    Question Upgrade cpu or gpu?

    I currently am running a i7-8700 (non k) and a Zotac gtx 1070 ti amp extreme. I am considering an upgrade but can’t decide what to upgrade cpu or gpu. What would give more performance per dollar when gaming?

    [SOLVED] Will the Aorus gaming pro WiFi Z370 be good enough for 5ghz with 9700k?

    As the title says. Already have the Z370 and don’t want to spend money to get Z390 if it isn’t necessary.

    Does it matter which pcie slot i put my graphics card in?

    OH NO! I tried the other slot and it wasn’t detecting my gpu, so I put it back in the first slot. Now I’m stuck on the loading screen and it won’t move. PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Does it matter which pcie slot i put my graphics card in?

    I have a Cryorig H7 that produces a lot of heat, which is right next to my graphics card. Am I able to just move the graphics card to the second slot without facing any problems. Under my motherboard specs it says PCIe x16: 2. I have a Tampa2 motherboard.

    Can’t get front panel of of hp omen 880.

    I am trying to replace the front case fan and the screws are behind the front panel, but I can’t get the front panel off. Towards the bottom and top it moves freely. Around the middle it feels like something is screwed in, but I can’t find anything like that and I’ve been trying for the last 3...

    URGENT!!! Cryorig H7 won’t fit over original backplate

    I was installing my Cryorig H7, and by the way I’m a complete hardware noob, and I ran into a big problem. The original backplate that was on there was too thick and with the cryorig one overtop the screws didn’t reach far enough to put the caps fully over. Where can I buy, if I even can, the...

    Where can I buy outer cover for gpu?

    Is it possible to buy just the outer cover for a gpu. I have a prebuilt system that came with no cover over the gpu. I’m trying to improve airflow, which is lacking in my system, by getting a blower style cover, like a reference card would have, to fit over my gtx 1060.

    Looking for a small, but very good, cpu air cooler.

    My case is an hp omen 880 150t and I’m running an i7 8700. I don’t think this case has very good air flow either with only 1 case fan in the front and 1 in the back. What I’m thinking is that I get the cryorig h7, dual Corsair Air Series SP120 High Performance Edition fans, and Thermal Grizzly...

    Looking for a small, but very good, cpu air cooler.

    I need a cpu cooler to replace this terrible stock cooler. However, I only have about 6 inches from the side panel to the cpu, and to make things even worse my ram is very close to the cpu. Also, I was looking at the hyper 212 EVO and while it technically would fit, at least I think, it would...
