    Are Hard Drives a bad idea for moving rigs?

    I'm considering a couch gaming PC rig to replace my console, but eventually I also want to get a monitor and decent peripherals and I want to be able to unplug my PC and move it upstairs (as my desk is upstairs and my TV is downstairs) whenever I want a desk experience or big picture experience...

    1080p w Heavy AA VS 1440p VS 2160p (4k) Visual Jaggies

    60FPS ideally, but 45-50FPS is fine for me (as long as it doesn't frequent below 30FPS). My question was directed to those who've compared the three resolutions and could properly explain the visual differences they've seen with jagged lines and clarity and such, so I myself can do the research...

    1080p w Heavy AA VS 1440p VS 2160p (4k) Visual Jaggies

    @Chugalug_ 60FPS w medium or high settings is my goal, I'm considering either 1440p 60FPS with a GTX 1070 or 4K 60FPS with a GTX 1080. I'm not concerned with maxing out settings or getting 144Hz.

    1080p w Heavy AA VS 1440p VS 2160p (4k) Visual Jaggies

    I know that 1440p has 1.78x the pixels of 1080p, and 2160p or 4K resolution is 4x the pixel count of 1080p. On paper, a 4K system with a GTX 1080 would be a better value in terms of pixels per dollar than a 1440p system with a GTX 1070. However, I also understand that 2160p does not look 4x...

    Advice on i5-2400 used or G4560 new?

    As a student that's just getting enough money for a PC through holiday money and selling old consoles, building a system with a used i5-2400 and mobo and RAM looks very appealing for $44 cheaper than a new G4560 build and performs similarly, but what concerns me is the longevity. I read that...

    Are 500w+ PSUs worth it with components getting more power efficient every gen?

    Soon ascending, and wondering if anyone thinks getting a 500w+ PSU is worth it for a regular single-GPU build in this day and age where GPUs specifically keep getting more and more power efficient every year? Even a GTX 1070 can be used on a 430w PSU (which is the power supply I'm currently...

    Will the i5-6400 bottleneck GTX 1080 in 4K?

    After doing a bit of research on the average framerate the i3-6100, i5-6400, and i5-6600k respectively, I found that the i5-6400 is a mathematically better value per dollar. What I can't find through research though is how bad or if at all the 6400 bottlenecks the GTX 1080 (or any card in the...

    G402 vs Rival 300 Mouse (Both $35)

    Right now the Logitech G402 and SteelSeries Rival 300 are both $35 on PCPP, but I'm very inexperienced when it comes to gaming mice. I know that the G402 has more buttons and a better sensor, but which one will last longer? I don't really give a crap how it performs day one, the thing I care...

    Is an i5-6600K and GTX 1070 Enough For 5760x1080 Gaming?

    Is an i5-6600k and GTX 1070 build with 16GB of RAM enough to game on three 1080p monitors at a playable framerate with High+ settings on power hungry games like RotTR and Crysis?

    I'm looking for Graphics Cards With 4K HDR. Which is the best to go for?

    Do you need it right now? Because it's likely that the 1080 TI for most likely $800 will be the perfect ideal 4K card for years to come, and the RX 490 is probably coming soon with the performance of a GTX 1080 for a lower price. If you need a card right now though and can't wait then the GTX...
