In Issue 224 we show you how to build a barn storming gaming rig for under a grand, complete with the latest tech from Intel and AMD. Our affordable PC sports a 6-core Intel Alder Lake CPU, 1TB of PCI-E storage, 16GB of memory and an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT GPU, all packed into an RGB-equipped case with a Corsair power supply. For the first time in over a year, building a decent gaming PC is affordable again. We show you exactly what gear you need to buy, and take you through the build process step by step, including a guide to setting up the EFI. Our sub-£1,000 gaming system can play Assassin’s Creed Valhalla at 1,920 x 1,080 with Ultra settings at 86fps, and even averages 65fps in Cyberpunk 2077 at Ultra settings. What’s more, it averages 256fps in Doom Eternal – great if you have a monitor with a fast refresh rate.

Electronic Sound Issue 77

We’re heading for the dark side of the krautrock kaleidoscope with this month’s Electronic Sound cover stars, the inimitable Can. We’ve a limited edition purple vinyl seven-inch featuring an excerpt from the band’s stunning new live album to accompany the magazine too. Prompted by the release of ‘Live In Stuttgart 1975’, the first in a series of archive Can gig recordings, we speak to Irmin Schmidt about the band he created with Michael Karoli, Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit towards the end of the 1960s. As we try to deconstruct their wholly unique brand of sonic voodoo, Schmidt reveals the inner workings of Can, together with his own memories of their powerful live performances. “We were constantly inventing collectively,” he says. “We came onstage and we didn’t have a plan. We just started. What we did was always a reaction to the whole environment – to the sound, to the acoustics, to the crowd, to our mood, and to the moment.”
