    Computer Upgrade with about $200-$400

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883155727 I have a Dell Inspiron 660. I added a Samsung Pro SSD 120GB and a GeForce GTX 650 awhile back. I'm using two separate PSUs (one for GPU) just fine as I don't OC (can't with this rig). 3GZ I5 3330 btw. I'm running dual monitors, but...

    External Harddrive Failure, Can I recover my files?

    I got an "Unable to Open Drive" error from Recuva. I'd really hate to take the drive itself out of the casing. Actually, it really isn't an option to be honest. I just hope I'll be able to recover the files. Hopefully something will be discovered. Thanks so far.

    External Harddrive Failure, Can I recover my files?

    I have a Seagate 500GB External HDD that will light up when plugged in, but it will not allow me to view any of the files on it. When trying to tinker with settings it says to reformat. Well, I don't mind reformatting it as long as I have the files back. My OS is Windows 8 but I have tried it on...

    Should I get a new GPU or CPU?

    I may throw some money into upgrading my PSU. Is the difference between the GTX 760 and 770 that large? Also, what about the 770 and the new 750Ti? I'm just trying to get a good rig set up.

    Old monitor dead or is it just the PSU?

    My old monitor that I would like to use as a secondary monitor "died" the other day after I unplugged and moved my setup (coincidence, maybe) and once plugged back in it would not power on at all. I tried multiple ports on my computer and multiple wall ports that are not on the same line. The...

    From HDD to SDD, Can I just copy System files?

    Well, I figured that the system files could not be copied alone but the main problem is me not having any way of reinstalling. Migration is an option but I'd prefer to have my boot-disk to be cleared of anything but what I would consider useful on it. Clearing folder by folder just doesn't seem...

    From HDD to SDD, Can I just copy System files?

    Running an Inspiron 660 with a 1TB HDD and upgrading to a 128GB Samsung 840 Pro. I have used this computer quite frequently for gaming and editing for over a year and would like to wipe the HDD BUT unfortunately the computer came with no Windows 8 re-install disk—just drivers. Is there any way...
