PCSpecialist Predator X99 System review

Wolfenstein: The New Order is played from a first-person perspective and its levels are navigated on-foot. Players control Blazkowicz as he attempts to halt the Nazi operation and recover justice in the world. The story is arranged in chapters, which players complete in order to progress through the story.

We max every single graphics setting and select a 4k resolution (3,840×2,160). We average frame rates from several very intensive sections of the environment to give a worst case scenario.

A demanding engine at these settings but the system holds frame rates in the playable sector at all times.

    not sure on value for money but labour costing nearly 425 pounds seems excessive

    You will always be able to home build a system for less than a company will sell you one pre-assembled as they are in it to run a business rather than a charity. You also forgot to add in the cost of the OS and thermal compound which brings the current price up to £1951.77
    (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/r9ZwCJ) which is only £226 different from the latest price on the PCSpecialist website of £2178.

    I previously bought a laptop from PC Specialist and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again as their service we exemplary. When you consider the price includes with three years warranty, assembly, OS and driver installation and then the system is thoroughly tested before dispatch the £226 difference seems quite reasonable to me.

  3. agreed you can buy them cheaper as parts but labour and parts for that much is excessive

    cant buy expensive pc rig. 🙁
    wishing i can buy one

  5. Just finished a new X99 build. System consisted of:

    Motherboard:Asus X99-Deluxe motherboard
    CPU:. Intel i7-5820K,
    Memory: 32 GB CORSAIR Vengeance LPX Black (CMK32GX4M4A2800C16)
    CPU Cooler: Corsair H110i water cooler
    Boot Drive: ADATA M.2 512 GB SSD
    Storage: WD Black SATA III 3TB
    Powersupply: Hitec 850W
    Case: Corsair Obsidian 550D
    Optical drive: LG BH16NS40
    OS: Windows 8.1 PRO 64
    Total cost in Switzerland about CHF 2250 (GBP 1440)

    This system really screams !!! Using the ASUS AI Overclocking utility, maximum overclock achieved was
    4.7 GHZ with all cores synched (BCLK=100 x 47 multiplier), memory settings set
    to XMP, core CPU voltage @1.3V, input [email protected]. Temperatures stayed below
    60 degrees Celsius, running Prime 95 for 6 hours. I was lucky and I hope you guys can get as good an overclock capable cpu/mobo combination.
