I write this while sitting at home during a thunderstorm. I've got a gaming PC that I built myself in my room currently upgrading to windows 10 (plugged into a surge protector), and it has just occurred to me that I may lose power. What would happen if I did... I cant imagine it would be good...

Thanks for the answer but what does the yellow line mean on the msi afterburner graph, should I be concerned?

I've got an EVGA GTX 970 FTW+ and I'm totally new to overclocking. I watched a couple tutorials and learned a bit, and decided to give it a try. I'm not looking for anything crazy just a little extra performance so I turned up my fan speed a bit, and set the core frequency setting in msi...

I understand I can just order a super long cord, but for tonight and until it gets here, is there a solution to my problem or should I just cary the thing downstairs. Its a full ATX size so its kind of a pain

I should just say that I'm a total networking novice, I have no experience with this stuff so please forgive me for asking stupid questions. I just built a PC and I'm disappointed to find out I need a pci-e network card to connect to wifi, my only option right now is to take it and my monitor...

Thanks guys, very helpful.

NCIX tech tips made a pretty good video explaining how to format a thumb drive so that a pc can instal windows off of it. I was just going to do that. The OS i'm going to use is 8.1, and I'm just going to use the product key from the one inside of the CD case I ordered off of newegg along with...

I'm building my first PC in a couple of days and I'm completely new to all of this. I'll be installing it off of a USB drive, but as far as the installation process itself goes, as well as drivers and all that I'm a little confused and overwhelmed. Can anybody link me to some tutorials or videos...

Those both look like excellent options that fit my budget, I'll look at both of them. Thanks for the help guys!

The first option. Just something to run the one card now, and i'll be upgrading it when i buy a second card in a few months. Probably around next summer before I go to college.

I'm looking for something more temporary and inexpensive. Under $100 would be ideal. Again i'll be upgrading it to a higher end one in a few months.

Building a computer soon with an i5 4690k and a gtx 970. I'm looking for a reliable psu that won't break the bank. I'm looking to add a second graphics card down the road so I'll be upgrading it when I do that anyway. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Looking for a 24", 1080p monitor with a quick response time, high refresh rate, and gsync. These two seem to be the best options that won't break the bank. If anyone would offer up some thoughts as to which is better I'd really appreciate it. Link for the AOC monitor...

I'm just about finished planning a new gaming pc build, and I was going to go with the 4690k because as we all know it's a pretty good cpu for gaming. I'm not gonna be doing any streaming or rendering or content creation, this pc is mainly just for games. I was wondering though if there were any...
