    Gainward GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Can it fit in my case?

    Open your case and look at the power supply and mention it's size (atx, matx, or μatx). μatx power supplies are particularly hard to find so just pray you don't have that size.

    Gainward GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Can it fit in my case?

    I think so it can. The gainward card looks pretty small but just to be sure measure the distance between the slot in the case where the gpu would be installed and the other end of the case and compare it to the length of the card. Hope this helps.

    I need help with upgrading my pc components. Start with CPU or GPU, and which one?

    The i3 7100 is a great choice too. Although if you are on a very tight budget (which it seems) then go for a G4560 as recommended by LucoTF. It has pretty similar performance to the i3 7100.

    Need help choosing CPU/GPU! i7 7700 + GTX 1070 or i5 7500 + GTX 1080?

    Yah I understand what you mean but the amount of watts mentioned on power supply is the peak watts it can supply and you don't know for how long will it supply the peak wattage. I've never heard of this brand and you should at least buy a 650 w power supply from a reliable brand like evga or...

    help with gpu upgrade.

    Yes it is compatible and it will work well with the cpu(apu?) you have as it is comparable to an i3 which is perfect for the 1050 ti.

    Need help choosing CPU/GPU! i7 7700 + GTX 1070 or i5 7500 + GTX 1080?

    My first recommendation to you would be to upgrade your power supply. 500w isn't enough for a system so power hungry. Ok coming back to the point I think you should buy an i5 7500 with a gtx 1070 and invest more on your power supply. P.S. Buy from one of these power supplies...

    Need advice on building semi old AMD rig

    Have you unboxed the motherboard? If you haven't then sell it. The case can still be used.

    Just upgraded my motherboard and now Windows 10 says it's no longer activated.

    Do you have a Microsoft account linked to your licence? If it is then go to settings>update and security>activation>troubleshoot. Now click "I changed hardware on this device recently". Sign in and you'll see your device and press activate. P.S. If you are logged into windows 10 with a...

    Fans not working (B350 Tomahawk)

    Is that BIOS version on the Beta stage? If it is then downgrade to a non-beta/stable version if possible. Also try to flash your BIOS again as there is a possibility that BIOS may not have been properly flashed.

    Fans not working (B350 Tomahawk)

    Make sure that your fan headers are properly installed. If your fans don't work even after that then I think there's a problem with your motherboard. You should get your motherboard replaced. Also ensure that you have installed your fans in their respective fan slots on the motherboard (i.e...

    Check if your GPU has entered into power saving/ eco mode. This may limit your performance.

    Need Advice for next upgrade.

    If you upgrade your graphics card to a rx 480 then there is a possibility that your cpu might bottleneck your gpu. Upgrading your cpu wouldn't help much in graphically demanding games. And your pc doesn't look very bad in any way. So I recommend you to check for some problems like thermal...

    Can hair short an electrical circuit?

    I doubt that there would be any performance issue. Hair isn't a conductor of electricity so it can't short your components (probably). But in case a strand of hair does drop on one of your components then I recommend you to remove it as it may clog the fans in your system (although a single...
