    Upgrading Worth it?

    I just OC'd my gpu and its doing much better. But whenever I tab ult or just load in my battlefield runs terribly for about 15 secs and sometimes I get terrible drops on that game, but I can run it on ultra and I've noticed I get just as much drop at lower settings. Kinda weird but I don't think...

    Upgrading Worth it?

    I was wondering if I would be better off building a computer or if it wouldn't matter just upgrading my gpu (the main/only purpose of my computer is to game). I have an old 2320 I5 with some intel motherboard (not sure which one) But it has Pcix16 2.0 and is a few years old (cost around $80 at...

    I5 2320 Bottlenecking?

    Hi I have this old computer from my work with an I5 2320 @3.00 Ghz I was wondering how strong of a gpu I can run without it bottlenecking. The motherboard is pretty old too. It only has a PCI 2.0. Would I be able to get a Gpu such as the Gtx 760 or 770 an R9 280?

    I am planning on building a new system when amazon does their black friday deals. I am probly gonna buy 2 R9 290's and a 4k monitor. I was wondering if either the I7 4790k or the Fx 8350 would bottleneck these cards at 4k resolution. (Note I do not want to know which is better, I already know...

    What is the danger in water cooling

    I was wondering how dangerous water cooling is. Obviously if the tubing where to leak in your computer components would get damaged. I assume that prebuilt water coolers are made strong enough so they will never leak. So if I where to buy an H100i or H50 would I have anything to worry about...

    $1000 gaming PC build help

    AMD FX-8350 vs. Intel i7 4770k ? which is better ?

    Well if you are looking to save some money the fx 8350 has a better price to preformance than the i7. Apparently its cores will be more beneficial in the future for gaming. However if you are looking for video editing the i7 has hyperthreading, plus currently since most things on the computer...

    What is needed for 4k gaming?

    Hey guys I was wondering if a single R9 290x sapphire (I will be overclocking it) with an 8350 fx (overclocked with the noctua heatsink) will be enough to run the future games in 4k. I assume that mantle will only improve more as newer drivers come out and amd is a solid choice. Do you guys...
