    Would this barrel jack splitter let me use one laptop charger instead of two?

    Hello, I have a DIY portable PC project that will not accept an ATX psu because it is an ultra small form factor. I plan to use the following pico psu to power my CPU/motherboard/ram and ssd. I will use the Noctua Low Profile NH-L9i to cool my Ryzen 2600 (non OC)...

    Is the Ryzen 3 1200 for 54 pounds on ebay a good deal (used)?

    I am thinking of upgrading to Ryzen from the i5 4460. I have a limited budget of 200-300 pounds but would like to spend the cheapest possible. Should I get the Ryzen 3 1200 now and then save up for the 1700x? I can then get a good motherboard and start with 8gb of ram and get 16gb when prices...

    How much should I buy a used GTX 1080 8gb for?

    I am looking to upgrade to a GTX 1080 as cheap as possible and was thinking of getting a used one from Ebay or Gumtree. I am in the UK so I can't use Newegg or sites like that. The cheapest brand new 1080 was on sale for 399 pounds. Basically 400. I have seen some on ebay for mostly around...

    replace gtx 970 with crossfire 7970s?

    Your GTX 970 is better then a single HD 7970's. Honestly Crossfire or SLI are not worth it because games do not support two or more GPU's. Instead ask if you can sell your HD 7970's and then sell your GTX 970. People still buy a 970 as it is quite a good card for 1080p. With the money from all...

    Is the Sandisk SSD Plus 480GB SATA III 2.5inch SSD a fast and reliable SSD?

    All the other SSDs were more expensive but for what I use it for it should suffice. I mighte get the 240gb model since I don't need that much room. Just a couple games and stuff.

    Is the Sandisk SSD Plus 480GB SATA III 2.5inch SSD a fast and reliable SSD?

    I need an SSD for my laptop cause I play some games on it and do multimedia and work on it and it gets really slow. It has an i3 7th gen CPU which is the cause of my problems, a 940mx GPU and I upgraded it to 8gb of ddr4 ram. It gets really slow and freezes up constantly so I've been meaning to...

    Would this motherboard allow me to get a good overclock on Ryzen 2600 and be future proof for the Ryzen 3000 CPU's?

    Thanks! I will get that upgrade. I also will get a new PSU cause my 450 watt is dying sadly. It was second hand and I don't trust it with the new CPU.

    Would this motherboard allow me to get a good overclock on Ryzen 2600 and be future proof for the Ryzen 3000 CPU's?

    So I have decided to get the Ryzen 2600 from Amazon. I will pair it with 16gb of 3000 mghz DDR4 rgb Team Nighthawk ram. I am looking at this motherboard from from Gigabyte. It has heatsinks on the Vrm and should provide a decent overclock. It also has 4 ram slots in case I want to get 32 gb of...

    Mini ITX motherboard for Intel i3 8100?

    I am looking for a mini ITX motherboard for Intel i3 8100. I will pair it with 8gb of 2400 mghz ram and a gtx 1060 3gb. On a budget so I have to go quad core sadly. This motherboard from Asrock appears to be mini ITX and says it supports 8th gen processors which would be Coffee Lake 8th gen...

    Is this a good motherboard for the Ryzen 2600x?

    By the way I have a low profile Noctua NH-L9i I believe. Could it handle a mild overclock? If not I will get an AIO or a Noctua atx air cooler.
