    The Steam Updates?

    You should be able to play depending on what the update is. If it previously had Game for Windows Live DRM you will have to update it to play. You won't be able to play online though.

    290x on PCI 2.0

    Hi I am looking at getting a MSI Radeon R9 290X Twin FrozR to replace my 7950. I have an AMD system which means I only have PCI 2.0. Going by these benchmarks (http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Intel/Ivy_Bridge_PCI-Express_Scaling/23.html) done on the 7970 the perfomance loss will be very...

    is this a good ssd

    Yes it's compatible with Windows 8. Doesn't look like a great drive though. Definitely not worth €75 second hand. You could get a new 840 EVO for that price. Which blows it away in this comparison: http://ssdboss.com/ssds/Samsung-840-EVO-120-GB-SATA-III-vs-Corsair-Force-3-120-GB-SATA-III

    32-bit or 64 bit?

    You will have a "Programs Files x86" folder on a 64-bit Windows system. As not all programs are 64-bit, the 32-bit ones are installed here. Battlefield can run on both x86 and x64 systems. This is why it's installed to the x86 folder. The standard "bf4.exe" is 64-bit "bf4_x86.exe" is 32-bit...

    SSD Samsung 840 EVO Vs Kingston V300

    The 840 EVO is a really good drive, and out performs the V300. On the other hand, if you want to save money/are on a budget, you won't notice a great deal of difference. As you can see in this comparison, the real world benckmarks are pretty close...

    No thats enouugh RAM. If it's no powering on at all then its a Power Supply Unit problem. Make sure everything is connected properly.

    Connecting a second wireless router as an access point via powerline adapter problem.

    What are the IP addresses of the two routers? Are they on the same subnet? Alternatively, why not put the second router in the same room as Xbox and use it as a switch.

    Gtx 780 3gig or Radeon R9 290X 4gig?

    Not much in it really. I suppose it all depends if you want PhysX or G-Sync. Or you think Mantle will be good for AMD. http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Sapphire-Radeon-R9-290X-vs-MSI-GeForce-GTX-780 If you did decide on the 290X I would wait for the non-reference models to come out. Which is pretty...

    Really bad screen tearing need a fix asap

    You're not wrong. FurMark can destroy your GPU due to overheating. Although, this is usually only when overclocking. You can run it if you want to just keep an eye on the temperature. If it hits 80°C then stop it. I use it to test if my overclock is stable. Just run it and see what FPS you get.
