Hey guys, I have just build a PC but it won't run any games (even league of legends) which my old system will run fine. All games crash when they start but then if I get into them, they have fps drops to at most 40fps. This is the rig:- MOBO - Gigabyte 990X-Gaming SLI CPU - AMD FX-8350 GPU -...

pcpartpicker is your friend. I use it to check compatibility, and also to get vague ideas of prices (some other sites are cheaper, but gives a lot of sites for you to click through to.) One thing I will say is be wary of GPU length, I made that mistake on a different case and ended up having to...

If none of the above have worked, one thing I would suggest is to check your build/cabling, as it could be simply that something is shorting and causing the current protection (if your PSU has that included) to shut the system down. A couple of things that could cause this are your standoffs...

Amazon.... But seriously, as Nostall said above, use pcpartpicker :)

Honestly, I would avoid a pre-build if at all possible. Too expensive for what you get. Building is the way forward (cheaper and you can build what YOU want.) It has been compared to "lego for adults" so don't worry, anyone can do it. There's even YT videos that take you through the entire...

Thanks guys :)

Awesome, cheers :)

Just wondering, will an intel SSD work on an AMD mobo, or are they chipset specific? Thanks

I think I got that lol, cheers guys :)

I will be buying the legitimate copy, how do i set the usb as boot drive?

Hi guys, I put a post up on here a couple of days ago for my 1st build, however, I forgot to ask a question... How can I install Windows 8.1 onto my fresh system via .exe file (DVD copy not available as it is student version)

Awesome, Thanks so much, I'll be building this as soon as i finish my last project (Car Refurb :L) Thanks for the help and advice.
