  2. look... ive done it 3 times today .. and now its saying this again I would just like to point out that im not a computer wizz kid like the rest of you .. i keep trying to take it all in and learn tho , no hard feelings to anyone ok So if you have a solution to my problem ...and can help i would very much appreciate it thanks
  3. haha yer my spelling is not great i know .. but just because i live in UK .. doesn't mean im full British .. and more to the point whats that got to do with the Topic ?
  4. Its probably already been said a million times ... But nearly every day i see and read good chaps like myself complaining about some Error or problem with windows 10 im getting sick of Microsoft tbh ... and im so fed up keep having to do updates several times over every day also , i do it in the morning and a few hrs later, apparently out of date again, i end up having to do it 4 or 5 times a day its getting ridiculous, i havnt got time for this crap Microsoft Customer service is totally brown Pants !! and now they force me with Edge too .. I dont want bl**dy EDGE !! Its about time another company turned up ( and i dont mean Apple) and kicked Microsoft to the curb ,, I would move to the new company without hesitation
  5. Mean no harm ... its just for giggles So whats with Linus's beard ? ... is he trying to keep " POWER " upgraded to Steve and Jay's beards ? has anyone told Linus .. that it doesn't give him super POWERS, more money, or even disguise him from fans or screaming hot chicks chasing him down the street .. or maybe that is the reason for his facial fuzziness ?... It don't work Dude ! Is Steve from GamersNexus going to keep growing his hair , till he starts tripping over it .. or cause him to start dropping things like Linus (facepalm) or maybe Steve likes to have his own personal space at Rock metal concerts, .. by shaking his fancy locks about, whilst screaming words from Iron maiden. (cool band btw seen them live twice But does Steve realise .. it wont be long before where all have to start calling him " Cousin itt " (from the Adams family.. da da da dum ) and for Jay , the pour guy is going more silver every time i see him on a vid .. but hey don't worry guys... coz I've got it all worked out ... so here's my TwoCents ... Time to get the hair stylist in ... and get Linus beard shaved Give Steve dread locks And dye Jays hair and beard .. ( how about blond ) ? and raise a sh*t load for charity ! I'm sure everyone would love to see that Vid , and add there Two Cents wouldn't you ? or maybe someones got a better silly idea ?
  6. Hey guys Well im in the progress of " learning" and "trying" to find the components i need to be able to build my first pc (well idk about actually building it myself, as its bound to go BANG if i do it, yes im a chicken ! haha , but i know someone who can) im just trying to get all the parts together at mo, to give to him , but I would like to learn .. Ive watched your vids on building , i understand where the parts go ,, but where i get stuck is... wheres all the leads go ? ( u dont seem to explain the connectors or show where they go in detail ) maybe you can do a vid on this please ? and ... once you got the thing built and switch it on .. then what ? ( u dont show what u have to do next , ie bios settings , or other settings you need to do ? or even how to install windows on a brand new drive ... I dont understand any of this yet ... so a vid on this would be cool too please yes ok .. it maybe easy or pointless to u guys but .. ive never done it , and i dont want to be left in the dark anymore .. its scary ! haha Another thing ... not all but a lot of vids are all based on the most expensive components, its like watching top gear where they only talk about the top of the range sports cars that im never going to be able to afford unless i win the lotto or Linus becomes my new best friend .. but then afterwards they say .. " Well if we show you more cheaper cars your get bored of the show " or " its just for entertainment" whats the point of me watching something to expensive that i can only dream and dribble over ? So i would like to see more vids on mid range products , what the average working class joe .. can afford... and what components work best with other components.. Like ie does a pc only work best , if all the parts are from one company ? whats the compatible difference .. between using a MSI motherboard and a Nvidia GPU and G-skill Ram , is there any discrepancies between them ? than using all Asus components say (for example) Obviously i understand not all companies make all the parts needed , and i understand that MSI might make a great motherboard, but a rubbish GPU ( Im not saying that MSI do or dont ) Asus brought all this Rog Strix out ( yes i watched your vid , build a pc all out of all Asus Rog Strix very nice too ) but its way over my price budget , yes i understand that theres some out there that can afford it ... but cant u do a more mid range builds too , and explain what components work best with other components on a cheaper build also please ? As much as i wish i was rich .. unfortunately im not . and i also think , where all about to get a huge shock on how much the new RTX 3000 series GPU are going to be too .. Im currently waiting .. to find out if im going to be able to afford one or not, before i make my final mind up on what im going to build. and whats going to be the better Mid range boards to run it ? Ive spent hours, weeks and months reading and watching vids , not just from you , on whats parts are best to buy and what works best together that i can afford and my honest end conclusion .. Im still going round in circles.. so some more vids on this would be helpful for a noob too please Like the vids what u done so far, and the humour Linus / guys brings to them too Thanks SI UK (across the pond ) ( special mention to Boggy77 one of your forum members, like me .. for his advice on trying to help me with my quest .. thanks ) And if you guys have got any advice for me too, please get in touch , it a be much appreciated
  7. Hi Boggy Im still watching the Alienware 34 Inch Curved Gaming Monitor - AW3418DW its coming down in price today i found it for £717 But now i see there advertising another one called Alienware 34 Inch Curved Gaming Monitor - AW3420DW but this one is £1000 Ive looked up each spec , and i cant see any difference ? So whats the catch ? is there any difference between them ? or why is the 20DW more expensive ?
  8. also check this out ... this is funny ... but seriously not really So I went to my local pcworld today , hopping to have a look at my hopefully new Alienware AW3418DW ( because PC world " Was" currently selling it for the cheapest price at £799 when i got there i was then told by a young staff member " that they do not stock anything over 32" but the first funny thing was I'm surrounded by loads of over 32" crazy 50 + size tv's !! being funny , i just smiled at him and pointed to all the huge tvs , bright red he then corrected himself and said " oh oh oh i mean in monitors" i couldn't help but laugh. Then another guy (only a little bit older) stepped in, who had been standing next to the first guy the whole time ... and then asked what i was looking for ? haha ( he had been standing right next to us the whole time , so i know he heard me the first time) I'm thinking god why is this new idiot asking me again ? haha I tell the 2nd guy again , and he goes and looks it up on a pc , and say yes we dont stock this in any of are stores because its specialised and not a normal seller , fair enough i said , but i was hopping to see it before i brought it , i also wanted to see it with a film playing on it too... so is there any chance u can get one here , so i can see it he said " No ! ... not unless you pay for it first , ( I'm thinking what ? ... I said " i wanted to see it before i buy it ok i said so if i pay for it , you will get it to this store then ur set it up so i can come back, and see it run , and see a film run on it too , but if i dont like it, your give me my full money back yes ? He said No ! ... ( What T F ? haha , ) He said where not allowed to get it out of the box , in case it gets damaged , But then he said .. what u can do is buy it take it home unbox it , use it for 28 days , and then if u dont like it bring it back and where give u full refund Hang on i said ... " so your telling me its safer if i put it in a back of my van , drive it home unbox it , and use it for 28 days ,and then rebox it , put it back in my van and bring it back if need be is safer than .. it not travelling anywhere , and setup by pcworlds (so called) pc experts ... right ? I said you must have some in depth knowledge of computers to do this job yes ? the first guy then spoke up and said , " I only work here 2 days a week " haha (You can then see the 2nd guy giving the first guy the evil eye to try and get him to shut up ) haha The 2nd guy then just says , its company policy , I said " ok so what u mean is .. Pcworld are forcing the " Safe" responsibility on my head , so in the hope that something happens to the monitor , so they dont have the responsibility of either giving back money or having to send it back ? They both went quite... At that point i was going to just going to walk out of the door , but there was one more question i want to ask first .. So i been price watching this monitor , and a few others for a while now Earlier that day , before i went to pcworld .. i found this ... https://pcpartpicker.com/product/c9qbt6/dell-aw3418dw-341-3440x1440-120hz-monitor-aw3418dw (Via Pc Parts Picker Amazon uk are now selling it for £699 ) Currently Pcworld states , if you can find any product within the uk or uk website , they will match it So i showed the 2nd guy the advert , and proved to him that Amazon uk was selling it for that £699 price He said if you buy it today right now where match it ( its a bl**dy shame coz i wont have 699 until next week ) , ( Ill just have to keep hopping it a be the same price or cheaper next week too) but anyway ... also on Pcworlds website , it also says £150 cash back .. look .. https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/pc-monitors/pc-monitors/alienware-aw3418dw-quad-hd-35-curved-led-gaming-monitor-black-10190551-pdt.html so i said to the 2nd guy .. So your site is now showing this monitor with the cash back .. he said yes so i said if i was to buy this monitor right now, you will charge me 699 , then in 14 days i can then also claim another £150 also ( now making the monitor only £549 ) He replied with we dont do the cash backs you will have to get that back from Dell , but in theory yes , but then he says , whilst looking at the cash back small print Dell quote at bottom of pcworld web page / under " offers and deals " that £150 is only given from products when you spend £999 or more I said well do i get the cash back or not , he said im not sure your have to contact dell So when i got home i rang dell , and cut a long story short.. Dell tell me that the monitor was originally 999 , but now its dropped to 799 it is no longer valid i told dell about Pcworlds website that its still on there , they told me that's wrong and Pcworld should not be still stating it so i now gather Dell will be talking to pcworld about this But i thought if there showing that as a price and offer , then they have to give u that price or offer by law the only bad side to this is Dell do actually say 999 or more in small print , so i spose my good luck of saving myself £250 on a awesome monitor just run out it was wealth the cheeky try tho haha As for pcworld staff .. geees there so dim , i dont think any of them have any experience or in depth knowledge of what there selling or any customer manners whats so ever most of the time they was both calling me "mate" lol instead of Sir , and even tho i told them my name , ( coz i dont really like Sir either ) not one of them ever used it The other thing to take note on about pcworld is they state that its " free delivery " but what they dont tell you via there website is that its only free delivery to the store, then you have to collect it from that store if you want them to deliver your product to your house then they will charge you extra for this service I think ill be just keeping an eye on my monitor on Amazon and getting it straight from them and praying that it turns up in one piece and undamaged
  9. Ive got to wait 2 month before i will have the funds anyway ... So I dont mind waiting a few more months , if Im going to get a better machine for my money ? but will i get a better machine for my money ? ( i will have approx £1500 for the pc itself )
  10. " as intel is releasing a new cpu series this year on a different motherboard than current gen cpus." would it be wealth me waiting ?
  11. ok mate thank you for your input and time
  12. ii think ive decided what monitor im going to get im going to blow 2k pounds on the pc and save up more till i can afford this ... Alienware AW3418DW its gsync it currently stands at £799 , and looks and seems a far better monitor than the predator from the research ive done all tho the predator is now a bit cheaper https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/pc-monitors/pc-monitors/alienware-aw3418dw-quad-hd-35-curved-led-gaming-monitor-black-10190551-pdt.html
  13. Hi boggy thanks for this link Thinking of now blowing the 2k on the pc itself and save some more for monitor and get it at a later date so iim very interested to see what games pc you would build if u had 2k pounds please on my last post , i added a few more things like usb socket needs and what i plan to use them for Thanks mate
