Hi, It's quite hard to explain this problem but i'll give it a try! I've got a Gigabyte r9 290 and have installed the latest drivers for it. I use the PC on my 42" HDTV and in catalyst it automatically sets the resolution to 1920x1080p - I have noticed that the screen doesn't seem sharp, is...

Brilliant, thanks!

As the titles says, most I have found are from years ago and are somewhat outdated. This is my first build and whilst I'm comfortable doing it, I would like some guidance (no prior experience with Bios at all). Thanks

I'll have a look at that case, cheers

I have a budget of between £700 - £800 for a build. The rig will be for the living room and will mainly be used to game and watch films. I would like something discreet but powerful, a Steam Machine type. Preferably I'd like an i5-4670 and a R9 280X. Could I save money by using a SSHD instead...
