PC Specs: i7 2700k GTX 680 2GB 1250W PSU 16GB Ram I want to upgrade my graphics, and hopefully avoid a big cost as well as a big bottleneck. Question 1: Would a gtx 680 2GB SLI setup be able to run newer games like the Witcher 3 on relatively high settings at 1920x1080 resolution? Note: It is...

That's the first video I looked at yeah, I don't think replacing the whole keyboard would be too difficult but the cord itself I have no clue. :/ Obviously a cord is cheaper than a keyboard. I got a good deal on this laptop but at this rate I will be paying just as much if not more than I would...

I didn't personally look at it I sent it in to a local computer place here because I have never dealt with a laptop before and don't really have the tools atm to do it myself. By the sounds of it it is pretty badly twisted and I am not sure it could be fixed, and I have personally never soldered...

I purchased a refurbished Asus G75VW and all was fine except for the keyboard, the led lights never worked and due to insufficient time I couldn't investigate whether it was a driver or hardware related issue for quite some time. I have now isolated the problem to hardware, but by now I am...

There is no blinking at all, just black. I see the blinking _ when it does decide to boot into windows, but no, just black. It is up to date, the people at the store updated the bios.. So this doesn't make much sense to me. PS: Not sure if having an external drive has messed up anything, but it...

Well my new build worked fine and I bought it from a custom computer place in town that do very good work. I would prefer to fix this myself and not go there. This is the problem, occasionally when I start my computer, I will see the motherboard screen, then it will just go black and stay there...

Alright thanks for the help guys. I will definitely do this very soon.. and here's a bonus question.. xP who makes the best solid state drives?

Sweet, and one last question, is this worth the extra money? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131463

Any difference for my needs between quad and dual channel memory? Just curious.. Alright this upgrade is under $1200 considering I can reuse my case, my PSU, my HDD, etc. Comp specs will be: Motherboard: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3...

Alright this is what I am thinking now.. CPU- 2500k or 2600k GPU- An AMD 7970 (which company is best to buy from, XFX, MSI?) RAM- CORSAIR DOMINATOR 8GB 1600MHZ (Almost might as well get 16GB for $30 more) Mobo- ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 Cooler- Whatever air cooler I can find until I decide to OC...

also, for gaming is it necessary to get 2400MHZ ram or will 1600 be sufficient? What will those speeds affect for me? Anything? I am now maybe thinking a 2600k, looks like an alright cpum and will a 6 core processor even offer me performance boosts in games compared to 4?

I will most likely get the intel water cooler designed for it (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1554275&CatId=1871), and budget? None specific but I want to build a cheap gaming computer, that has some room to overclock if I choose to do that. All I do is...

I am planning to upgrade my computer, and install the parts myself into my current computer. These are the components, I am just curious if they are good choices and will work well together.. Motherboard: ASRock X79 Extreme4 (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157282) CPU...
