    Does blu ray/CD drive matter?

    I want to replace my CD drive with a blu ray drive as I collect and watch a lot of blu rays, are there any compatability issues with blu ray drives or can any drive work with my desktop as long as it fits? Thanks :)

    Can't buy ram in pairs, is 2 single sticks okay?

    Where I live the only way I'm able to get a pair of 8gb ram (I want 16gb for my setup), is buy buying from overseas with weeks of shipping. All the places near me only sell pairs of 8gb ram for DDR4 (I can only use ddr3 due to my mobo), or ram that wouldn't work for me for other reasons. Would...

    How do I know what RAM is compatible with my motherboard?

Unknown mobo to GA-b85m-d3h and an unknown psu to 750W COOLER MASTER V-series Semi-Modular PSU. So I guess I can...

    Would this psu go well with my build?

    I've decided to go along with the 750W COOLER MASTER V-series Semi-Modular PSU as it's tier two and is also on sale at the moment, thanks for all the help everyone! Don't know what I would've done if I accidentally bought a tier 3/4 psu :p

    Would this psu go well with my build?

    I just had a look at more psu's on mightyape (the website I use to buy things online), and would the 750W EVGA SuperNOVA G2 Modular PSU be a good choice? Apparently it's a tier one psu, however it's actually within a reasonable price for me (unlike many others) :p
