Hello everyone and thanks for reading into my problem. Here's the issue in detail: I have a 60mbps down and 10 mbps up fibre optics connection, with a ZTE F660 router provided by the IP. Recently, I noticed my downloads were much slower than before, most prominently in Steam where I have a...

Hi all! On this occasion I need advice on how to survive some dark times. I almost finished my build (i5-4590, MSI Z97 Gaming 5, CM Hyper 212 evo, Kingston Hyperx Savage 2x8gb), I only had to buy the GPU (a GTX 970, almost certainly the MSI 4GD5T OC edition simply because it's the only one sold...

I'll look into all of them, however, I really liked the 11 LP mostly due to the fact that it's lighter than the 212, which will save me a few bucks in international shipping (the 212's weight is mostly what makes it double its value for me).

Exactly my thoughts about the GPU. There's no way I can get a GPU from the US so I'm planning to grab a GTX970 here for around 550 bucks. I don't think a 4590 is going to bottleneck, I've seen plenty of reviews that say it's crazy awesome and cheap and that made it my first choice. I really hope...

Hello everyone. First of all, this is my first question on Tom's Hardware and being a site that solved lots of my doubts in the past, I want to say thanks to all the community. You really rock! Now onto the question. I am planning a completely new build for gaming, since my current PC is...
