I am looking for an internal hard drive to use in my Media PC. I am only going to use it to store and play 1080p movies. I'd like a capacity from 500gb to 1tb. I was looking at this HDD but I'm not sure...

I have a Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 Motherboard, AMD 7970 GPU, Avexir Core 8GB RAM and CX600 PSU. I am wondering if I should overclock my CPU, it's at 3.5GHZ at the moment. I basically want to improve my general using speed and improve gaming performance especially in Minecraft. I would also like to...

One of my DVI ports uses a simple DVI to VGA adapter but the other one which physically is the same (four pins and the left side) doesn't work with the same adapter

I always thought that DVI-D meant that I could use two monitors from that single port

Okay. I'm going to aim to describe this in a way people understand. I have an Asus AMD 7970. It has six ports 4 DisplayPorts, 1 DVI-I and 1 DVI-D. I want to use one DVI-I to VGA for my main 1080p monitor. I then want to use a DVI-D to 2x DVI-I for two other monitors. The other monitors are VGA...

I have got an Asus AMD 7970 GPU which is more than capable of handling Minecraft at 60fps+ but its only does 20-30. I'm not entirely sure what it is but I have an idea it could be, Minecraft/Java uses on board graphics instead of GPU, AMD drivers don't play nice with Java or I am seriously...

Okay I have done some testing on various other games, and I am able to max out and still not drop below 60fps so it seems Durinsday23 is right, Minecraft is the problem however Minecraft is my most played games so I am going to have a look at some solutions for that but thank you Durinsday23

Yes I agree you really need a better PSU. I would recommend a Corsair one I always find them reliable. You could also get an SSD for improved performance.

Just checked in performance monitor and the CPU usage is higher when playing minecraft it is a maximum of 90% but not all the time that's just when entering a server or loading a world. It has a average of 45%. So it is bottlenecking but I wouldn't expect 30-40fps

Just getting a system monitor to see. Even if the Clock Speed is the problem it shouldn't be causing me to be getting 30fps on Minecraft should it?

I recently purchased and installed an Asus AMD 7970 Direct CUII graphics card and I am not getting the performance I expected. I'm getting like 30-40fps on minecraft with low-mid settings. This is not what I was wanting and I am wondering whether it is a software problem or am I bottle necking...
