I'm sorry I'm a bit confused by your answer, are you saying I should perform a clean install of windows? I did look at the bios and the SATA configuration wasn't set to RAID, rather it was AHCI. I haven't changed it, I mdon't know if I should.

Okay I updated the BIOs and the new error message is this: https://i.ibb.co/mz3VYGt/PXL-20200922-163226866.jpg I have searched around and I've seen some inconclusive threads saying you should replace or clear the CMOS battery. Could my mobo's battery really have died that quick, I've had it for...

Okay, good call, thank you!

Thank you, the budget is under £750 (originally was £700). The 3300X certainly does perform better for gaming and is cheaper. Completely missed it. What would be the drawbacks of it though? How can it cost less? What would having fewer cores affect? Also why change out the mobo? Is the one I...

Hi, I am building my first PC for uni and this is what I have come up with. I am pretty sure it's all compatible, but I would really appreciate it if someone could double check this for me as I don't trust myself or pcpartpicker! Aside from that I have a couple questions: Is the PSU good...

Hi all, Wanted to know which I should get. It's going to be paired with i5 8600K and ASRock Extreme 4 and will be used mostly for gaming. Possibly going to get 1440p 144Hz monitor in the future. GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming --- 576,62 € ASUS GeForce STRIX GTX 1070 Ti Gaming Advanced...

OK great. Thank you so much everyone!!

OK. Neither NH-D14 or NH-U12S are in stock or scheduled to be, so I'm sticking with the Phanteks one. And I think I'm going to go with 2x 140mm fans on front since the case allows it, and it comes with 1 120mm on top and another rear. With the TC14PE will I be OK to do moderate overclocking?

OK thank you so much everyone! I guess I'll go with the Phanteks TC14PE. Do you think it'll fit with the RAM, and if it does, will it cover it completely. As the RAM is RGB, and it would be a shame for it to be completely covered.
