I need a new CPU in my new build and I have 2 options: Core i7 8700K and Ryzen 7. Which one should I get, since I stream a lot, video editing a lot, and game a lot. Which is the better option?(1700 or 1700X, I'm using an NZXT Kraken X62, so overclocking will be more than possible)

I recently had my surge connector completely shut off while my computer was plugged into it. My computer never turned on after that, even after multiple tries. I ordered a new PSU, thinking that was the problem, only to do physical damage to the board, which now doesn't work. I decided to start...

I'm building a new system and intend to spend $250 on a CPU, and at my local Micro Center, I found both the Intel Core i5 8600K and AMD Ryzen 7 1700 for $250. I do video editing in Adobe Premiere and sometimes Davinci Resolve, and I play games such as GTA 5, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands...

I was playing Forza Horizon 3, and then my monitors go black. They just go pitch black. But they were still getting power, so they're fine. Then I look down at my PC. I see smoke or steam (couldn't really tell which one) coming out of the back side panel. I got very frightened at that point...

I was thinking about doing a hackintosh build, but not exactly sure about it. Then I thought, "If I'm gonna be using my Final Cut Pro X for nearly everything, which GPU option should I buy: AMD RX 480 or NVIDIA 1060? The 1060 performs better, but Apple uses AMD GPUs in their computers. Which...

I am looking for an inexpensive laptop that can handle 1080p editing in Adobe Premiere, Audio Recording in Audacity, and recording gameplay of my desktop. So when I found out the I could get a dGPU model Surface Book on amazon for less than $1500, I'm thrilled. Will this be good enough to handle...

I have been using the Razer DeathAdder Chroma for around 6 months, and I love it. It is the best mouse I have ever used (because it is my 3rd ever mouse, 2 being $20 Logitech ones). Now I hear that Razer announces the DeathAdder Elite, and the reviews are all positive. My question is: should I...

I need a laptop. Not just any laptop, but one that can game, and edit video. To me battery life is important. The Asus GL502VS looked awesome, except for it's crappy battery life. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to give some suggestions.

I am getting an S7 Edge (don't even start with me, I had S6 edge which broke, filed a thing, which gives S7 edge, no other option, so don't tell me how I should be getting iPhone 7/Plus). My S6 Edge is a fantastic phone, but now I am getting a Black Onyx S7 Edge because my other one was broken...

Like i said, I want 16GB RAM, not the base model that has 8

I need a new laptop for a little bit of video editing, some light gaming, and web browsing, as well as office. I just got an email from Razer saying that all of the "NEW" Blade Stealth models have 16GB of RAM except for 128 SSD model, and for $1250, I find that hard to beat. But then I found the...

I am a little worried about coil whine. Any thoughts on that?

I am buying a GTX 1070 today. Should I get the EVGA 1070 FTW, or ASUS ROG STRIX 1070? The Asus ROG STRIX is $10 cheaper, but does not come overclocked. Which one should I get? EVGA: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487259&ignorebbr=1 ASUS...
