There is a huge difference between a pre-built Dell or even Acer using propritory parts and designed to make upgrading difficult to places that use branded parts you can actually see listed out. Generally, when getting a system from places like Ibuypower, Cyberpower, or Digital Storm, when going...

Yes, if you plan on holding your next monitors for a few years. We are seeing news panels across the board hitting market now with the newer IPS high refresh panels and a few more months for prices to drop as competition comes into play. Unless you don't mind spending the money on tech that will...

Your current monitor is still pretty nice. Where Gsync will really help with a 1070 is 4K and we are looking at another year at least before the new 144Hz 4K IPS panels arrive cheap(er), especially at 32" which is sweet for WoW. Granted, the 1070 won't take advantage of 144Hz, but within a few...

A good gaming computer is a relative term, however, you want something that you won't be replacing within a few years other than the video card. In that price range you'd be looking at an AMD processor if you also need an OS which i'd avoid for future proofing. If you go about $100 higher you...

Leave that running and you could burn down your whole damn house. Get rid of that PSU.

LoL. Whatever. I could never game on a 24" screen long term (anymore) nor could I stand the bezel bar in a multi-screen setup in immersive RPGs. We are talking about a 32" IPS monitor under $200. It's like saying, 'My Yugo came with a Bluetooth stereo system and I paid $1,000 less than you're...

Wrong forum, but boot into safe mode and see if it works there. If so, it is not the keyboard.

Look at the Pixio 27" IPS 144Hz monitor which runs under $400 and uses the same panel as monitors in the $700 range.

The game you mentioned, WoW, is a a strange one. In most current games, even new ones, Gsync won't matter much on a 1070 because you will always maintain a good FPS in 1K and 2K at ultra settings and shouldn't get much tearing or other issues Gsync can help overcome. In WoW, it doesn't matter...

Anything above 65% is fine and I would actually recommend the LG 32MA68HY-P 32-Inch IPS Monitor for budget MMO/RPG gamers who want a big and beautiful screen even though it is a new release with only 72% sRGB and you may see some rough edges from a foot away since it is only 1080p and huge. This...

I received my IBUYPOWER refurbed 7 days after my order and that was with having to fax them a bank verification form because they couldn't confirm me for some reason. Again- under $900 for : Case :: iBUYPOWER Revolt 2 Gaming Case Case Lighting :: Revolt 2 RGB Case Lighting Processor :: Intel®...

RMA the MB, CPU and RAM if you still can and let the seller deal with of trouble shooting it if you just bought it all because if it is a MB or CPU defect, you won't be able to troubleshoot or fix it. 30-40 FPS in ESO at 1080P with your specs means there is something wrong.

The best time to buy a pre-built system is a time like now when various new vid cards are hitting market from BOTH Nvidia and AMD while the CPU market has been stagnant and will remain so for gamers for a good while in terms of actual gains. I just picked this up for $900 because I added a...

Check out the IBuyPower refubed Revolt 2 selling the last few days for $899 and price out anything piece by piece even close to it's specs. Even with the limitations of the design, things are getting interesting. And yes, I know the PSU is questionable at best, but the cost is still lower than...

The RX 460 2 GB version comes out in about a week. For $99, it will not only the most powerful card for the money but it also has a lower power draw than current cards within the price range near the performance. The RX470/460 will be more future proof for DX12 and should be pretty decent in...
