Hi, I am running a quite olf rig, and I am currently in the market for a massive upgrading happening in about 7 months. Specs I am running are as follows, I know theyre super old, but this has kept me running for a good long while, and want to know if it is worth temporarily upgrading until I...

Hi, As title says, I've just got a premium account with Atlas, and cannot connect to the Tor network when its enabled. I used to dl a lot of stuff from the high seas, but since installing, it wont show me any searches on the site. I am seriously beginning to regret getting the paid service, as...

Wow. Thats given me something to think about. I think I can hold fire on the GPU, because they are falling in price quite a lot atm. Thank you.

Hi, Im running a very very old rig (Don't laugh. 4770k and GTX770), I'm not that interested in mind blowing gaming, just something I can plod along with. I have an overall budget of £550 (I dont get much disposable income due to disability), and I have the option of refurb 1070 for £189, or...

As the Wolf said, if it ain't broke dont fix it. I have a much older GPU (GTX 770). I recently installed the most up to date drivers and got BSOD pretty much every few minutes. PC was unusable. Switched to an older driver, no problems whatsoever. Go with what works for you.

This is true. I was looking to buy off of Scumtree, so the thoughts of reputable sellers is straight in the bin. I'm currently leaning towards brand new, but I must admit that buying a refurb model from a reputable source is kind of tempting. Thanks for your opinion. Saying that though, my...

Title explains all. I am soon to be in the market for a laptop for my son. I want something decent, so as well as doing schoolwork he can also game on it. (He's 11yo and plays all the crap that 11yos play, Fortnite, PVZ 2 or whatever its called??) I'm also doing a sneaky on my wife, as I...

How much power would you suggest I get? I don't have the largest budget.

Hi, I think I get it (Maybe??!!) So basically I would plug my upstairs powerline adaptor into the "Broadband" input of the DLink wireless modem, and then set this up using dhcp on the superhub. My son is using his connection as wired to his PS4, but claims WIFI signal is stronger thank...

Hi, I am in the UK using a Virgin superhub 2. My WIFI signal downstairs is fine, however it's pretty slow/unreliable upstairs. I have bought a DLink Powerline starter kit, so that I could give my son a "wired" connection upstairs, however this doesnt solve the problem of normal WIFI upstairs. I...

Closed. Fresh reinstall of windows carried out.

Hi, I have had the above headphones for about 5 months now with no problems whatsoever, however something happened yesterday (I have literally no idea what!), and they have stopped outputting 5.1 sound. I am getting 2.0 with no problems at all, but when I switch to 5.1 in the Roccat...

Thanks very much for the time and effort you have put in. This is basically for a build that I will be doing for a friend who is off to Uni soon and wants to get into PC Gaming while being able to do his coursework or whatever. He has chosen me to build this for him, due to my wide experience in...

Yes, I am.
