I'm getting quite frustrated here in UK with Black Friday offers. I was waiting for a deal on a gaming PC that featured min Ryzen 5 3600 + RTX2060 Super or RTX2070. But availability is low on this combo and deals don't look significantly tempting. (Scan were offering a similar rig last month at...

Always a treat

You win!

;) You may have watched too many, but this is one of those everyone should have seen in their life.

Okay. let's try this . . .

The name on the ID is a giveaway, I think. The Net?

Hi rakhigupta. Go to File > Page Setup and you should see margin settings in there.

Thanks again for the useful info Zoid. Yes, we're holding out to see what develops throughout November.

Like Boon72 says, budget is key. From your spec it looks like you're in somewhere around the minimum £1k mark. I'm no expert, but the advice I've been given is to look at PC Specialist, Cyberpower PC, Scan, Overclockers UK, Dino PC, CCL and Novatech (if you're UK based?), and look what gets...

Glad this thread was of use to you misslyndsay. I've found the experts on this forum to be an excellent source of info so far. I'll update this thread with how we get on when it comes to buying. (Need to get over the first step of selling son's laptop, first).

Thanks again Oussebon and Inspireless Llama. Really appreciate your patience and the extremely useful guidance. My key conclusions for the time being are: for CPU, then, will look to trust recommended/reputable integrator and consider the R5 3600 as minimum benchamrk. we will make a RAM...
