I recently ordered a high-end PC from PC Specialist, and overall, the process was impressive. Their website was excellent—user-friendly, informative, and made it easy to customize my perfect workstation. Once I placed the order, they kept me updated at every stage of the build, even providing a 3D image of the system before dispatch. The workstation was delivered faster than their quoted timeframe of five working days, which was a pleasant surprise.
However, I did not purchase the GPU from them as I already owned two A5000 GPUs, and this is where the issues began. The workstation has had persistent problems with GPU installation. Despite multiple attempts at installing and removing GPU drivers, the system fails to recognize the A5000 GPUs. I eventually had to install a GTX 1660 Super just to get the workstation to boot.
I reached out to their support team for assistance, but their response was disappointing. They directed me to download a third-party tool, DDU, but the link they provided didn’t work. As someone who isn’t an expert in system setup—one of the reasons I opted for a pre-built workstation—I found this lack of guidance frustrating. Installing a GPU should be a straightforward process, yet it has turned into a nightmare. Currently, I’m forced to run the workstation using the GTX 1660 Super, as it’s the only way to keep the system operational.
I truly wanted to give PC Specialist a 5-star review because their website and approach are excellent, and I understand that occasional issues can arise when setting up a complex machine. However, after spending over £1,700 on the workstation, I expected better after-sales support. A more hands-on and effective resolution would have been appreciated to ensure the system functions as intended.
