    RTX 2070 on a i5 7600

    PUBG is not the best game to go off of when judging PC performance. It is a very poorly optimized and taxing game on even hefty rigs. If you feel a strong need to upgrade to a 20 series, then the best price to performance card will be the 2070 though there is next to no info on these cards so...

    RTX 2070 on a i5 7600

    I think the better question is do you need a 2070? What is your current setup and what do you plan on doing with a 2070? Personally, the 20 series has given me little to no reason to buy one yet. Depending on what your current setup is you may be fine upgrading to a 10 series or not upgrading at...

    Standard HD vs. SSHD

    Hi, I do alot of gaming and I was looking into buying a SSD but cant afford a large one. I noticed the Seagate Firecuda SSHD and I am curious how much faster it is compared to a standard HD.

    Should I Skip The 1080ti?

    Hello all, I was toying around with the idea of getting a 1080ti late this year maybe early next year, but I wonder if its worth it. I also wonder if my system is ready to handle it, (I'm pretty sure it is) but that's me being paranoid. Anyway, below is what I am currently running with triple...

    SSD vs. 10000rpm HDD

    I am looking into buying a hard drive to store my games on. I currently have a 1tb HDD (not sure how many rpms) that is 6 years old and a 250gb Samsung Evo 850 SSD. I was thinking of buying another 500gb SSD to replace my old 1tb HDD but they are a bit out of my budget right now. Is a 10000rpm...

    8370 Black Edition Bottleneck

    My friend has a AMD 8370 Black Edition OC to 4.8ghz. He wants to upgrade his GTX 980 to a 1080 but a few have told him his CPU will bottleneck a 1080. I personally don't think it will but I wanted a few opinions other than my own. I suggested he maybe SLI another 980 but thats besides the point...

    Ryzen socket type.

    I watched the AMD Ryzen conference recently and if I understood correctly, they said it will fit a AM4 socket type. I cant find any AM4 socket MOBOs. Did I misunderstand or am I not looking for the right thing?

    New monitor. Confused about resolution.

    Just bought a 27" Acer GN276HL monitor and its speced for 1920x1080 HD at 144hz. But for some reason the display defaulted to 3840x2160. I didn't even know that was possible. Will running at this resolution damage my monitor? And also the picture is a tad blury on this resolution. Im running as...

    Need Advice On Windows OS

    I have an older desktop that I soon plan to dust off and upgrade. Issue is it has no HDD or OS. So once I purchase a hard drive I then obviously need an OS. I'm not too knowledgeable about purchasing an OS. I was thinking Windows 7 would be the cheapest but when I looked it up there were several...
