SInce recent windows 10 update I keep getting a low local disk space warning about every 10 mins for a drive F that shows only 38mb free of 499mb and when I click on it it shows empty. I belevie its a recovery partition? but I'm not sure how to stop getting the low disk warning.

GR wastelands is 1 of the worst graphic games I've come across in a long time. I wouldn't build a system based on this 1 games benchmark. All the games I play OW, Titanfall 2, Gears 4, H.O.T.S., Shadows Mordor, all of them I'm running settings high or higher w my 390 (@ the same as a 970) at...

Yes the AMD a10 has the equivlent of a r7 250 gpu built in, you just need to share a couple gb of memory through the bios to make it @ the same as a stand alone gpu. That being said, don't waste your money on the AMD side cpu's unless your waiting for the new Ryzen. I just this week swapped out...

Your FX is choking your 970 already on a lot of games and will get worse, yet with an I5 or higher, your 970 will be fine at higher settings for awhile longer (and when u upgrade to say a 1070/1080 a I5 or I7 will still be plenty). I just ditched FX and found out how badly I was choking my R9...

Agree w Blackbird, you've hit the end of the talent tree for a AMD cpu. Just go intel. You can get some deals right now on the I5 6600k cpus and Z170 mobo's since the 7th gen Intel's just came out (with very small increases in performance) I just kicked my amd cpu to the curb last month and...

No need for the I7, especially with a 1060 gpu, not gona see any real fps increase until u get to a 1070/1080 gpu, and even then the returns in fps increase are small, especially if your only running a 1080 60ghz monitor. I'm running a R9 390 gpu w a I5 6600k on a asus z-170 AR mobo and I';m...

Don't bother with a the AMD FX cpu's or there mother boards, complete dead end socket/chipset. There is NO upgrade tree down this line and your already alil under powered. Unless you want to wait a couple months till the new AMD Ryzen cpu series hits the shelves, just go intel, prolly something...

I built my own couple times from microcenter and 1 my 1st setups, the mobo came dead on arrival, I took the pc back apart (annoying) and exchanged the mobo. If you can't even get the bios to fire up, it has to be the mobo, as to what caused it, who knows but once something is "blown" in a mobo...

Not much info to go on but best guess is maybe during the build you lost a screw or somme other metal piece, and it may have touched something on the back of the mobo while power running though it, can short out a bucnh of stuff. Usullly if the sytem fires up and runs, it doens't just stop the...

I'm an avid gamer who always wants to play the newest games at high/ultra settings with atleast 60 fps (upgrading monitor in few months also so maybe even 100fps). Leaving the AMD cpu finally since it's bottlenecking my Asus R9 390 pretty bad. I live near Microcenter and they have some killer...

I bought a Asus Strix R9 390 w 8gb Vram in jan 16. I've been happy with it so far. I'm looking to build up to a VR heavy machine as well as 1440p gaming w high fps. Would I be better off hoping right to a 1070 or 1080 gpu and just selling my r9, or is there some sense and value in getting...

There are definetly settings that are cpu dependent. For example I play alot of Hero's of the Storm and in there graphical settings, which consist of maybe 8 choices, there are 2 or 3 that say rely's on your cpu. Now of courser those couple are 1's I'll adjust but Gears has many individual...

I'm running a AMD A10 7850k CPU oc'd to 4.4 stable and a Asus Strix R9 390 w 8gb Vram (8gb ddr3 2300 ram) and I know my buddy who has same exact GPU but an I5 6600k CPU gets better fps on games such as Dying light and Paragon. So my question is with a game like gears war 4 having tons of...
