Or tell him to grow up commenting their own foolish opinions on a current age demographic within a discount alert website.

I was building this specification in a system for someone a few weeks ago and I was unable to buy the parts individually so ordered this instead. When it arrived it had a corsair vs550 PSU inside rather than the 450W as advertised which was a bonus. The hard drive was a Toshiba rather than the advertised seagate but I've not got any issues with that. For anyone who is wondering the GTX1060 is the Zotac mini version. I'd recommend this system and the seller, hot deal! :sunglasses:

Easily enough for this system. Can't remember the last time I used a psu over 500w for a build

450w PSU?????

450w is fine for a single GPU build...long as it's a decent psu

8gb ram at this price, plus an extra £60 for Windows.

My 13 year old son is driving me crazy asking for a gaming pc. He's just wanting to play bits of games and record for youtube, chat to his friends. He has a laptop a few years old and it can't be powerful enough as it's lagging when he's playing games/recording. Can anyone recommend anything please? A few of his mates have had them built by people their parents know but I don't know anyone :-(

depends what your budget is?

haritori to dawniecarl

PC Specialist is a good start for desktop builds.. But you will be paying a bit more than building it yourself.

My advice, find out exactly from your son, what he wants to play on it, write down the game names, ask what his friends are playing.. work out what your budget is but bear in mind you won't get change from £400-£500 for a budget build with Keyboard, Mouse & Monitor (speakers? headset?), and then start an ASK thread with all the info.

Check out r/buildapc on reddit. Have a look through other builds, check out their guides and you will make your son very happy.

Yo you really don't need much for a 13yr old who wants to do PC gaming. Consider a cheap gaming laptop, and Alienware alpha( wait for when they have a build on) or a ready made second hand PC, look for something like a gtx 660/ 750/750ti which will be plenty, can be picked up with the rest of the build for like 200

1060 6gb 4k VR ready, yea ok

eddie151 to BIGUSHEADUS

28 Aug 16 #21

It is according to nvidea. The 970 was the lower limit for VR. The 1060 6gb matches that easily.

The price seems within a couple of pounds of building it yourself, so as long as the warranty is more than a single year, I would probably recommend this to a friend, rather than having a friend have me build it for them. Otherwise, if it was for myself, at least, if the warranty is only a one year RTB, I would want the full retail box warranty (typically longer than a year) on the individual components. Heat added.

Nope, same thing just a smaller cooler than some of the other models. It's not a GPU that runs hot though so it'll be fine.

Can anybody recommend me a decent PC for music workstation purposes?
I don't need a dedicated GPU just really good CPU and lots of RAM.
It seems most PC related posts here are either "gaming" PC's or mid-low range office PC's... And when I look for PC's with a high end i7 they are overpriced or bundled with a GPU I don't need.
Thanks.

is this newer i5 likely to be faster than my aging i7 860?

dt_matthews to L11

28 Aug 16 1 #20

Yes: i5 6400 benchmark vs your i7 860

(of course certain scenarios may not be so clear cut but thats a baseline benchmark.
uses significantly less power too if thats something that interests you.

Or better still tell him to focus his energies on a more worthwhile task like learning another language or how to code rather then aspiring to be just yet another moronic teenage internet celebrity.

Yes, there is a caveat for accessibility users - I'm not sure what percentage of the country that would genuinely apply to, I'm thinking a very very small number.

Looking at a gaming PC with dual GTX 1080 SLI and i7. CCL have some for £2100 with 3 years on site. Equivalent Alienware around £2700 and DIY £2,500. Tempted by the CCL deal. Not up to date on PCs but I want to be able to game on 4K at 60Hz. Would this cut the mustard?

ScaryStalketDude to ronaldmacdonald

29 Aug 16 #40

the one you are looking at with 1080 would be great for years. this one posted will do 4k for current games. you might have to tone the settings down when some more power hungry games come out. but for now it is more than enough

I'm not talking about the free upgrade. you can still download windows ten for nothing and use it with no product key. they do not lock it anymore like previous version. you just can t change the background on it through the settings

people benefit from having a little fun. if you want to oppress children then I think you're going to have a very hard time making many friends. A gaming pc has been proven to improve social and cognitive skills. Obviously there would be a point of abuse that would be then detrimental, but then I'd rather that than ruin a childhood and potential make then struggle socially in life when a they have done is learn a language that no one wants to speak to them in.
