Hi~~~Ya! Please help me to decide on a budget Non-OC CPU. I pretty much decided to get Nvidia GTX 960, just need a matching processor that can run CS:GO at 1920x1080, 144Hz. I also intend to record gameplay with ShadowPlay and occassionally do some video editting at 720p~1080p. Options are...

I would choose ASUS VG248QE because, unlike the others, it supports display port which is my favourtie video connection interface atm. Other specs are pretty much identical. As long as you pick the one with a lot of good reviews, you'll be fine. May I suggest AOC G2460PF, it's a newer monitor at...

Hi experts, Please take a look at this PC build. I'm from Australia, buying mostly from this store link http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mfrmZL CPU: Intel G3258 Motherboard: ASRock H97M Anniversary Memory: Avexir Core AVD3U16001104G-2CW 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 Graphic card: Sapphire R9 380 4GB Nitro PSU...

Thank you for the quick replies. LOL@square frisbee. I run ubuntu with it, it really isn't too bad. + it's a stylish looking frisbee. =) It's okay to buy a new OS and upgrade a few component, but if it ends up adding USD$4-500, I might as well buy a new one. The seller said that the components...

I've lost enough USB sticks in my life.

Hi all, I'm a causal PC gamer, mostly interested in shooters. Gaming on a below-average gears with screen lag and input lag is really frustrating. My rank is usually above-average with my low-budget PC. But when I'm using my friends' top-of-the-line PC, I always ends up in top3. As the result...

First of all, thank you for all the suggestions. To be clear, there's absolutely no logic with regard to my failed attempt. I just took some cables from a box and matched them in shape until they physically connected, skill that I acquired from 3 years old. That DB25-to-USB converter cable...

Hi all, I'm attempting to set up an old receipt printer to a laptop. As I have no experience at all regarding networking and general computing, I'd appreciate for any advice. Thank you. I have tried the following with two intermediate cables, but to no avail. Printer...

Hi all, I'm setting up uniCenta oPOS for my restaurant. And I want to access the software from iPAD. uniCenta is designed to be touch screen friendly, so all I need is a remote desktop application that allows touch-to-point&click. Remote server is running on Debian Wheezy. I've tried realVNC...

If you don't overclock, an i5 with a h81/b81 (ASUS/Gigabyte) motherboard costs similarly or even less than a fx-6300 with a 990fx board. Also non-K i5 doesn require a 3rd-party cooler. The better power effeciency of i5 can save you a lot of $$ on electricity in a long run (how much depends on...
