    Will this i5 fit my system?

    Hello hello! I have an i3-4160 currently, with a Gigabyte B85-HD3 motherboard. The i3-4160 has been suffering for some time, given that I tend to play some somewhat CPU-intensive games, so I've decided to upgrade. I've settled on the i5-4690, given that I've heard good things about i5s, and its...

    Would this PSU suit my needs?

    I did eventually decide to go with the RM550x, as I am only looking for something more reliable and of a higher quality than my CX500, and there seems to be nothing to suggest that it isn't just that. Thank you for your help!

    Would this PSU suit my needs?

    Hello! I'm basically just asking around and seeing if anyone has any experience with a Corsair RM550x. I have a CX500 that I upgraded to last year, free of charge from a relative who had one lying about, but I've read some rather worrying things about its reliability and just to be safe, I'm...

    Will this PSU be good enough for gaming on this machine?

    Hello! I'm upgrading to a GTX 960 4GB after Christmas, though I'm unsure if my PSU will be good enough. I know my current one certainly wouldn't be and I was going to upgrade to something from XFX. I shared this with family and a relative offered to give me a spare PSU he has. Its a "Corsair...

    Which GTX 960 will serve my needs the best?

    Hello! Essentially, I'm currently stuck between two GTX 960s - Both of them cost roughly the same and I'm unsure of which one will provide higher and more stable framerates in the sorts of games I'd like to play. They are these two here; One and two. One of them is the 4GB model with slightly...
