Best mobo and chip for £250? Have a gtx 750ti and 700w ps. Want something decent enough for mid level gaming as I will upgrade card to 1080 soon. Also on a side not which ssd would you guys recommend for around 100? Cheers

Hi guys, recently moved into a larger house that has pretty solid walls. Had virgin installed and am having issues picking up wifi at the back of the house upstairs. I've tried their netgear power line 1000s and still no luck. Wifi dropping out when it's rarely connected. So my solution was to...

Thanks man, after doing some more research that deal in maplin is actually pretty bad. The thing that put me off buying a new chip and mobo before is that ive heard you have to be very careful when applying the processor, applying it with glue if i remember correctly? Is this easy enough...

Thanks voodoo that helped a lot! I think for now I'm going to go for upgrading the chip and mobo. Then buy the SSD and I should have an ok system at that point right? Hopefully.. xD The i3 on Amazon is 1-2month waiting list, I'm a more of a do it this weekend kind of guy. What do you think...

Thank you. I'm a little confused, which would give me better results in terms of performance. Buying an i3 with a new motherboard or buying an SSD? How important is the motherboard? Is my current one worth changing for £70odd? If not then is it possible to apply the new i3 chip on my...

Ah ok thank you. So would switching the HdD to an SSD be just a simple switch over? My knowledge is limited but I'm extremely practical so as long as it's not a case of wiring in a bunch of new stuff I should be ok.. I'd be happy to spend around £200-250, would this be sufficient to pick up...

Thanks for the reply. I'm using a 780W power supply. What do you mean loose the HDD for 850 pro? (Sorry my knowledge on PC lingo is basic at best) :P I was under the impression that my cpu is terrible, and that (if it's possible) switching in a new i3 with a gaming mobo would make a massive...

Hey guys, A couple of years ago I added a few parts to a computer I had just to get up and gaming. It worked well enough for what I wanted but am now experiencing some slow issues which are pushing me towards buying a whole new system. At the time I didn't want to spend the money to change the...

Had a problem with new gpu but it's been sorted.

Is that really you Bruce Willis? :O Was thinking of the air in a can, I'll just grab some of that then. Cheers bud
