There's no point going for an 8th gen i3 since they only have one chipset which is designed for the higher end cpu's. So you'll spend as much on the motherboard as the cpu and won't have any use out of it. So if going i3 go for an older gen or wait for newer lower end chipset. But I would still...

I would personally ignore the curved one for gaming, they can really mess your aim up in fps games and I'm guessing you play some competitive fps games if you're buying a gaming monitor. Also be careful which display outputs you have. Only dual link dvi and display port can display 144Hz and...

As a 19 year old I have to give my opinion, this is really bad of you, you should trust your kid to make the right choices. Talk to him what he should do when using Snapchat and what not to do and if you raised him right he will listen. You can't be watching over your kid 24/7. It will really...

If you have a standard case then it will look something like this. If you want to be 100% take a picture and show us like the user above suggested.

Here are my settings, using the nzxt kraken x61 for cooling. The voltage is pretty high but I haven't tried lowering it since I'm happy with the temps, (it has never actually reached more than around 70c during normal use despite what benchmarks above say.) I probably could get 5.2 GHz but...

The 8600k has extra 2 cores which is nice but it's visible in the price. The 8600k one is better at pretty much better at everything but you may not need all the extra power that it comes with. Depends if you're willing to spend the extra money. For gaming and overclocking the 7600k will do...

What monitor are you using? 60/144Hz ? Try using v-sync or limiting your frames to your refresh rate.

Windows doesn't like installing itself onto external hard drives. It can be done but not recommended. You can try to format it before installation. Try plugging the hard drive to another computer with windows and see if it works properly, then you can format it through command promt. If you...

Yes that's correct it depends on your CPU and motherboard but mostly motherboard as that determines what speeds you of RAM you can use. You will need DDR4 RAM with your hardware and with speeds up to 3800MHz. Ram is pretty expensive so you might aswell try and get the most speed as you can...

No especially if you don't overclock, I would consider getting some cooling and overclocking your current CPU. The price for the new coffe lake is way to high and you will need a new motherboard. Not worth it.

Your GPU has dual link DVI so yes it will run 144hz monitor but not the one you mentioned! This one for example will work. http://www.benq.co.uk/product/monitor/xl2411z/ 144Hz monitors are great and I can't imagine myself using anything but 144hz. If you have extra money you are willing to spend...

I use to have that PSU and didn't have issues with it but I didn't use it for a graphics card that extreme. Definitely get something bigger. You don't want a capacitor shortening out and damaging any other parts. I would personally get something around 750W+ area and at least 80plus silver or...
