I am planning on building a PC in the future when prices come back down and stock is in a good position again, but I am a bit confused on storage. I have never worked with M.2 drives at all and want to have an entirely M.2 storage solution for my build. I plan on using the MSI MPG X570 Gaming...

Currently, at my house, our setup for internet is a NetGear Nighthawk R7000 Router and a NetGear CM1000 Modem with 100mbps down from our ISP, Midco. Our situation is that we have a growing number of internet connected devices that all use the internet quite consisently throughout the day. This...

Is it possible for errors to occur out of pure chance? My system is usually very stable and has never had any issues in it's 2 years of usage. Suddenly, just an hour ago, I was booting up my computer, and it got stuck on the BIOS, with a blinking underscore, that would not progress. Upon forcing...

I'm upgrading from a GTX 1060 to a 1070, and I've been spending a couple hours browsing different sources and sites about whether or not my system would need a different PSU than what I have (Which is a Seasonic S12II-520 Bronze). My system would be as follows: CPU: i5 8600K (Stock speeds)...

I'm looking at potential hard drives for my dad's PC and I'm stuck between a 2TB WD Blue or a 2TB Seagate Barracuda - and while I'd like to go with the more affordable Seagate option, I'm a bit worried about the failure rates compared to WD and how long it'd last. Do I have anything to worry...

Hi, I recently bought and hooked up a CyberPower LE1000DG UPS for my desk setup, with my computer being the only thing plugged into a battery outlet, and the rest in full time surge protection outlets. The manual claims that the max load for a battery outlet is 530 watts, and that worries me to...

Looking for a laptop in the $250 to $275 range, not sure what I should go for in that price range, please let me know a few good suggestions

My dad's old computer is dying and he is looking into getting a new one, and I've convinced him that it'd be better to buy the parts and let me build it. The issue with it is that he really wants to make sure that audio coming out of the PC will sound good (He has a stereo & an amp), and wants a...

I am looking at upgrading my GPU to a GTX 1070 as I'm switching to 144hz soon, and realized my PSU does not have the proper connectors for a 1070, only having 8+6 pin. If anyone has good recommendations for a quality PSU that can run an i5 7500/GTX 1070, please let me know!
