With GPUs hitting ÂŁ1,200 and CPUs topping ÂŁ400, new-gen builds have priced many UK consumers out of the market. Instead, the community thrives on second-hand hardware - a culture rooted in affordability, value cycles, and sustainability through reuse and right-to-repair.
CoreWeave and OpenAI have expanded their partnership with a new $6.5B contract, bringing the total to $22.4B in 2025. The deal supports OpenAI’s Stargate project, relies heavily on Nvidia hardware, and raises questions about concentration and regulatory scrutiny in AI infrastructure.
Nvidia’s $100B OpenAI deal promises 10GW of AI compute power by 2026. The company insists GPU supply for gamers won’t suffer, but with such massive demand on the horizon, many fear a repeat of past shortages. Is this the start of an AI-first Nvidia era, and what does it mean for PC gaming?

PC parts don’t just lose value.. they cycle. New launches push buyers toward older GPUs and CPUs, reducing supply and raising demand. Here’s why second-hand components stay valuable and how sellers can prepare them for resale.
Windows 10 dies in Oct 2025... but you can continue using it safely. Spend a 6 minute read to learn what it really means, what Microsoft's ESU offers, who qualifies, and how to protect your system while others rush to Windows 11.
