    [SOLVED] gaming on ryzen 3 2200g/ryzen 5 2400g worth it until upgrade?

    I think You really should see if you can swing a 22 inch monitor and a wall mount, they're cheaper and better. If you're already using a desktop case (even a small one) the monitor itself is only 6 inches wider. The integrated graphics are plenty to play basic games on, or even fortnite on...

    SSD not recognised

    Could you specify motherboard, where you have them plugged in and all other plugged in devices? Sometimes a GPU or wireless card will be conflicting with an NVME for PCI lanes. I know I spent 3 hours troubleshooting an ASRock board to get my NVME unit working only to realize that the lanes are...

    [SOLVED] Opinion Upgrade Time - From Asus P9X79 PRO to...?

    Motherboards as a whole have come to be pretty high quality, even off brand options like ASRock are still decent quality boards but they have quirks such as mounting screws being in non standard locations. I would pick your CPU first then just choose a motherboard with decent specs to match...

    new gpu for old pc

    The 4770 is still a respectable CPU that will not be bottle-necking any of those cards. Feel free to upgrade.

    new gaming monitor for my laptop

    There are way too many variables you're leaving up to us right now. How big of a screen do you want? How high of a resolution do you want? Are you playing competitively? You will want something with a fast refresh rate, otherwise you may want a 1440p or even 4k monitor for more impressive...

    Answer Our Tech Value Survey to Win a $500 Amazon Gift Card

    Half these things I wouldn't spend any money on, but would accept for free/cheaper than a comparable alternative. I have no reason for a 4K TV over a full HD TV my vision isn't that good at TV ranges, and I would be getting a monitor or headset for 4K. So the real question is how much value...

    You Can Preorder AMD Ryzen CPUs Now

    I'll be putting my order in once the Ryzen 5 models get benchmarked. I don't have any real use for 16 threads, but it's awesome that performance desktops have reasonably priced options once again.

    140mm less air vs 120mm?

    The positive-negative pressure debate is mostly based off theoretical examples, in practice the pressure difference achievable by a non-airtight case is negligible in cooling effects, but has a minor impact on dust accumulation. If you have a sealed case where you have caulked up all the non fan...

    Can A GTX 580 run Modern games like Gears of War 4,Forza Horizon 3,Quantum Break (Basically DX12 games..)?

    The GTX 580 supports DX12, it has power roughly equal to a GTX 950, so you should be fine, but you won't be running at top graphics.

    Tom's Hardware Steam Giveaway - Watch Dogs 2

    The best code was idclip, otherwise I would have never figured out the icon of sin fight. The code I liked most was duke nukem 3d's dninventory, because using that to create medikits was way better than running back to water fountains and slowly healing that way. Preserved the gameplay...
