So I´ve recently bought an i5 14600k and an RTX 4070 super to replace my aging i7 7700k with GTX 1070. I need recommendations for MOBO, RAMs. I live in Brazil, where prices are about 50% higher than US so I managed to get myself those more expensive parts in the US and now have to get the rest...

Hello! My CPU is running while idle within 60C to 65C. Under stress it easily reaches 90C and even 100C (gaming, video editing). I reapplied thermal paste, cleaned cooler heatsinks, fans and getting nowhere. I read that this CPU is usually hot and read some people suggesting to undervolt to...

in the end, I opted out for a b150m with i7 7700k. I was going to build it myself, but since I wouldnt have access to a skylake cpu to update the mobo, I decided to have it build in store for me. thank you for the help.

thanks for the reply, guys. I am certain they are compatible through a bios update and it looked rather easy with a bios update as it shows:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze4Dg11W3hU. just not sure if I'll have any kind of bottleneck because of bandwitch. I have no plans for overclocking since...

I'm building a brand new PC for mostly gaming, photo editing (lightroom) and occasionally video editing (vacation footage, not too much on Premiere). I usually browse internet with 10+tabs running and 3 or 4 apps running at same time. I plan on getting i7 7700k or maybe i5 7600k so I can stay at...

Both are good arguments. I forgot to mention I have a 27" 1440p 60HZ monitor which Im not going to upgrade, so 60FPS is what I'll need. Now i5 7600k is 330usd here and i7 7700 is 390usd. i7 7700k is 470usd

Is overclocking really worth it for the non tinkerer? The extra for Z mobos and K processors, plus aftermarket coolers or water coolers and higher PSU, do they deliver that much? I dont know wether I should go for a i5 7600, 7600k, 7700 or 7700k. I was going to get a cheapo mobo like the h110...

I am a tad confused. I have a 7year old Dell XPS with i5 750 which I upgraded 3 years ago with an SSD, more RAM (8GB now) and a gtx760. Now I feel like I need a whole new PC since the case is really tight and have old USB 1 ports. I spend about 40% of my PC time gaming, 30% photo editing (mostly...

@clutchhc, I think my PSU handles it we'll because my gtx 260 is oem and a little underclocked. Not buying dell ever again.

Is gtx 760 or r9 270x ok for 1440p gaming at high or ultra? I'm ok with 40fps. Gtx costs about 440-450usd here and found a reasonable priced r9 270x for 340usd. Is the difference of performance worth 100usd from 760? What about gtx 650 ti boost? I can get them for 300 usd here.

Thanks for replying. I could not post a pic but found an eBay link with the exact identical product: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-K159T-Studio-XPS-8000-8100-350-Watt-Power-Supply-Chicony-CPB09-001B-/171173347391?pt=PCA_UPS&hash=item27daba003f Actually found a pic someone posted in another forum...

Hello guys, I'm currently upgrading my 2009 dell xps 8100. Factory specs is standard xps case, which is pretty nice looking but kinda cramped inside, I5 750 2.6ghz and 4ddr 3 1066 ram.500gb 7200 hdd and gtx 260 dell underclocked version. PSU is a feeble 350w that came with the system. It ran...
