    Is a 550W PSU good for a GTX 1070?

    I just want to make sure that this will be good: Antec 550W Active PFC Modular 80+ Gold EDG550 PSU CPU will be a intel i7 6700k and GPU will be MSI GTX 1070 ARMOR (uses same power as the founders edition, and same pin connector) Thank you.

    1 SSD & 1 HDD, RAID 1 or not and why?

    Looks like there is no point in thinking about any of this since I will only have 1 SSD.

    1 SSD & 1 HDD, RAID 1 or not and why?

    I looked up about this but I'm not sure what would be best for just 1 SSD and 1 HDD. I think RAID 0 is out of the question because I don't want to lose all the data in both the SSD and the HDD in case one fails. What benefits do I get, if any, by having 1 SSD & 1 HDD in RAID 1 (with a...

    3200 Mhz DDR4 RAM compatible with i7 6700K?

    The local store near builds a computer for free when you buy it and I was wondering if it's a good idea to buy a intel i7 6700K with 3200 Mhz DDR4 RAM because intel's website shows that the 6700K only supports up to 2133 Mhz. The difference in price is like $20 between 2133 Mhz and 3200 Mhz but...

    Upgrade for 660: 960, 970 or Pascal?

    I don't know what kind of games you're playing but performance : price ratio, the 970 is the last worthy one IMO. What I mean by this is: 970 shows an increase of tens of FPS compared to its little brother the 960. 980, however, is only around 10 FPS an increase over 970. This is comparing stock...

    EVGA 970 SSC or FTW(not "FTW+")?

    The difference in price over here is just $5 but in a video I heard that they made a FTW+ because there were some issues with the FTW so I don't know if I should just get the SSC. What do you think is better and why?

    Is this 650W good enough for R9 390+i7 6700K?

    intel i7 6700K with MSI R9 390 GAMING 8G is the Antec 650W Active PFC Modular 80+ Gold EDG650 PSU good enough? Not planning to OC. I read somewhere that AMD recommended 750w minimum but I can't find that on the AMD website.
