Yeah I am in the UK, and I have a £20 voucher for a place that advertises a £27 Cashback from MSI aswell making it around £80 for a seemingly high end 850W PSU which is what is tempting me. Especially when comparable PSUs don’t go below £120 atm here. Would this justify biting the bullet? If...

I have a voucher for a retailer selling the new MSI MPG A850GF 850W power supply, making it a fair bit cheaper than some other PSU's that are highly regarded such as Corsair RM850. However I can't find any reviews on it and I know power supplies are items you dont want to cheap out on when it...

I actually have a 212 EVO but no bracket for AM4 and cant seem to find one. Kept my i5 4670K under 70 degrees at 4.5GHz for these past few years and apparently the black edition is better so had no problem buying it again. I guess I can give a little slack on the budget if you think it's...

What would you suggest instead at that price range?

Planning on getting a new CPU cooler to match my upgrade to either a 5600 or 5600x in the near future. The A500 is on sale atm and I can get it for ~£35 which is the same price amazon is selling the hyper 212 black edition. I heard that the A500 isnt great at its usually price range, but at...

Upgrading my rig from 7 years ago soon, hopefully to a Ryzen 5000 series CPU coming from my i5 4670k. I don't know if AMD will include a cooler with their new cpus but my current cooler is a Hyper 212 Evo that is still giving me pretty good temps to this day so was thinking of just re-using it...

OK thank you, think 850W will be much better suited to my needs then.

I don't think I will be going as extreme as a shunt mod, mainly overclocking as far as I can get using software like MSI Afterburner. So far only planning on air cooling but not ruling out custom water cooling in the future. Would an 850W PSU cover this if i decide to custom water cool?

What would be considered "extreme" overclocking? I am planning to overclock the GPU and CPU somewhat, however I'm not planning on watercooling or anything more.

Planning on upgrading my rig completely relatively soon (depending on stock) to hopefully a ryzen 5600x and either rtx 3000 series or AMD 6000 series GPU and have realised my 600W power supply won't be enough even if it wasn't 7 years old. As supply is likely not to be getting better any time...

Thanks for the reply, I decide to go for a 2.0 setup for now and hoping to add a sub later. I actually ended up buying those exact Edifier speakers you sent. I know that these don't have sub out, would this be an issue when adding a sub to this system if my PC itself has a Sub output instead?

I already have a pair of headphones, was just thinking of getting some speakers so I don't have to wear them all the time. The noise isn't that big of a deal was just asking in case the Z623's sub is so strong you'd heard it through multiple floors. Upon more research I think the 623's sub is a...

Looking to upgrade my unknown brand hand-me-down speakers on my desktop set-up for watching movies and a few games. Looking around I can get the Z333 for ~£50 and the Z337 for ~£75. The only difference I can make out between these two is the bluetooth which I personally would pay extra to not...

Decided to have a go at overclocking my gtx780, trying to squeeze a little performance out of it whilst waiting for new GPUs at the end of this year. I hadn't considered overclocking the card before so never really looked at temps when i bought it around 7 years ago but looking at it now, even...

I have already downloaded and installed the driver only files. What I meant to say is that whenever I uninstall the current driver and restart my pc or press "scan for hardware changes" it just reappears in my device list, without me even needing to reinstall the new driver. I downloaded...
