    GTX 980 v. 1060 3GB

    I'm deciding between a GIGABYTE GTX 980 (4GB) and an MSI Gaming X GTX 1060 (3 GB).

    I have a question: If I somehow obtain an external hard drive/backup to store all my data, would I clone my HDD into the SSD when only the OS is in it?

    Migrate only OS from HDD to new SSD

    Hi, thanks for answering! 618 / 912 GB are being used on my C drive. I can't exactly quantify or estimate what my usage is (Unless there's something I'm missing), but the bulk of my data is used by games/applications, everything else are a couple documents. I don't know of anyone who has a...

    Migrate only OS from HDD to new SSD

    Hello everyone. Recently I obtained a new 120 GB SSD and would like to migrate my operating system into it from my current 1 TB hard drive. I found ways to do it but they all involve money or a full restart of my data. My previous computer which had the old HDD was pre-built (and so was...

    Value/Performance: i5 6500 vs. i5 6600K

    Hello everyone, I've been essentially building a new computer (scrapping my old one and keeping the GTX 960, 600W PSU, 1 TB HDD) and have concluded that I will be buying the ASUS Z170-A motherboard (1151 socket). Not sure if it's worth mentioning I have a 60 Hz Monitor at the moment. The only...

    Need help finding a nice and affordable motherboard (1150 / 1151 socket)

    I was planning to buy a new processor and replace my i3 2130 when the question arose whether the new processors I am considering would fit into my motherboard. Turns out it doesn't (current socket is 1155). It also turns out that that socket isn't very lucrative in processor variety. The...
