Thanks, for feedback. I reckon I'll go with the R9 390 as it seems it is probably worth the extra cost if I am more or less building a new computer.

Hehe, yes I did Gman, I just loved it, and the way they used the music to slowly build up tension and urgency as it got louder.

Looks good to me, you've actually given me some ideas for my build. I was thinking of going for the i7-4790K but someone suggested it was overkill for gaming and I'll probably go with the an i5-4670K, by the sounds of it it has more room for overlocking even if it is slower. If money was no...

I recently got a 1440p screen and it is lovely, things look really nice and often all I need to do to get the same FPS as on my 1080p screen is turn the AA right down or off without touching any other settings. I find at that resolution I barely notice the lack of AA and it is well worth it for...

A lot of less powerful laptops find themselves overheating when playing Minecraft, just thought it was worth mentioning. This is first hand from friends and family so I can confirm it is still a problem.

I can't give much advice as I am the opposite, I haven't bought a pre-made computer in over 10 years but for those games I should think you can get a computer that can run them for $400 maybe. It seems a bit low price-wise but those games don't need a fancy graphics card (which you can easily...

It looks good to me, pretty great for £600 I reckon. I've not played COD but if you are playing at 1080p resolution CSGO should run fine on highest settings I should think, battlefield might be struggling on the highest settings but drop down one tier and you should be getting smoothly above 30...

Hehe, are you sure he wasn't playing a Werellama? I have thankfully not seen those sparkly films ;). That kind of tripe makes me wish for the alpaccalypse :D.

Glad I could offer some advice. I think 500W would be fine (checking your build on http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ will give you a rough guide to the wattage your build will draw) but I would personally go for a 600W PSU. It is worth investing in a good quality one from a reputable manufacturer...

Just got Payday 2 as it was on offer, wasn't expecting much as it had average official reviews but I always wondered about the high user reviews. Now I've played it with two friends I can say it is really fun. Lots of replayability and an impressively original concept for these times. At the...

Thanks, if only the internet could be that succinct :).

You are quite right, I am very much not on the pulse of the tech industry any more. I thought they had got their act together and actually used the same metrics for measuring GHz at last. I've heard of the 'turbo' mode. Isn't that practically just automated overclocking? Why don't they advertise...

As everyone else says PCSX/ePSXe and PCSX2 are good. To elaborate on what gamerk316 said about 20% of games will barely run or not at all, for the other 80% a lot of them might need some quite fiddly trial and error tweaking to get to work properly and can be very dependent on what hardware you...

I was reading the TH review of the Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core and it said a few features would only be available on a motherboard with the series 9 chipset. What exactly does that mean and how can I tell if a MB has is. Is the Z97 Express chipset series 9 for instance or is it more...

Thanks. That is a decent budget you put my into. My budget is somewhat flexible depending on the old 1440p requirement but I suppose I could go up to £600 or even a bit more if it would mean more enjoyable gaming at that resolution. The drop from 4.0GHz to 3.4 GHz is quite alarming. How...
