I am using an HDMI cable from my GTX 550 ti to my TV. However, it says no signal. I was told I would need a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable, but my GPU has an ordinary HDMI slot. Is there something I'm missing, or is there something that needs to be done to receive signal??? Thanks in advance!!! :D

Ok thank you, I'll just buy retail version then. On amazon I can get Win 7 or Win 8 for the same price (£70/$109). Which one is recommended for gaming. Also should I buy the full version or service pack 1? Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Would a backup disc not count as a DVD? Also, I'm not sure about which version yet.

It's a special deal through a family members work, where you are given a discount code, so it is definitely legit. Thanks for the concern :)

Hello, I am almost ready to build my PC and I can get hold of Windows 7 for £15, however it does not include a disk, just a code, meaning I wouldn't be able to install without a disc (I assume). I will be able to request a back-up disc though, and was wondering whether this would work? Thanks...

Thank you very much. Just to clarify; With this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157303 This CPU: http://ark.intel.com/products/65693/Intel-Core-i3-3220-Processor-%283M-Cache-3_30-GHz%29 and this GPU...

Hello, just a quick nooby question: I will be using my Samsung Syncmaster t220hd as a monitor for my new PC. I was planning on using and HDMI cable, however does this require a motherboard with an HDMI slot. Does the HDMI cable go from the GPU to the TV or the Mobo to the TV? If I use DVI then...

Just realized they are the same thing, except HDMI has audio signal aswell. Thankyou very much for your help again.

I was planning on using HDMI, but would DVI be better?

Unfortunately I don't have the money to buy a monitor at the moment. Hopefully this TV will do for the moment. I seem to remember seeing something about it being designed to also be a PC monitor. It has a VGA cable at least, but I'm not sure...

That's good enough for me thanks :) I'll use your suggested build with this TV as a monitor: http://www.trustedreviews.com/Samsung-SyncMaster-T220HD-22in-LCD-TV-Monitor_Monitor_review One final question: If I find my FPS is low, could I change the resolution on WOW/Guild Wars 2 to 720p without...

Okay, thanks a lot. I assume all these components are compatible? :D Just making sure! As for the graphics card, is it likely my current card could run WOW at Ultra and Guild Wars 2 High both at about 40fps? If not I guess I will have to try and sell it.

Thanks, is that build you have shown me better than the one I have listed? Also, I was concerned about the video card, but I was given it. I was considering selling it on Ebay and using the money towards maybe the 650 ti. However I'm not sure if anyone would buy the card on Ebay and I can...
