Thanks a ton @Gibbo Got a 3050@240 for my ITX HTPC build :-)

In the current market though with a used 5500XT selling for upwards of £270 and a 1650 Super selling for the same and both used for ages, this is great value at £179. I know its not what we want but at this price in the current market for a new card with warranty, its a good price. Although very...

I recently got a 27" QHD display and was worried that 1080p would looks really bad. But when i got it and tested at 1080p on the QHD monitor and on my 1080p monitor both looked quite the same, maybe the 1080p monitor looked a tad sharper but honestly looked quite close. The QHD when playing in...

Design as in designing models, drawing diagrams etc or where you can use a digital pen.

There are loads of videos on youtube from techdeals and other guys which shows that real world difference is hardly worth spending for a nvme. If you get the MX500 during sales, you can get one for about £55. I would go for that over an Nvme. If you can see the difference between them then you...

Thank you. Didnt know that. Will keep it in mind

Does the GTX1060 have 6gb VRAM? If so, it will be a better buy than the 1650 without doubt.

Ryzen would only be marginally slower if et all. Just get one which is cheaper. Both are equally great.

If there is no manufacturer warranty that is a huge risk. Not enough discounts for 3 months warranty

I have done the starup option thing but sometimes it applies the overclocks sometimes it doesnt and i manually tick the profile and apply.

I doubt there will be great deals as all the sales this year had hardly any discounts on the 1660. May be Christmas will bring in some exciting deals RX580 is quite a good card as well. If you can increase your budget by say £20, you could get it.

Thats just marketing. Real world performance is pretty much the same except in scenarios where you are doing 4k video editing with huge files. 99% of use, you wont notice the difference.

Wouldnt recommend investing in Intel atm. If possible to sell existing parts definitely go for the Ryzen with 3200MHz RAM and you will be all set for future upgrades. Usually at 1080p, if you want smoother frame rates, CPU should be good for that. The higher the resolution the more dependence...

You will bottleneck with that CPU when you pair it with £300 cards. Even if you dont bottleneck you will have microstutters in game. If budget is a constraint and you want to go ahead with a GPU upgrade, a Vega 56 would be nice as a minimum or a 2060. Both will be decent upgrades. Anything more...

I think you can keep the ssd, the case, gpu and the psu but as you would have to move to a new platform recommend selling it all and getting a new pc altogether. Ideally something on the Ryzen 3700 platform. May be worth checking if what you use for video editing uses CUDA.

I hope its a good brand. Non reputable psus can cause instability issues during load.

I would reccommend the new Phanteks P400 case with mesh front. That is going to be awesome and looks great. PSU a good 600W should be sufficient unless you decide to go the AMD route as they are a little more power hungry. CL16 is a must for the RAM as others have already said. Default...

You can get the Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Kit 3200MHz as it overclocks quite well. Not as good as E-die but very good for B-die. A new Phanteks case has been released with a mesh front. That will obviously be quite good and costs £65. If you need RGB, its £85.

This issue seems to be sorted with the latest patch. No more waiting forever.

I think licenses are tied to microsoft accounts and usually allow for one major hardware change. If you have already changed motherboard one on the same account, then you will need to phone them up and get it sorted. When i changed mine to ryzen from intel, i had to phone them up as i had...
