    Will I struggle to run games with my current specs (listed below) on a 1440p 144Hz monitor?

    MERGED QUESTION Question from Dirty_Sprite : "If I am a regular gamer, how long would a 1440p 144-165Hz monitor last?" How many years do you reckon a good quality 1440p 144-165Hz monitor would be suitable for? Is it worth spending close to $900 Australian dollars for it if I badly want to...

    MERGED QUESTION Question from Dirty_Sprite : "What is it like to play with an in-game resolution of 1920x1080 on a native 2560x1440 monitor?"

    Will I struggle to run games with my current specs (listed below) on a 1440p 144Hz monitor?

    I plan on upgrading from a 1920x1080p @ 144hz monitor to a 2560x1440p @ 144hz monitor. I don't necessarily want perfect 144fps but anywhere between 65-100 on relatively ultra or high settings is fine. My specs are: i7 7700K @ 4.2GHz (I may overclock a little) 32GB DDR4 MSI GTX 1070 (i feel...

    Can't launch from DVD drive to install Windows?

    I have burned the Windows iso file onto a disc with 5GB of space. When I hit F12 when the computer starts up I select launch from optical drive/dvd drive, but it just loads windows normally and dumps me onto the lock screen. Help.

    Does the "Media Creation Tool" for installing Windows give a selection of operating systems to install?

    Will I be able to select "Windows 10 Professional OEM" or does it just install Windows 10 Home? I'm looking for the OEM copy of Windows 10 Pro, I have a key but cannot find an ISO anywhere. Perhaps you just put the key in and it downloads the OS accordingly? Please clarify for me Thanks

    Looking for a PC case that fits the requirements below?

    Mid Tower, black/red or black, windowed (not an ugly window), space for at least 5 drives (two 2.5" and three 3.5") and space for an optical drive. I already have the Corsair 450D, but it doesn't have enough drive space, the 650D has an ugly side window and may be too big, and the NZXT H440...

    I have a Windows 10 Professional OEM key, where can I download the legit ISO for it?

    Microsoft site doesn't work because it requires me to buy it again. There is nowhere to buy Windows 10 pro OEM.
