My friend is looking to upgrade his old cyber power computer, it currently has a 660 ti in it with a Xtremegear 800w PSU. He wants to upgrade to a 780 or a 780 ti, I have already checked that his motherboard and CPU are compatible, but when he originally received his computer, it did not have...

If saving money is key to you, then AMD gives you the best bang for your buck. Also the 750ti wont play to many games withe descent settings, if you can find a 760. To power it I would go with a 500w-600w psu, corsairs budget line, CX and CXM do the job nicely. Also, the motherboard will depend...

When looking for a cpu, dont just look for the highest gigahertz and the most cores, which is a common mistake made by lots of people. Just because a cpu has a higher clocked gigahertz, doesnt make it better. For example my AMD FX-8350 (8 cores and 4.0ghz) is equivalent to an i5 (4 cores at...

all this means is that the ram will not run at the advertised 2400mhz speed, but will rather underclock to a lower speed such as 2133. this will not affect performance as you have a dedicated gpu which uses its own ram. My ram runs at 1600mhz and I notice no difference from my older 2133 ram.

I happen to have a 8350 and I love it!, It can run very hot with the stock cooler, so I would recommend getting a closed loop water cooling set if you plan on overclocking, if not then a cooler master hyper 212 evo is a great option. I use this cooler and my temps are never that hot. It only...

I would definitely say that it is not worth it, as yo would be sacrificing one gb of ram. Your current setup is fine for most games at medium settings, but if you wanted to upgrade I would save up a little more and get a r9 280x, as it has more stream processors, and 3gb of ram. Also it would...

I am doing a new gaming PC build, and before I ordered everything I just wanted to make sure that everything i compatible. PCpartpicker says that it will all work, but I just wanted to get another opinion from you guys. What do you think? PC Parts http://pcpartpicker.com/p/g68Yf7

Its fairly hard to explain over text, Just look it up on youtube and you'll find a good tutorial. Also When you play your game, run a gpu stress meter to see if your card ever drops to zero, then goes back to normal. If that happens it would mean a faulty card.

Yes, The 280 was made to go with the lower FX line of processors. Other than the gpu, which you changed, everything seems well. If you can squeeze more out of your budget I still recommend the six core processor, as windows 8 takes advantage of more cores
