So I have two HDDs, and 2TB internal and a 4TB Seagate external. For the internal, CrystalDiskInfo gave me a two cautions: Current Pending Sector Count 16 and Uncorrectable Sector Count 16. These numbers have been the same for a few months now. HD Tune gave me an 'Ok' health status with two...

Thanks for the answers. I'll give it a few months and see how prices are then, I'll likely upgrade at that point.

Do you have any brand in particular that you would recommend? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-259-MS The MSI looks interesting and seems to be a bit cheaper than the other brands.

Thanks for the answer, unfortunately my friend seems to have stopped gaming completely, haven't spoken to him in a while so not sure what did happen with that card.

Ah well my current specs include: i5-3570k clocked at 3.8Ghz 8GB Ram 650W power supply Can't quite remember my motherboard, a gigabyte model which obviously supports my processor.

So I have been holding on to my 7950 waiting for some new cards to be released. With these new ones now on the market I was wondering if maybe it is now time to consider upgrading. I have had my card for around 2 or 3 years now so maybe I should just continue to keep hold of it but I am not...

So my friend has a Gigabyte 650ti boost that he bought from Ebuyer and since he got the card it has been having problems. After booting up the pc and once he reaches the starting windows screen he gets a load of green horizontal lines on the screen which then proceeds to black screen. He says...

This is an addition to a previous question I had asked on whether to wait for what Nvidia may have in store or to go for a card now. I had forgotten to clarify what card I had so I am making this new one. In that thread I was recommended to get 2 290xs or 780s. Basically I currently have an XFX...

Thanks, I think I will go with the r9s.

I think I may settle with an r9 290x, the new cards won't be out for a while and I have found some nice models that I can buy.

I have also noted that the 780ti had 1GB less VRAM than the 290 or 290x but I haven't read anywhere that that is an issue.

I was wondering what I should do. I heard that the new 800 series is supposed to come out very soon like may or early june but I am not sure how reliable this is. I also heard that evga have a trade in or something where you can buy a card and trade it if a better one comes out within 90 days...

Hello. I have a question to ask whoever reads this, I am wondering what I should do with regards to upgrading my GPU. Currently I have an AMD HD7950 card with an i5 3570k processor and I was wondering, due to the recent R series of cards coming out and price drops of older cards, whether it...
