. I am building a pc which needs to be capable of running up to 30 Virtual Machines. From what I've been reading you can run up to 4 machines per core and each one...

    2 m.2 drives but one already has Windows installed.

    Thanks mate. If it was yourself would you set it up with the clean drive and fresh install of windows then add the other one and wipe it or just crack on as you said? Thanks again.

    2 m.2 drives but one already has Windows installed.

    Hello. I'm building a new PC and still have my M.2 drive from my old one. Will I run into any problems adding this one and the new one into my motherboard when I first turn it on. I wasn't able to wipe the m.2 before taking it out of my old build. It still has Windows 10 installed, will this...

    Should I get a better CPU?

    I built my first PC for myself earlier this year after buying my son a pre built for Christmas. Loved every minute of it and ever since I've been desperate to build another one but a lot cheaper than my personal one cost (literally spend hours putting pcs together on PC Partpicker to the point...

    Monitor switching off.

    Hi all, so I built my first PC and although it took longer than I was expecting it to it's all been working great. The issue I have though is I'm running dual 27" monitors and everything can be running smoothly then all of a sudden they just go black and say no signal found. The only way I can...

    Building my first PC for around £1200

    Still haven't puled the trigger on buying anything yet. Mainly because I've been indecisive on a GPU but I'm definitely going with the 5700XT. Watched far too many reviews and I'm going for the one below as it's on a discount and the reviews are great. Also because I now want to do a mini itx...

    Building my first PC for around £1200

    I'll look at at what you've mentioned in regards t the Ram and PSU. The AIO and case is more for aesthetic reasons and the headset I'm not really accnting for in my budget. I've wanted those for a long time and can get them for £229. The fan on the AIO can replace one of the front fans that's...

    Building my first PC for around £1200

    Thanks for the help so far. Right so I've changed things up a bit and this is my basket now and I'm pretty set on these bits. I can get a couple of the bits cheaper elsewhere though. Only thing that's left is I cannot decide on a graphics card and it's realy starting to drain me now, there's...

    Building my first PC for around £1200

    Fortnite is literally the only game I have time to play. I'm not going 1440p just want as many FPS as possible on 1080p 144hz so maybe you're right. When I first started looking I was going to go with the 1660ti and the 3600x with 16gb ram. I don't need to do editing either. Workwise it's mainly...

    Building my first PC for around £1200

    Thank you mate. I was going to go with the B450 Carbon originally as it has the built in WiFi. I'd seen someone say the 570 was a better board so figured it would save an upgrade for a while but if its unneeded then I'll stick with the B450. Any coolers that come to mind?

    Building my first PC for around £1200

    Hi there, thanks to all that helped with my previous post to do with my sons PC. I ended up buying him a pre built which in fairness he loves. My work laptop needs replacing and since I myself am now addicted for Fortnite (for my sins) I've decided to build my own gaming PC. Kill 2 birds with 1...

    First ever build with my 11 year old son

    Thanks mate. Installing Windows has been a concern of mine but there's plenty of How to's out there isn't there?

    First ever build with my 11 year old son

    I will probably struggle this time of year to build it before Christmas and I'd also hate to make a mistake with my first build being his main present. But if I can rally get so much more for my money then I will do it.

    First ever build with my 11 year old son

    I was going to increase the RAM to 16GB if advised.

    First ever build with my 11 year old son

    Yes mate. Here it is. Unless Overclockers have a pre built you think would be a better option and thank you System: Intel Core i5-9400F Processor (6 Cores, 2.90GHz Base, 4.10GHz Turbo, 9MB Cache) | H310 Chipset Motherboard | 8GB 2400MHz DDR4 RAM | 240GB SATA-III SSD | 1TB 7200RPM SATA-III HDD...

    First ever build with my 11 year old son

    Thanks mate. Does that sound like a reasonable price for what I'm after then. My brain is literally fried. Ha!

    First ever build with my 11 year old son

    Fortunately the money situation is going to be okay. I am now swaying more towards the idea of a pre built though for his first PC. Reason being he can get straight into it on Christmas day. I had purchased one earlier on an amazing deal for an i-5, GTX 1660ti but they have since cancelled the...

    First ever build with my 11 year old son

    Thanks mate. Gonna see how this little hiccup works out. Rubbish time of year for unexpected outlays but it is what it is. Hopefully I can get it sorted and order the bits listed above. Monitor wise would it be worth going with a 144hz one with that set up or will it not get me close to...
