Okay, thank you very much again for the help! Appreciate it!

I looked into it and besides most places having it out of stock from what I could tell, it would seem the cost of a new 970 PRO is almost the same or even more expensive than the cost of a Pro 980 or 990 so I might as well go with the newest versions. Also I try not to buy previously used...

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I know I won't get the full PCie 4.0 effect but that's fine as long as it doesn't damage/overheat my older computer/motherboard. Now I just need to know if there's cheaper but reliable alternatives or if I have to shell out around $500 more or so for the Samsung...

Hi, I am in the process of buying components for a new computer in the next two weeks and I would also like to replace the SSD and HDD of my older computer's with two new SSD drives. This is the setup of my old computer: CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K (No Overlocking, SLI or Crossfire. Turbo only)...

Okay, first off, thank youvery much for the quick replies. First I'll follow the suggested format with the new information I've learned here and from searching the internet before replying to individual questions: Approximate Purchase Date: In the next two weeks hopefully. Budget Range: Up...

Greetings! Since Black Friday is approaching, I've been researching and planning on buying components to build a new computer that will serve me well for at least the next five years or so while moving my older i7-9700K downstairs to my den for gaming. Here are my questions: CPU: Intel Core...

Sorry about that, preferably around $500, unless that amount would only get me crappy laptops that wouldn't suit my needs. I'm hoping I wouldn't need a laptop that costs more than that if I'm not using them for gaming.

Hi, I would like to bring my gaming desktop downstairs to better enjoy on my HDTV so I'm looking for opinions on what's the best yet cheapest PC Windows laptop you can get for internet browsing, watching videos on Youtube and the like, chatting on mIRC and Facebook as well as word processing on...

Okay, thank you very much!

Greetings, I have a old i3 540 that I use to play some of my games and I wondered if it was possible to replace the CPU Processor with something faster and more powerful that wouldn't overload a Gateway SX2850 Motherboard as I'd rather avoid the expense of having to replace that, reinstall...

OK, I was ready to go with the RX 590 then but then I talked to my computer guy and he seems to think the RX 590 is obsolete and for my high end CPU, I should get a better GPU. Now I would have no problem getting an Nvidia GPU (I'm using a GTX 960 right now) except for the Free-Sync problem. I...

Hi, I was originally planning on getting a Sapphire Radeon Nitro+ RX 580 8GB GPU for my new computer and I initially rejected the RX 590 8GB model because it used more wattage and the performance increase wasn't worth the extra money for me. However, when I checked Amazon.ca and similar sites...

OK, cool. I'll probably go with the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro then since I don't ever plan to overclock or use multiple graphics cards as well as the Patriot Viper DDR4 Dram 3200MHz 16GB Kit for Ram. Thanks again for your help!

Greetings, I'm going to be upgrading my computer in the near future and I wondered if I could get a recommendation for which Motherboard would be best/ideal for my current planned setup: Monitor - LG 24MK600M-B Monitor (1080p, IPS Panel, 75Hz Refresh Rate, 5 ms (gtg) Response Time) [Already...

Hi, I've had a 19' CRT Samsung SyncMaster 955DF for the past 20 years now and I'm about ready to upgrade to something more modern. Specifically this monitor...
