    [Build Help] I5 3570k build vs i5 4590 build?

    Depending on the game the 760 GTX beats out the 7870 on most benchmarks I'm looking at by 10fps (20-30 on bf3 and some others). I'd say PC1 would be my bet if I wasn't looking at upgrading anything soonish/ever. Aka buying a new computer instead of upgrading it over time. However I'd take pc2...

    Budget medium capacity SSD needed and instruction!

    The Samsung Evo is a great choice, However, I would like to pointout that your weakest component is probably your Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - originally release January 2007. While upgrading your load times drastically is great (Just upgraded from a similar drive was 1tb, but 7200rpm etc to a...

    Is the Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 CT2K8G4DFD8213 good RAM for games?

    With this ram you're bottleneck in performance will probably not be this ram. However without knowing how you run your computer it can be hard to tell how much ram you need. As long as you don't have a crap ton of applications or web browsers open you should be fine. I run 8gb of ddr3 2400 and...

    Popup on Chrome says virus??

    I personally always like to run a separate scan other then the one that potentially missed it. However as fil1p said. Since it came back with nothing and you're not seeing it on other site you "should" be fine.

    Popup on Chrome says virus??

    It definitely was fake, my recommendation is to either run an Avast "Boot-time scan" or Download Malwarebytes free edition and run that. I've had better luck with the Boot-time scan, however this works by restarting your computer and running before windows has started running. This also takes a...

    Question about dual graphics cards.

    I'm slightly confused by your wording but let me try to give you an answer as far as I can understand. If you mean can GPU 1 connect to Monitor 1 and GPU2 Connect to Monitor 2, I'm afraid the answer is no. This at least to my most recent of knowledge is a Nvidia only feature. If you mean have...

    Go for 770gtx SLI or wait for 8XXgtx

    Yeah, I have a MSI Z87-G45 Motherboard it says that it runs at 8x/8x/4x running with a overclocked i5-4570k and 8GB Gskill Trident 2400mhz ram. I'm a computer tech in a small town and just haven't had much experience with computers that were running sli setups, the few I have were always...

    Nvidia GTX 780 3GB good for single monitor 1080p gaming?

    It is hard to predict how much future proofing a card will provide, if you stay at 1080p I would imagine that you could keep that card for at least 4 years before any games will shove it below medium graphics to have a nice solid frame rate. (90% of AAA games I play on my 770 are on ultra/max...

    Go for 770gtx SLI or wait for 8XXgtx

    Hello, I'm new to the forums and I apologize in advance for the poor formatting of my first post. So I am giving my power supply away to a friend and was thinking it might be a good time to go for an SLI build since the power supply is the only thing holding me back on the hardware side. My...
