Tsia Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 What're you planning on doing with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 its just a business PC for one of the staff, office stuff really, large media files, not gaming, nothing special F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binfieldx Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 £909 seems a bit steep for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The only gripe I have with that spec is that there is no SSD. Also that graphics card is a tad overkill for general office work, unless you do a lot of image rendering/editing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 For a business PC that's well over specd, that graphics card is for fairly heavy rendering. I would get one cheaper with an SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

far Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 oh it connects three monitors and we do work with some fairly large PDFs and print media - - - Updated - - - found it cheaper here: https://www.ballicom.co.uk/vfy-w5500w77aggb-fujitsu-celsius-w550.p1186103.html?ref=PLA&gclid=CjwKEAjwlfO3BRDR4Pj_u-iO2U0SJAD88y1SxtdYSawcKc2HEapmEuojgwif2lleTNpNxr2dNx8U7xoCr5rw_wcB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 PDFs wouldn't even wake that graphics card up. As everyone else has said, cheaper pc with an SSD would be a safer bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 SSD is a must as its the bottle kneck in performance Maybe get the 1TB as extra storage. Hope your doing backups too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Standard Skylake dual core pentium @ 3.3GHz, with a Gigabyte b150 Board would suffice, 8 ddr3l and a 120 Kingston ssd. That would power two screens. Check connectivity of the monitors. Cost less than £350. If you were nearer I'd build it for you and install. It's what I do.

far Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 will that run two large 34in screens? - if you have a business doing this please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 will that run two large 34in screens? - if you have a business doing this please let me know. Screen size doesnt matter, its the res that counts, you could have 60" screens if they are they still 1080p then its no different to running a 24". What are the res of your 34" screens? Fuji are great business machines, I always recommend them but that does look a little over spec for the requirements you listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 cheers Wez, its two of these dude: http://www.ebuyer.com/715903-lg-34uc97c-34-curved-ultrawide-ips-monitor-34uc97c-b?gclid=CjwKEAjwuPi3BRClk8TyyMLloxgSJAAC0Xsj_nSJdO3H0RloA745f5Z2AtTJxz6o2HAQH0Olbk3UlhoCoJzw_wcB#fo_c=951&fo_k=97834020f4b388adea7c455e32273932&fo_s=gplauk?mkwid=s_dc&pcrid=51508043699&pkw=&pmt= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are an odd resolution as they sit between HD and 4K being 21:9 aspect ratio, pretty much any modern graphics adapter can drive a couple of 4K screens for normal desktop use it shouldnt be too much of struggle to find something in a lower price bracket, if the machine can drive two 4K you will be fine.

far Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 cheers dude, wheres the best place nowadays to spec up desktops? our outsourced IT support got us quotes which were crazy high and pointless by the looks of it F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I still use EBuyer, Scan and OverClockers for most bits, not used Dabs in a long time. There is also Misco but not had any dealings with them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Don't forget amazon, normally their prices are as competitive as the ones mentioned above and if you have amazon prime, next day free delivery. I've used overclockers for years, but been cheating on them with amazon as prices can be lower when postage is factored in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 What Wez said, Scan, they can spec and ready build for you. Gfx for example https://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-gainward-gtx-950-pcie-30-%28x16%29-6610mhz-gddr5-gpu-1026mhz-boost-1190mhz-cores-768-dp-12-hdmi-20-d is more than adequate to power your monitors, just check connectivity........ says in the spec of each gfx card what monitor connections it can handle. For the prices you were origiannly going to pay you could buy a third complete set of parts to hot swap if needed and still have change. Parts don't tend to go wrong as much as they used too as long as you buy the better brands like Gigabyte boards etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Looking in the manual those monitors support thunder bolt pass through, as long as your chosen GFX supports it and has sufficient grunt and memory you can connect both monitors to the PC with a single cable, you then connect one monitor to the other using thunder bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
