Haven't built a new rig in like 10 years and my old one is on its last leg so . . . . It's mostly for gaming. I play Blizz games like Overwatch and HoTS, I also still play Skyrim modded out, and I really want to pick up Cyberpunk once I get a new computer that can run it right, I always think...

Current system is about 9 years old and needs to be replaced. Probably going to start buying parts towards a new build. I currently run Overwatch, a couple of MOBAs, Sims; but plan to pick up Cyberpunk for PC eventually. I'm not super rich but want to get the best performance I can at a decent...

Kids got me playing minecraft with them again. I wont lie that I am a graphics snob to first thing to do is mod the game. For minecraft this includes installing Optifine which downloads as an executable .jar file. The problem is, even though I have Java installed, the download has that lifeless...

Looking at GPUs for new build, noticed about $80 difference, how big is the performance gap. Worth getting the 2070?

Wanting to use single SSD in my new gaming rig. I understand the why SSDs boot faster, but do not understand the difference between https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-blue-2tb/p/N82E16820250089 and https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-blue-2tb/p/N82E16820250093 Is one better than the...

Just starting to compile a parts list for potential new build. Last rig is getting old AF and starting to run slow and buggy. To get to the point, I am planning on using https://www.newegg.com/core-i9-9th-gen-intel-core-i9-9900k/p/N82E16819117957?&quicklink=true for CPU, if budget will not...

Right now looking to replace my desktop rig. Weighing out the pros and cons of building myself vs. buying pre-built from retailer. Having kids and the accidental coverage through a retailer is my dilema. After some research, I found that for equal hardware, I would save only around $50 building...

I am about to undergo a new build. Primarily a gaming rig. I still have my Window 7 keys but as you know, Win 7 is no longer supported. I have used Win 10 on other machines and absolutely hate it. Plus I have heard a lot about Win 10 actually slowing down the pc it is installed on. Any input...

Looking into replacing current gaming rig as old one is getting well . . . .old. One choice is to do a 1TB SSD boot with 1TB hdd storage vs 2TB SSD stand alone. It is about a $90 price difference. If I am primarily using the machine for gaming, which is the better route to go? I have until...

As a person who has built their last three desktop computers this is going to sound very sad, but it has come time to replace both mine and my wife's desktop gaming rig. The thing is, i have two children that are now at a prime age to be on the computer all the time and children and accidents go...

You obviously haven't done retail in a while. Almost all electronics allow you to by accidental coverage. At that point you can pretty much dump a cup of coffee into it and they will replace it.

Any recommendations on a cpu upgrade that will not break the bank>?

Noticed lately in gaming, especially in WoW, I have rendering delay and some slight glitching when entering new zones. Flying with the white textureless mountains and missing npcs and such. Maximus V Formula Mobo (Asus) 2nd Gen i5-2500 CPU Radeon RX 580 GPU 16 GB RAM 1TB HDD 650W Corsair Power...
