I have an Acer Aspire V3-572G-719A and I've been looking to upgrade its 1 TB HDD to a 512 GB or 1 TB SSD. I built my own desktop before but I've never seen the inside of a laptop, so I am kind of hesitant to do it myself. But at the same time, I also am quite reluctant to bring it to a computer...

Ever since I used Windows XP, the first thing I always install on a fresh install of Windows is an antivirus and a firewall. However, most modern firewall software is too bloaty, and if I do find a firewall that is compact and lightweight, it's very complex to configure most of the time leading...

Thank you very much, clutchc!! That's right, I won't be messing with anything so I surely won't be overclocking. Noise doesn't matter a lot to me either (I'm usually always listening to music through my headphones anyway so I won't hear any of that)

I am going to build a PC and I will get a Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-D3H motherboard and put an AMD A8-7600 APU on it. I am not sure if the stock cooler that'll come with the APU is any good. I don't want to take any risks so I think I'll buy another cooler. Does anyone know of any good cheap fans that...

I'm new to the whole computer thing and I'm just experimenting on an old PC to learn myself more about PC's. Today's project was to replace the hard drive with a new one. I removed the old one and put in the new one. I wanted to connect all the cables again but when I wanted to connect the...
