Evening folks, Just build my new PC, fired it up and got it working but it freezes on the Windows loading screen with the little dots and then crashes before going into a boot loop. Can anyone advise? I have seen rumors about the 100 chipsets not liking windows 7? Cheers.

Afternoon gents, Looking at buying a 6600k later today and need to decide what MOBO and RAM to purchase with it. RAM is a little easier as there are various models and the likes. Was really struggling with the MOBO. I am torn between the eBuyer deal of an Asus Z170-A or Pro Gaming with a free...

Spgragoo, once again thanks for taking the time to respond! I have some knowledge about PC's, albeit small on the grand scale of things. My budget isn't finite, but I would happily spend a bit more if it meant getting an extra period of time out of the components I brought. I understand the...

Thanks for the reply Chugalug, really helpful! Is it worth spending the extra £100 on an i7 or is that i5 worth the money? Other question is, if I didn't want to spend £100 on a MOBO, what would be the next step down around the £65 range, assume you want a DDR4 memory compatible MOBO in...

Morning all, Looking at spending a bit of money on my old-ish rig in order to give it some much needed love! Currently running with; AMD-6300 GTX 960 (2GB) 8GB DDR3 669MHz RAM Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P MOBO I have a decent PSU and a nice case, which have been updated more recently as well as a...

Hello, Was wanting people's opinions between these two monitors for the use of casual gaming! I am by no means a professional player of any game, usually sticking to WoW, HoTs, D3 and the odd FPS! The XL24 has the 144hz, 1MS and gaming mode benefits but I am not entirely sure I will see these...

Morning folks, Upgrading to a 24" monitor in the near future and been impressed by the reviews posted for both of these monitors. There is currently about a £70 price difference between the two, so was curious if in people's opinions it was worth paying the extra money for the XL24! 144Hz, 3D...

Is it worth spending the extra £70 on the BenQ 24" XL version then Max in your opinion? Higher refresh rate, 3D capabilities and a slightly more intuitive stand and height adjustment feature seem to be the obvious bonuses. Cheers.

Thanks for the answers chaps. I am UK based Max. Apologies for not mentioning before. Is the a 27" version of the BenQ RL2455?

Morning folks, Decided to finally upgrade my old 21" monitor to something of a bit more value and having a real struggle picking out something worthwhile for around the £200. I don't play anything competitively, mostly due to ineptness but also due to the games I generally play such as D3...

Cheers gents for the feedback. Geekwad. No more than 3 hours most days. I don't work or study at it so only for gaming. Some weekends maybe 5 hours or so but that's rare. System is a GTX960, AMD6300 and 8GB Ram. Curious if my GPU will even handle the higher resolution! Cheers again folks.

Morning folks, In the market for a 1440p monitor and due to the relative lack of choice out there due to their freshness on the scene was curious as to what people would recommend? Not a hardcore gamer by any standards, so not massively fussed on a super low MS. I assume there are various...
