That's a good question, but honestly I don't have many hard requirements. My idea is a 24in or 27in, a combination of DP and HDMI, 144hz 1ms. As for ISP I don't have much knowledge of the subject but from what I've read about it I like but it's not a deal breaker. These are two that caught...

Hey all, my Koorui 24in monitor has died after only a year (cheap piece of crap) and I'm looking for input on a worthy replacement? My price range is between £200 to £300 and I simply want a good, dependable monitor for single player gaming on pc and xbox. Still can't believe I gave away...

Ah yeah, you're right. I just did some research and they are indeed mutually exclusive so maybe I should narrow down the requirements to pc, xbox and nintendo as I don't really use my ps4.

Hey everyone, I currently have a wired razor headset but they are very uncomfortable plus static sometimes interrupts my gaming. So, I was wondering if you could recommend a good wireless set that is comfortable, around £100 and good audio quality. They will be used for pc, xbox, ps and...

Hey all, I wondering if I could get some advice on the possibility of having a set of speakers rigged up to use a laptop, xbox series x and ps4. I have the three working (visually) through the aid of a hdmi splitter but while the laptop is fine with its own audio or using usb speakers the same...

Hey guys, thanks for all the advice as it is appreciated. I finally got myself an ACER Predator Helios 300 15.6" Gaming Laptop - Intel® Core™ i7, RTX 3060, 1 TB SSD for £1200. A little over my budget but, as stated above, the better the GPU the longer the lifespan plus I got a sweet cooling...

Hey, thanks for the suggestions so far as they look like great laptops. I really don't need ultra settings anyway, mid - high, if I'm lucky, at 60 fps is ideal.

Hey everyone, I've decided to buy a gaming laptop as my old AM3 desktop is finally, after 6 years, breaking down and with space now an issue a laptop I feel is better suited. My budget is £1000 and I have a few ideas of what laptop I want but a few recommendations won't hurt and would be...

Unfortunately, that is not the issue as there is no case speaker connector with the Zalman Z11 only an audio connector but I removed it just to eliminate it as a possible cause and it wasn't. Damn this is frustrating and I really hate opening and closing the case for fear I destroy something...

Yes to both your questions and the fan is keeping the cpu pretty chilled - 35 to 38 degrees on idle. I will try disconnecting the case speakers as you recommend and see what happens - thanks.

Cooler master hyper 212 evo, damn I should update the op - didn't even think about the HDD and cooler.

You make some very good points, to be honest the mobo does seem a bit on the overpriced side and I made the mistake of paying £130 for an asus P5E Deluxe last time because amazon recommended it along with the C2D E8400. I like your suggestions concerning the cpu and cooler so I will...

Yeah that was my impression when I read up on the m5a97 too but I didn't know the aerocool were bad - a damn shame. I've looked over your suggestions, thanks by the way, and have made a few changes - would this work well; Asus Sabertooth 990FX - £135.90 AMD FX8350 - £130.56 MSI r9 280x 3GB...
