    You know the screen is not 4k right?

    how come the apu's in ps4 and xbox1 are using more cores for games than the pc port does?

    As long as mainstream gaming PC is 4 cores machine I don't expect utilization go beyond 4 cores (except exceptions confirming the rule ;-) ). But with new API you can expect better/balanced usage of those 4 coming.

    Is it alright to my computer on a chair mat that is on the carpet?

    Actually not, this case is designed to have positive air pressure and all intakes have easily cleanable filters (you just pull it out or open the front door). I have r3 version of this on floor and just need to clean the filters once in 2-3 months, the inside is clean. It's quite big and heavy...

    What does it take for a game to be 'CPU intensive'?

    When coding a game, there are many tasks that can be done both on CPU and GPU. Even on purely graphics. Deciding how much each game/engine takes on specific component is an architectural step. Since all the resources are limited, you need to decide as an architect what runs where... So let's say...

    PC shuts down itself after 5-6 days

    I would bet this either on PSU or motherboard then, more likely PSU. But I am far from being sure about it... You have installed motherboard drivers right?

    PC shuts down itself after 5-6 days

    Have you checked Windows Event Log for any errors? But ths sounds more like if you had an application that is shutting it down (usual with downloaders and other long time running tools - video encoding etc.) Do you perform anything specific when it shuts down? Can you see it shutting down (ie...

    stock on 59 fps. gta v

    You are hitting maximum of what your screen is capable of. If you have lag issues with v-sync (strongly doubt it), you can try forcing tripple buffer either in game (if GTA V supports it) or in graphic card settings (if available). V-Sync with tripple buffer should eliminate the lag. One way or...

    DDR matching a necessary?

    Your DDR4 ram on motherboard and GDDR5 on the graphic card are separate worlds, there is no matching at all between those two. You only need to have matching kits for your main RAM (on motherboard).

    Router recommendations QoS/Gaming settings

    Similar to Faux_Grey, I've been having issues with cheapo home solutions, had SMC, Asus, Dlink and one or two others. Always some issues - restarts, needs to run from UPS to keep stable, wifi signal unstable, overheating etc. etc... Then I finally lost patience and bought a Cisco. It's... 5...

    PC Restarting Constantly

    It's really long time, but I vaguely remember at some point I had to remove RAM sticks from a computer to install windows, then mobo/chipset drivers and then stick the RAM sticks back in. You can try it - remove all but one stick and try it. Do the same with all disks except installation one as...

    32Bit (x64) or 64Bit (x86)

    If you only have 4GB of RAM (or less), then you don't need 64bit OS. Otherwise 32bit OS cannot address more than 4GB of RAM and locks you to roughly 3.7GB. Plus you lose support of plenty of 64bit instruction set extensions, but the small RAM issue will hurt your performance way more. As for...
