Hi! I'm upgrading my PC and wondered if you'd be kind enough to offer some feedback on my potential choices. I primarily use the system for gaming. I may also setup duel boot OSX for work programming numerical astrophysics codes, however, bulk storage wont be an issue. Any suggestions to...

Thanks!

I don't know much about mobos so thought I'd ask the experts. I have a GTX 1070 and an Asus ROG Maximus VII Hero mobo. I know the rule of thumb is use the top PCI slot, but I'm reading through the manual to try make heads and tails of it but it's just confusing me. So the top slot is...

Thanks very much guys really do appreciate your time and effort helping enthusiasts like myself :P Btw I already have the SSDs and RAM, they're 2 and 4 sticks respectively because they're upgrades rather than original build. Thanks again!

Thanks for responding so fast Blackbird, would you mind just quickly looking over my complete parts list? I've tried checking on building sites but they don't have the Z97 in their database CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM...

Hello, firstly thank you for taking the time to read and help, I'm looking to upgrade my rig by adding a new GPU however in order to do so I'll need a mobo capable of SLI and a psu capable of powering it. I currently have a GV-N670OC-2GD model GTX 670 and am looking at getting something such...

Yep. Dumb moment of the week and it's only monday. Run under load if you want to see load speed -.- Sorry for wasting time and forum space >.>

GPU model: GV-N670OC-2GD Hello, I built my pc about 6 months ago and have been enjoying it very much. Recently I've thought about upgrading my GTX 670 as it seems to only be dropping to as low as 20fps during some games such as Wildstar, when the graphics are much more than medium setting...

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I did consider the psu being a bit low but as the mobo has got crossfire compatible written on it I (foolishly) figured it was SLI compatible too >.<

Hi, I'm currently running with a GPU of the the following model: Gigabyte GV-N670OC-2GD , which is running great, however I've been thinking about adding an additional card. Ideally I'd get another card of the exact same make and model, but the problem is is that nobody appears to be selling it...

*Bumb* Okay so after uninstalling windows 8 pro unactivated, I reinstalled windows 8 (not pro) OEM and activated it. However I was still seeing a random system freeze a few min after turning on the PC. I installed the driver software I got with the mobo and keyboard, tried to install the GPU...

Ah no I haven't installed the driver for the wireless card yet so it could be that. Still unsure about the freezing when idle. I've uninstalled windows (going to just go with using the disk I get tomorrow) and I've currently got the bios running and I've left that going for about 20min now...

Hey guys, I built my new PC yesterday and then then installed windows 8 pro on it (using the upgrade software). Everything seems to be fine initially, except that every time it tries to connect to the Internet it freezes and also appears to randomly freeze (even when doing nothing at all)...

Hello, I'm looking forward to getting my first gaming computer build under way, but before I go about ordering the parts thought I'd just ask for some opinions on my desired setup: CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (£174.86 @ Amazon UK) Motherboard: Asus Z87-K ATX LGA1150...
