    Power Supply Upgrade

    You don't need 750+ if you're only getting an 1180. I am not 100% sure about the specs of it, but I doubt it will use more than 300 even with the increased speeds and GDDR6. What you should do is what WildCard999 said and use a 550W or 650W if you're planning on using a high-end CPU with high TDP.

    Got a new (at least to me) GPU, and my monitors aren't getting signal from it.

    First words of advice: make sure your monitors are set to the right input Second words of advice: make sure your BIOS is set for the right input One other thing: make sure you download the drivers from AMD's website That should be all if that's not the problem let me know and I can see if I can...

    Running out of space on hard drive

    I take it you need to add volume to the storage on your C: drive. Just in case you do not know how, to do this you go to disk management, then proceed to click on the C: drive in there, and click extend volume. Select the amount of volume you would like to add to the C: drive, and if you plan to...

    Glitching on screen (dead gfx card?)

    Yup, had the same problem quite some time ago. Your GPU is dead bud, lucky for you GPUs are selling at MSRP again so you can probably find one that is compatible and affordable for you.

    PC randomly shuts down

    Seems like a PSU problem, if it's still under warranty I would recommend performing an RMA on the PSU. I am saying this because I had a similar problem with my PC a few months ago, after owning the PSU for around 2 years, and worked fine after replacing the PSU.

    Maximal Safe Temps for an i3-8100?

    This temperature is stable, but it would be best to keep the CPU running at lower temperatures, as some are not made to handle such heat for a long time. You might experience some underclocking while the temperature tries to correct itself, it might be best to wait for the fans to be repaired.

    Would this PC be able to run the latest games?

    That build would work well for playing the new games, but like madmatt is saying, the SSD you picked out is only 250GB, and games like GTA that take up 70 GB, and Battlefield about 50GB, PUBG being around 20-30 (I think), and Windows itself taking up 20 GB, you will probably run out of space...

    Ryzen 5 2600x and GTX 1050ti good match?

    Well, in this case I would say yes, there might be some bottlenecking, but it should be unnoticeable, which includes anywhere in the 0-10 percentile. This combination could experience anywhere between there, but I highly doubt you will see anything higher than 10%, maybe even 5%, so I do not see...

    Usb flash drive

  10. A

    Whenever I close a Uplay game, my windows lags extremely bad.

    What the problem seems like to me is that Windows is updating the drivers automatically, to a version that causes this problem. Disable automatic Windows updates, perform a DDU then install the drivers that seem to be working from Geforce Experience.

    PC freezes a few minutes after boot up

    I had a similar issue with my GTX 1080 ti and I was getting bright green, blue and yellow flashes mid-game, and after this it eventually went to such a bad point that my computer would run something that required mild-moderate graphics power, but then would cut to a BSOD and/or just freeze and...

    Usb flash drive

    Yeah Roland, if it's not being used I'm sure that caused what this guy is experiencing, pretty sure he can fix it with a disk check
