    New PC £3500 i7+4080 vs 7900X3D+7900XTX

    I did get that thank you. I would like the 4090 as this is my first big PC build and hate to compromise, especially with my great screen. But I was trying to be sensible with the 4080, but then thought the Ryzen works well with the 7900XTX so worth a thought?

    New PC £3500 i7+4080 vs 7900X3D+7900XTX

    Excellent info thank you all. Case swap for a 4090, very interesting thought! Tetras, thanks for the good ideas in yours, I like the twin M2s. And the free Last of Us, as just watched the series.

    New PC £3500 i7+4080 vs 7900X3D+7900XTX

    Great Tamzzy. Do you think a Ryzen 9 is a better choice than an i7 13700K?

    New PC £3500 i7+4080 vs 7900X3D+7900XTX

    Hi, I am going to build a new PC for general use and photo/video work. I do want to play some modern games at 4k and am lucky enough to have a Samsung 4k 165Hz monitor. Should I go Intel i7+ 4080 or AMD 7900X3D+7900XTX? Budget up to £3500 but less is good. 850-1000watt psu and 2TB gen 4 M2...

    BMW and M Power Owners

    The M340i touring G21 is a tremendous car. It is often said about the 3 series touring, that it is all the car you need! the M340i takes it to another level. Decent noise and excellent performance with lots of space and toys. We have a M340i touring and a 128ti (and an M140i!!! we like BMWs!)...

    Best soundtrack ever! I bought a TVR Griffith once. All the salesman did was start it in the showroom and I said I would buy it!!!! Easy sale.

    A friendly reminder to all of us who work on cars at home

    I bought a brilliant simple black rubber chock in the USA and use it every time I swap my alloys around. Simple and effective.

    Such a classic shape. Looking forward to a video on your channel Gibbo.

    Show Us Your Motors!

    And of course many buyers (not on here!) have no clue and don't care what wheels are driven. They like the look or price or brand maybe? I went with BMW because I like the brand and have a good relatinoship with the dealer. When they released the 128ti it ticked all the boxes for us. The M135i...

    Evo magazine compares the 128ti with the new Golf GTi Clubsport and rates it more highly. The 128ti is definitely fun to drive and does what we wanted perfectly so we are happy. The styling is not for everyone (you can delete the red bits for free when you order) but we like it as it is a bit...

    Finally got my wife a new car. Seems a lot of fun to drive and very well equipped. I feel quite deflated posting it after the Lambos and RB though!!!

    Show Us Your Motors!

    I am looking for a 991 GT3 for the future. As most tend to be low mileage and looked after I am hoping engine issues will be minimal? I am looking forward to seeing the 992 GT3 today as the full reveal is later (16th Feb 21). The 992 is supposed to be very good on UK roads especially with its...

    Waterproofing garden office felt roof

    2 years seems very quick to fail. Unless it was punctured somehow. Could it have been condensation dripping?

    Skoda kamiq

    The Kamiq and the Seat Arona are the smaller ones and have had updates recently I think. The Karoq hasn't been done yet I think, but the equivalent Seat Ateca has just been updated. Some good finance deals on the Ateca at the moment I think also.

    JLR vehicle subscription

    So far I have never paid anything extra as I look after my cars. PCP gives you the option to buy. As I look after them i have bought them at the end before and as Fox says I can get a better car than I could have afforded otherwise. PCH can be good though, but PCP works best for me,

    JLR vehicle subscription

    And PCP costs vary a great deal on deposit. I normally pay little or no deposit which puts the monthly figure up but suits how I work.

    Car stolen overnight.

    It is incredible how sophisticated they have become. The old quote 'what man can make, man can break'. Despite how the manufacturers try they always seem one step ahead. Physical security (Disklok?) and garaging seem to be be a way to slow them but then they just break in and steal the keys...
