    Can the r9 270x run Star Wars battlefront and fallout 4 at 1050p?

    Ive got an r9 270x running at stock and I would like to know how its going to perform in titles like battlefront, fallout 4, shadows of mordor? I want to run them at high presets at 1680x1050p and get above 50 fps most of the time, is that realistic? Would an R9 280x be a good upgrade?

    Can an EVGA supernova 550w 80+gold certified psu power an r9 280x?

    I keep seeing that the XFX double dissipation 280x needs at least a 700 watt power supply, but when I put my pc into pc part picker (FX-6300, 8 gigs of ram, Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard) along with the 280x, it says that the overall power consumption is 430w. Its a really nice...

    How much will upgrading from 1050p to 1080p downgrade my gaming experience?

    My current system is running an fx-6300 with an OC'd r9 270. It can run any game I throw at it like GTA V, Shadows of Mordor, Fifa 16, and metro last light at medium to high settings and get around 60fps, but that is in part due to the fact that im running a 1050p screen. Id like to get a bigger...

    I have to wait 10 minutes for my computer to do pretty much anything after boot

    I used the hard drive from my old pc in my new build, but its still a 7200 RPM hard drive. The issue is that when I boot into windows, it takes around 10 minutes of sitting idle to open anything. What could this be? PC specs: AMD FX6300 Sapphire Radeon R9 270 (OC) 8 gigs of ram Maxtor hard drive
