Hi everyone Trying to build a PC for my wife without breaking the bank. White themed. We play BF2042, Diablo 4, WoW and POE 2. She'll be using my old 1440p 144hz monitor and does enjoy the smooth gameplay on a 144hz monitor. Will this be enough to sustain those games at 120-144hz on Ultra/High...

Hi everyone, I'm after a low cost, low power consumption build that can remain on almost 24/7. Needs to be able to act as a plex server direct streaming over local network. It also needs to be able to perform basic tasks like torrenting 24/7. It'll be hooked up via ethernet to modem. Hopefully...

Hi, looking to get this build ordered within the week depending on feedback. Please let me know if you'd suggest otherwise, budget doesn't matter. I live in a very hot climate where air cooling just isn't enough. Case: Corsair Full ATX Obsidian 750D PSU: 850 Watt Antec HCG-850M RAM:16GB DDR4...

Hello and thank you for your help, Pics at the bottom. I recently had a spare ram kit 2x4GB DDR3 1600mhz CL9 G.Skill Ripjaws 1.5V. My girlfriends rig has identical ram which is corsair vengeance branded 2x4GB DDR3 1600mhz CL9 1.5V. Her motherboard is an Asus z87-pro and cpu is i5-4670 which...

Hi guys sorry if this is in the wrong place, I've never had any problems with my computer until recently, the problem seems to be intermittent. When I power it on it will always post, but sometimes shutdown a second after the windows logo appears. About a month ago I used my motherboards oc...

Thanks everyone, nice suggestions would like to pick them all as the best answer. Don't think he'd know how to overclock the cpu but might be worth a few more dollars to have it run better and give the option. He can add more ram if he runs into issues I guess. As for hdd he insists on...

Hi this is a build for my brother, he won't be overclocking and wants a reliable system that he can eventually put another gtx 980 in sli. Will only be used for gaming. Need confirmation for the components whether overkill or not good enough. Although don't mind paying a premium for quality...

Found out why its happening, windows 7 doesn't like display port much. If monitor power is switched off, windows 7 will disconnect it from the computer(essentially the same as unplugging the monitor and cable to gpu) Resulting in slow to turn back on and display driver errors. (also why...

To try give you guys more information ive noticed i can instantly cause the error to appear simply by powering off the monitor. Example: I switch the monitor off. turn it back on after 3 seconds and BAM : Nvidia display driver has stopped working

Hi everyone I'm getting a nvidia display driver error. This never happens while gaming, ever. All power settings individually checked to never sleep etc. Screensaver is also set to none. This did not happen in windows 8 but i've reverted to windows 7 because of issues with my logitech g930. The...

Hi everyone would love your professional advice before i commit to buying this custom pc. Simply put i need it to be an excellent gaming machine that can run games like battlefield 4 on ultra settings without sweating :P Im torn between s2011 cpu and motherboards, is s1150 still good? Will the...

hi thanks very much axlfone, ive updated the build a lot if everyone could give their input thanks.

**updated the build drastically Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a new pc very soon. Its job will be to play games like battlefield 4 on ultra settings @ 1080p (with possible 1440p in future) while not dropping close to 60 fps. Budget isn't really an issue but i'd like a machine that will one day...

thank you all very much will help me decide :) and I might wait a month and see what happens.
