[/quotemsg] http://www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-2095538/spdif-optical-support.html So some 5.1 streams can pass through. [/quotemsg] Riiiight, so as it's set up now, it's effectively stereo- right? If so, if I got a 5.1 sound card, would the Sony DAV-S800 work ok with it?

Hi, I've got an old 5.1 system lying about, a Sony DAV-S800. I figured I'd give it a go with my MSI H170 Gaming M3 motherboard's optical output. When I test the Dolby Digital in Realtek Digital Output Properties in Windows, all speakers test and play independently. I'm trying to get it to...

Great, I think I'll go for the 6870, with a decent value power supply from the recommended list on AMD's website. Another thread on here only recommended the 2Gb version on a multi- screen setup, makes sense, so the 6870 1Gb should do me fine One more question before I take the plunge...

thanks for your help guys, much appreciated I've decided to upgrade the PSU to the Corsair (or similar) as recommended by deadlockedworld, and upgrade the RAM to 8Gb However, I'm a bit confused with the pricing of some of these graphics cards, and that's stopping me making my decision...

I used to buy my components from www.scan.co.uk and microdirect.co.uk I just checked, they're cheaper than i thought! But I'm guessing the more expensive the better, right? Reviews of the cheap 'Ace' PSUs are pretty disconcerting..... burning smells, going kaput in a week etc.... What are the...

Thanks for the quick response I've built a pc in the past (long time ago), so upgrading the PSU would be no problem, but I wanted to keep costs to a bare minimum. What would you recommend for PSU and best graphics card for £150ish Thanks
