    [SOLVED] Completely new system

    Hey folks. I've got a budget of around £1,200 and I'm in need of a new rig but it's been so long and I'm incredibly out of touch! I play stuff like StarCraft 2, Total War, Doom Eternal, Red Dead 2 etc. and I'd like to run them on a decently high spec. I'd ideally like to get all of the...

    [SOLVED] Completely new system

    Thanks for the advice and the parts! Ideally though it'd be a little cheaper and I most likely won't need water-cooling as I don't plan to overclock it and I'd swap out the case for something a little flashier :p So maybe something like this instead? - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/YgKxVc...

    Question Selling laptop - Needs wiping

    So as the title suggests I'm selling my old laptop. I'd usually nuke it but I intend to leave Windows 10 on there and I don't trust their built-in reset to wipe absolutely everything from there, personal details etc. Does anyone know of any freeware that would be able to completely wipe...

    Question Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings

    Hello folks. Now I know this issue has been talked to death and we really didn't need another thread for it, but sadly here I am!

    Question Formatted Drive Recovery Software

    What's up folks. So very long story short I had to format my C: drive where Windows 10 was installed as the OS became corrupted and I tried literally everything to repair it with no success.

    Help amateur upgrade PC

    So if I'm going to start from fresh, what build do you think I should go for? I need specifics as opposed to general direction, as I say I'm new to this and learning slowly. I play a lot of RTS games, some harder than others. My most demanding game right now would probably be Total War...
