Looking to upgrade my CPU and Mobo of course, as I'm currently running an i5-7500 3.4Ghz with a cheap MSI H110M Mobo. I'm having trouble finding out which Ryzen CPU will be the best value for my needs, as I want to overclock and get the best possible gaming performance out of it without spending...

So basically I just bought BF1 for my PC, and on campaign in runs on Ultra with no problem, but on multiplayer I can barely run it at medium settings. I watched youtube videos prior to buying the game and people with nearly the same build were getting much better FPS than me in multiplayer...

So my jpwr2 port on my MSI H110M Gaming Mobo only allows a 4-pin connector but my Thermaltake 650W PSU's "CPU" connector is a single 8-pin connector, its not split or anything. If anyone could help me or point me in the right direction it would be highly appreciated, thank you

I am currently picking out the parts for my second gaming PC. This one will be used solely for 1080p Gaming, and web browsing. Though my budget is currently unknown, I am trying to keep it as CHEAP as possible, since I will have to also add another $300 for OS & 144hz monitor. So keeping it as...

Putting together my second build. I will be using this build mainly for 1080p Gaming, and some video rendering but nothing too extreme. I wanted some feedback on this, and any tips on how I could make it better without really raising the price(the less I spend, the better). The case was given to...

So, I'm putting my build together here on PCPP, and I wanted to know if 16GB of DDR4-2133 Memory would reign any significant advantages over 8GB. I know many people now-a-days are adding 16GB just to be safe, but is it really worth the extra $30-40 SOLELY for 1080p Gaming? Any feedback would be...

This will be the build that I start saving up for during the summer, of course the 980ti will be replaced by a Pascal/Polaris GPU if they in the same price range. 1TB SSD because I'll have the extra money, and am I'm an impatient speed-whore. Planning on SLI'ing the GPU down the road, hence the...

Which would be better for 1080p gaming based off raw performance and overclocking? The 360 is $10 cheaper, so would the 750 Ti be worth the extra $10? 750 Ti: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KHUE0MC/?tag=pcpapi-20 R7 360: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZGF0TQY/?tag=pcpapi-20

Trying to find a CPU cooler to overclock my 6600k to 4.5-4.6ghz. I said easy to install because I previously had the 212 EVO and it was such a pain installing, and I never had it installed right because I just couldn't get it. Are their any CPU Coolers out there powerful enough to cool...

I'm putting my build together, and basing it around the fact that I want to livestream while playing games like Rust/Arma 3 at 1080p, and I want to know which cpu will perform better for me, the 6600k or the 4790k. I know that the 6600k is newer and cheaper, but it seems that te 4790k is a an...
