    [SOLVED] Need help picking monitor

    Hey all, I THOUGHT I felt confident in looking for a monitor but after two days of reading/researching my brain feels like it's going to explode. I need help choosing between these 4 monitors (or a better recommendation if it's in the $250-$350 range). OR....do I wait until closer to black...

    New fans for Zotac GTX970

    Hey all, got the dreaded dead fans on the Zotac GTX970. I've found some replacements, however my issue is that these two fans I've found are completely different blade designs. Wondering what direction I should go? Thinner/curved/more blades or thicker/flat/less blades? They're both 75mm, they...

    Acer R240HY - is this ghosting or something else?

    Hey all, Just recently bought the Acer R240HY. This is my first IPS monitor. I noticed some issues with it though. I'm honestly not sure how to describe it? I THINK it's ghosting? I could be wrong though. I swapped monitors with my wife (she has a TN screen) for testing and it happens with her...

    Weird graphics issues (fuzzy shadows?) in game

    I've watched multiple youtube playthrough videos and none of them have that same kind of "fuzzy shadow" effect. I also didn't see this when I had my R7 260X installed. I haven't noticed it in other games (yet). AA is set to FXAA in both the game and Nvidia control panel. Gamma correction = On...

    Weird graphics issues (fuzzy shadows?) in game

    I have a GTX970 in my pc with the latest drivers. Never noticed this when I had my R7 260X. Here's a link to my question on Steam. http://steamcommunity.com/app/203750/discussions/0/276237094329941555/

    I3-6100 buy or wait

    Right now the I3-6100 is on sale for $110 on Newegg. For those of you that are good with pricing/etc do you think it'll go any lower around black friday/cyber monday? I'm in no rush as we're piecing this build around sales. If you all feel strongly I should get it now though.......Thanks!

    Need help choosing motherboard

    I'm fairly new to the Intel scene. I'm use to AMD stuff. I'm building my wife a "budget" 1080p gaming machine. I've decided on the i3-6100 for now and later on will upgrade probably to i5. Right now I'm stuck between four boards. I don't PLAN on overclocking or SLI, BUT, the option is nice to...

    OK 2 cards.. DECISION TIME !!!!!! Let me know what you think??

    No worries. I try and help where I can with what I can. Not to mention I'm leaning towards getting one of their cards as well so it's nice to see what kind of customer service response they have. :D

    OK 2 cards.. DECISION TIME !!!!!! Let me know what you think??

    Just to give you a heads up. I emailed Galax about their warranty policy. My email : "Hi, I'm curious as to your warranty policy to countries outside the US. I'm helping a friend look for a card but he lives in Australia. I've looked through your warranty policy but I don't see anything that...

    OK 2 cards.. DECISION TIME !!!!!! Let me know what you think??

    Ah......my apologies. I missed that you were from Australia. Well, best of luck to you then! I wish I had a better answer for you. The 1060 is a badass card though.

    Need help - Can't decide

    I was honestly trying to stay closer to the $100 mark as this is a budget build. Eventually we'll upgrade but for now this is just to get her started with her own gaming pc so we can play together. The only reason I even considered the GTX 960 and R9 380 is because they're both on sale right...
