I will be getting 1150 motherboard and have 1 older generation graphics card I want all 3 of CPU, motherboard and GPU to be around the £100 or lower kind of price. Motherboard is not that much of an issue but would an i3 processor and older graphics card be too slow and not powerful enough? As I...

Think I will, especially if go for quad processor. If go for smaller motherboard with only 2 slots probably switch to 2x8 and also get duo core with bit higher speed

I was thinking that a pump wouldn't be needed because you are putting ice cold water into the system yourself and the heat will go towards the reservoir itself The tubing inside wouldn't come into contact with the "outside world". It be similar to filling a car up, but instead you filling your...

A water block on the CPU. A reservoir in the drive bay with a release valve on the outside. Tubing connecting the water block and reservoir together. Then what you do to "manually" cool your CPU is drain the water (or coolant if don't like water) out and fill the reservoir with ice cold water...

1150, not sure which motherboard yet but maybe MSI Z97. However I may change my mind and get a smaller motherboard if only getting 1 graphics card to have more room in the case.

Without going overboard. Is the E-Blue Cobra Bundle pretty decent? Or does it have some major issue I not read about? I saw a review on a site and it got 9-10-10-10 rating which is pretty impressive and it's only ~£30 and you get keyboard, mouse and headphones with red/green/blue theme

When you have decided which memory to get, is it best to go 4x smaller or 2x larger Example, if I want 16GB, should I get 4x4 or 2x8?

Wow, that's a big jump. Now I know what the point of getting pro or ultimate might be. I was thinking of getting a 1150 motherboard and matching components from same "era". Not getting anything brand new for £500 or anything, hoping I can get the whole PC to cost £500 more like. For memory I was...

Phantom is one of those on my list. I actually got a youtube review paused since I join this forum ~hour ago :P Looks good but the window is not as big as wanted Last case I got was Antec something, forget the number. It was ~4 years ago, big and very bloody heavy. I liked it but I said to...

Should I get Windows 10 or stick with Windows 7 for now? Also, whichever one I decide to get, should I install updates as and when they come about or ignore them completely? I am wary of updates because I think sometimes the OS is fine to begin with and then problems start and I always blame it...

There a lots out there but I can narrow down quite a fair bit because I want 1. White case 2. Big as possible for under £100 3. Large window on the side, so rule out any that have no window or small window 4. 1150 motherboard I will be getting ATX size 5. I want to liquid cool the CPU and then...

It will be 1150 motherboard, probably Z97 (that's Z chipset right?) MSI Z97 is the one that's at front at the moment. There are a few variations and would want to get the best reviewed of the ones that have the 2x 16 option I talking about. BUT I discover that you can't SLI 2 of the graphics...

Damn, that's frustrating. Any idea why? Usually they have that SLI option for at least 2 as some people go bananas and have 3-4 :P

I might decide to get 2 graphics cards and so when deciding on motherboard I look at the PCI expansion slots section, bandwidths and the rest of it. Don't know exactly what it all means, I just know that I want 2x 16. This is what one motherboard says 3 x PCI (32 bit) 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 2 x PCIe...

Reason I asking is because I am planning on building a new budget PC for myself. I have decided on Intel 1150 motherboard as the price is decent, so I need to think of which graphics card/s go best with it. I do want it to run at decent speed but it doesn't have to be crazy overclocked. That's...
