Ok so here is my situation and plan. My current build is 5-6 years old and needs to be beefed up. I don't have a whole ton to spend, but I bought a new GPU ( Zotac1660 6GB) and a new motherboard, along with some DDR4 RAM. The only reason I needed a new mother board is because mine is pathetic...

I guess my next question would be, do you think the i5 will bottleneck a Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB Video Card which is one step down from my 1060ti

Well after 5 years since my last upgrade I think it is time to bite the bullet and do a fairly large upgrade this time around, please tell me what you think of my build and what/ if I should change anything (I have just about $700 to spend maximum on this new build/ major upgrade). I plan to...

@Metal Messiah. I have no clue to be honest, but if you look up Austin Evans original Photon build it is that exact unit. Also since this is his first pc he will be content with the power for at least a year or 2. At which point he can buy a new PSU and GPU if he so pleases. This one is free...

This will be the first time I upgrade my computer and I have bought a separate SSD for windows only. I also have a 1 TB HDD everything is currently stored on like, games, pictures, you get the point. Basically my question is if I install windows on the SSD is there any way for me to remove...

I just got GTA V on my photon build from Austin Evans. Using SpeedFan my temperatures usually get around 64 to 66 degrees... I am not sure what temperatures I should have, but it sounds like my computer works very hard while running the game....
