    Power supply burning?

    So what should I mention when claiming the warranty. Will they accept the fact that a power surge damaged this or should I word this differently?

    Power supply burning?

    Turns out I don't have one. What just happened, will that affect all my components or just my power supply and could I get a replacement through Amazon or warranty?

    Power supply burning?

    I don't know about surge protectors so how would I know I've got one. That probably suggests that I don't have one

    Power supply burning?

    What happened was that the electricity in the room in which my PC is in went out for a minute and then came back on. 15 minutes or so later I walk back into the room and notice a very strong smell as if some plastic was burnt. The PC was not turning on so I opened the side panel and the smell...

    2560 x 1080 with HDMI/DVI?

    Hi. I've seen some customer reviews on Amazon for the LG 29UM65 claiming that you must use a displayport cable to achieve the max resolution of 2560 x 1080. I didn't think this was the case and I thought that this resolution could be achievable with an HDMI or DVI cable at 60 Hz/FPS. If anyone...

    Is it safe to buy a new motherboard and then just store it?

    Hi. I managed to get an amazing offer for a CPU and a motherboard (i5 4690k/Asus Maximus VII Ranger) but I only have 20 days to take up that offer. I was looking to buy all the other parts for my PC during February or March so would it be safe for me to buy the motherboard and CPU then just...

    PSU for a GTX 970?

    i'm thinking of buying the Be Quiet! Pure Power L8 530W. PCpartpicker says my PC has a total wattage of 317W so is this PSU good enough because it has a bronze efficiency (at least that's what i think it is) rating and apparently it's not a great PSU. I don't necessarily want a great PSU as long...

    Best looking games to buy for a new PC?

    Far Cry 4's a good call. I've noticed on G2A they have watchdogs for less than £10. How long should I be expected to wait for games like Far Cry 4 to fall in price because I mainly brought a PC to be able to buy more games with the same amount of money because I'm not concerned with getting...

    Best looking games to buy for a new PC?

    Hi. I'm going to build a new gaming PC but I want to start off by getting some games that have amazing graphics so I'd like some recommendations. I've already got MGS V in mind and I've already got Battlefield 4 and Crysis 3 on a PS4/3 so I'm not really interested in those two games. Also, how...

    MSI 4GB Radeon R9 290X or MSI 4GB GTX 970?

    That's true but I was looking at the economic sides of it and I wanted to see if there was any serious savings I could get. I've decided to get the GTX 970. Just out of curiosity, at what settings will I be able to run a game like Watch Dogs in?

    MSI 4GB Radeon R9 290X or MSI 4GB GTX 970?

    Are these GPUs overkill for 1080p gaming?

    MSI 4GB Radeon R9 290X or MSI 4GB GTX 970?

    Which one of these graphics cards should I get because they look similar to me but I'm not an exert so maybe im wrong. If there are any other GPUs in a similar price range that you think I should get then don't hesitate on recommending it to me. Also (hopefully I don't regret asking this), how...
