PCSpecialist Zircon Master R Prebuilt Review (7900X/6800 XT)

Closing Thoughts

The list of components used by PCSpecialist in the Zircon Master R works well together and deliver stomping performance both for gamers and also for content creators.

Having said that, it is clear this PC is more of an all-rounder than a system devoted either to gaming or to content creation. If you are a pure gamer you would probably cut the CPU back to a Ryzen 7 and spend more money on a stronger graphics card which might be a Radeon RX 6950 XT. Failing that you might wait a month or two for a Radeon RX 7900 XTX or RTX 4070 Ti.

On the other hand, if you are a hardcore content creator you may feel you can do without the RGB lighting in the Corsair 5000T case and six of the fans. After all, you will get the same cooling performance if you buy the Corsair 5000D AirFlow case and will save loads of cash in the process which could allow you to step up from the Ryzen 9 7900X to the 7950X.

In our view the PCSpecialist Zircon Master R is a good all-rounder that will keep everyone happy, provided they are prepared to spend the best part of £3,000.

You can buy the PCSpecialist Zircon Master R for £2,849 HERE.

Pros:

• High quality components and tidy assembly.
• Good combination of gaming performance and content creation.
• AMD AM5 has an upgrade path for the next few years.

Cons:

• 95 degrees C CPU operating temperature just seems wrong.
• 12 CPU cores seems excessive for gamers.
• Price of the PC is slightly steep.

KitGuru says: PCSpecialist Zircon Master R uses AMD Zen 4 to deliver plenty of stomp.
