Scan has now put the Ryzen out for pre-order. 1700 @ £319.99 1700X @ £389.99 1800X @ £489.98

Does the BIOS recognise the i7 as an i7 6700K? Have you tested the two CPU using any Benchmarks/stresstest? Could it be something in the settings in the specific game titles? GTA V is known to have "issues".

I guess it depends on your games and your budget. I recently bought a 970 for my son. It gets 60 FPS or more for most of the games he play (on a 60Hz, 1080 screen). The 1060 is probably better in some games, but if you would be happy with the performance of the 970 for a couple of years, you...

After a lot of umming and arring I ended up ordering an EVGA GTX970 FTW+ 1216/1376, which I think is the fastest EVGA card from Scan. As all off them appear to be at the same sals price £195-199 (as stock lasts), I bought the fastest I could find, except the marginally faster ZOTAC card which...

I built a pc for my 2nd son this Christmas, but took the old Gigabyte GTX650 card from the eldest as he got a 4G GByte GTX960 WF 2XCooler OC which I got at a quite a good price at the time. August 2016 I will get a new card to replace the GTX650, and my base case is to get exactly the same...

Thanks for the answer. It is indeed the same as for the LGA 1150 socket. I did find a youtube video for the installation of the 212, which was rather useful as the installation leaflet left out a fair bit of necessary detail. I used the stock thermal paste, and my learning experience now is...

I've got an i5 6500 and a CoolerMaster EVO 212, and also bought a tube of AS5, not realising that the CPU cooler came with thermal paste... So I have plenty of thermal paste, but no cleaner. Reading the AS5 instructions I get the impression that the heatsink needs to be cleaned prior to...
