    CPU too Hot while Gaming

    ^Thank you. I’ll definitely take a look. I was told that cases with two fans at the back are better at cooling then one fan. If so, how come most of the recommended cases only have one fan at the back. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-pc-cases,4183.html

    RTX 2070 or GTX 1080?

    Hi Everyone, I have a tough decision to make. The GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 is selling for CAD599 (which is a great price I believe.) Or should I wait for the RTX 2070? The RTX 2070 would probably be more expensive than CAD599 when it comes out, but is it much faster than the GTX 1080?
