Just got a grant from my school to build a racing simulator. As of right now, we've decided on using 3 27" 1080p 60hz displays. So we need a system that can power this. But the system should also be able to do VR (to be honest, I don't really know much about what you need for VR). It needs...

This is completely out of curiosity. I was wondering which ~$430 cpu gpu combo would perform better in gaming (both 1080p and 1440p), assuming everything else in the builds are the same Also, if you were forced to use one in your gaming rig, which would it be Pentium g4560 + gtx 1070...

It looks good. I would recommend 16 gb of ram though, as you might encounter some issues with only 8. Something from g skill, crucial, or corsair should do. Also, I don't know how tight your budget is, but a bump from 120 gb to 240 gb would give you a lot more flexibility in the long run. It...

I just finished putting a desktop together and I've found that the stock intel fan is very audible. With my g4560 idling at around 25 degrees, the fan is at 1200rpm. Am I doing something wrong or is the stock fan just loud? It's been years since I've worked with stock intel fans, but I still...

I just built a new desktop with a pentium g4560. I installed windows 10 on a 240gb adata ssd and then went on to install intel grapjics drivers through their automatic install tool. However, the installation always froze up after a few minutes. the resolution would bump up to 1080p and all...

I'm looking to put together a desktop that I'll be using relatively light tasks(word processing, movie watching, video streaming, etc.) I really want something fast and quiet (really quiet). Something that I can boot up in a few seconds and get right into things. I decided to go with a nvidia...

I'm looking for a relatively cheap membrane keyboard with illumination. However, I don't want it to be all gaming oriented. I just want something simple with illumination. My friend has this keyboard...

You're overpaying for the motherboard. I'd go with the 4gb rx 480( the memory won't be the bottleneck), 16gb or ram, an ssd, and a better power supply. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bRk8yf PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bRk8yf Price breakdown by merchant...

Just recently I sold my gaming desktop for $600 on eBay. The thing served me well for the past 2 years. It had an big old r9 290, 16 gb ram, i5-4690, and a toshiba 2tb hard drive. I started to lose interest in gaming these past couple of months so I didn't really need the i5 and the r9 290...

If you were to choose to get an rx 480 I would get the xfx model, as it has quick swap fans and the company has a better reputation in general. However, the R9 fury you found for $260 is a steal. I would definitely go for the Fury at that price. For reference, an RX 480 is similar in...

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/n8Nxbj PSU isn't the best; I swapped it out for a seasonic unit. The Cryborig H7 is a much better cooler, as it's more silent and better for airflow in your case. I upgraded to 16 gb of memory. I added a 275gb m.2 ssd that will make your system a lot faster. I...

How about both? I have this monitor and it's fast at 2ms with excellent color response. This RX 480 from MSI is super quite and is more than you'll ever need for 1080p...
