Okay so I did all the checks and it turned out the SSD was dead out of the box and the HDD was fine. I think the issue was the PSU shorted which is weird because it should have been able to handle the addition of an SSD!😂 but thanks, new PSU in and all working fine. New SSD ordered too

Okay amazing, I’ll do both of those tomorrow and come back to let you know. Cheers guys <3

No it doesn’t, I’m worried it’s completely dead but I barely touched it!

Hi! I just bought my brother a new SSD for his pc and when I tried to plug it in and initialise it, it wouldn’t show up on the bios. So I unplugged his HDD with his games on it to try and use the hot swap bit that was in. That didn’t work either. I plugged the HDD back in and now it doesn’t...

so out of the new z270 asus strix 1151 models, which is best suited? they arent as straight forward as msi (gaming m3, 5, 7) since it goes from e-h. Which is the better mobo? i was looking at this one...

Quite a few since the 1050ti is 2 generations above the 750ti whereas the i3 and i5 are part of the same generation, only difference is the cpu power itself. Most games rely on a steady balance but having a newer gpu will increase performance everywhere. Maybe wait and see how much a 7th gen i3...

Hello, I was just wondering which ATX Asus ROG z270 motherboard is the best. I was going to get the MSI Gaming m3 to go with my gpu...any reason i should go with msi instead of Asus? But back to the main question, they have a slighlty confusing order for asus products. so theres the z270E, F, G...

I know that this has been asked so many times but I wanted to ask for myself. I mean, everything I've seen has been so mixed and it made me want to get some more opinions. My current PC specs are: I5 4460 XFX DD R9 270 (2Gb) 8Gb 1600 MHz Ram 500W Corsair PSU 1Tb HDD I intend to upgrade to a...

Well I already have my MOBO so I won't be getting a skylake chip any time soon so I think I'll get the I5 4690k and then maybe change my GPU later so I'll be able to OC more efficiently. Then when I have more money I'll get a newer system. For some context, I'm 17 years old and have a weekend...

Well I kinda wanna finish my PC this year so I don't think I'll be waiting for the new one to drop. Maybe just get the non K since it's cheaper and then upgrade in a year or something? Would that be a good idea?

Yeah, I said I have a R9 270 and I knew that but what's the life span of a cpu?

Right, I have a R9 270 and I was thinking whether to get the i5 4690k or the non-k version since I won't be oc'ing at this time because it won't make a difference because my gpu isn't powerful enough. I'm not getting a new gpu since I just bought this one and don't have the money to get another...

Thanks so much for your answer, it's the most straight forward one and tbh the only one that truly answered my question. I think the aria one is before the p&p but thanks. I'll definitely get the K if the price stays the same and get a better gpu down the line. I'm also looking at watercooling...

So what should I do? Get the 4690k and upgrade my gpu later? How long will the i5 last before it needs an upgrade because I'd rather get the K now and spend £250 on a gtx 970 later than spend £430 on a i5 4690k and the 970
