Im building my first PC and all i need to complete it is a graphics card and monitor. There is a fantastic deal on a Dell 27" 1440p, 144hz G-sync monitor for $445 that I just bought, but that would mean the g-sync would make me stuck with Nvidia cards. I was planning on buying a gtx 1070 or...

looking to buy a GTX 1070 for 1440p gaming. I think i have it narrowed between the MSI 1070 Gaming X, or the Asus Strix (non-oc version - the OC version is 70$ more). Which one should I get and why? looking for answers in 2 categories: which one has better cooling? (some people say the MSI does...

trying to decide between the arctic siver 5 and mx4 thermal pastes for use with a Cryorig H7 cooler + i7 6700k processor. Which one should I get and why? both have similar reviews. i think someone said the mx4 is thinner so its better to get the silver 5 for use with a large cooler like that but...

Got a MSI z170a Gaming M5 mobo, i was going to buy a case that supports 8 case fans (excluding the cpu cooler fan) but first wanted to make sure the mobo will support that many fans.
