Hi all, I've recently built a new pc, but I'm just worrying about the IO shield. I fitted the motherboard in and it wouldn't go any further into the IO shield. Most of the prongs fitted inwards just fine, whilst 2 did not ( one of the ports I won't use anyway). I had to bend back the prong...

Hi everyone, I've got this build sorted,confident about building for the first time, fits my budget nicely, and have already received the PSU. Just wanted to run this by you folks one last time. I MAY have to update the bios for the motherboard, it depends on when it was made. Is that...

Hi all, Just wondering whether the motherboard I've selected in this build is suitable/compatible? I'm only concerned because at the bottom of this link, it says: "Some Intel H81 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Haswell Refresh CPUs." I'm new to pc building, so I...

Hi everyone, Wanted to get opinions on the cpu cooler for this build. I've heard that it's a big fan, so I'm wondering if it'll be too big for the case, or obstruct the RAM. Will it also work well with the motherboard? http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/j3vvrH Is there another fan that would be...

Hi everyone, I've been on these forums for a while, asking about a custom made build but not made by myself. It was from a UK based company that makes them for you. However, I have chosen to cancel my order because I wish to build it myself. I want to use the same parts mostly, but at least...

Hi all, After being told that a 450 vs series PSU will be a terrible choice, I've decided to sell it when it arrives and buy a decent one. I'm heavily contemplating a Seasonic S12G-450 450W 80+ Gold Certified (tier 2 will be perfect), and have provided my specs below. This is my first ever pc...

I've purchased these parts, for my youtube channel and video editing- bear in mind I play 80% retro/indie titles so I'm not going overboard. However, I'd just like to know whether the following build can run the AAA titles at 30-40fps in 1080p (medium settings)? I know the gtx 950 can do this...

Hi all, Would like some opinions on what HDD would be best for this build. I've settled on a 250gb SSD for my main programs (I'm a freelance animator/3d modeller) but I'm a little confused about the HDD. The 1tb WD HDD is around £20-30 more than a Seagate 1TB HDD. I'll be using the HDD to store...
