It's that time again. Making a new system build with all the latest hardware. This system is designed around Gaming & 3D Rendering/ Art Work thus why I picked the 6-core & 32GB of RAM is pretty much a needed for what I do. Pretty sure I got everything in there I want but any thoughts on making...

Ok thanks guys. I got the Acer XB270HU and I had a look at the difference between the 980 and 980ti (both as a gigabyte windforce card) GTX 980 is $750AUD GTX 980ti is $1100AUD I dont think its worth the extra $350 I also compared the R9 290 and GTX980 and yeah its not a ton better but it is...

I went all out and got the Acer XB270HU which is a G-sync monitor and has everything you could want (27" 1440p, IPS Panel, Full 30-144Hz under G-Sync) The LG 29UM67-P has all the same BUT Free-Sync only goes from 35-90. Might not be much difference but gives me a reason to upgrade to a GTX 980...

So comparing the to you see they are both 24" 1080p monitors which is ok, both are TN Panels so no difference there, both are 144Hz and 1ms (GTG) response time due to being a TN panel which is great for gaming. One difference is the ASUS monitor has a 80,000,000:1 Contrast Ratio where as the...

So its been a while since I've looked into monitor technology and I recently heard about FreeSync as I have a AMD GPU (R9 290) so I'm considering and upgrade from my standard 24" 1080p 60Hz monitor. The monitor would be used for Gaming, 3D Art, Painting, Movies/ TV Shows etc. I'm looking at...

My motherboard Network adapter stopped working and it was easier to get a new Network card ($15) then return the board. I got the TP-LINK TG-3468 Now my Upload is 0.25 On both my Old PC & New PC my Internet speeds have been the same. 4.50mb/s Download 0.80mb/s Upload Is it that the card...

ok, I will try that out. my only issue with doing that is losing money due to shipping multiple parts (about $10-15 each part) Plus I'm not really comfortable disassembling the Motherboard, CPU & Cooler.

I just brought a new System - Here for anyone Interested So I want to sell my old one on eBay. I brought it in 2011 for $1500 AUD and its still a very good gaming system able to play most games at max settings or high for newer titles (Metro: Last Light, FarCry 3 etc) So my Question is, How...
