    Best Gaming Keyboard

    As the title says. I looked at the G105, but could use some other ideas as well. 80 bucks is my range. The keyboard must have: A.) Backlighting B.) Normal key caps (no chiclet keys like Razer keyboards) C.) No mechanicals. I tried a G710+ and Black Widow Ultimate at Wal-Mart the other day and...

    Should I stay on Haswell, Or switch to skylake/AMD

    A big one, because the Pentium is dual core. The i3 is as well, but due to its HyperThreading, it registers as a 4 core in windows. GTA V and Fallout 4 among other games cannot run on dual cores like the Pentium, but will run at low/medium settings on an i3 due to the weird optimization issues...

    Should I stay on Haswell, Or switch to skylake/AMD

    I would go Haswell, but if you can, wait it out and see what AMD Zen FX chips cost later this year. They are projected to be the same price as an skylake i5 with very similar performance but with double the cores. The 8320E isn't worth it, as the chip is very outdated.

    Is this motherboard good for overclocking

    I just picked up a GeminII M4 and 860K. I need a MATX board to hit about 4.5-4.7 GHz for a lower price. Any suggestions if this doesn't work? I really want this though, due to the USB 3.1, but Ill compromise for 3.0 od I have too. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-a88mg31

    Opinions on first build

    Ditch the CIT PSU. Spend a bit more and get an EVGA, Antec, SeaSonic, XFX, or Thermaltake ToughPower. Those are quality units.

    Is there a way to just create a sort of discussion and not a forum question?

    In a day or two I wanted to do that, as Im trying to build in an old PC, and wanted suggestions and such, not to mention I will have more than one question. Anyone know if I can?

    Is this partlist compatible?

    Its compatible, but I would change that mobo to an H97, and put the extra cash into a 390X. That CPU cannot OC

    LIQUID Vs AIR COOLING

    Get a Noctua NDH15, then fill all fan slots in case with Noctua Industrial fans. That's the highest Air cooling you could get!

    My First Build

    The i5 comes with thermal paste preapplied. The 8350/8320/8320E's cooler is s###, and should not be used. Get a 212 evo, which includes paste.

    Upgrade to old PC plus RAM questions. EDIT: Can the MSI A68M Grenade Overclock an X2 370K?

    Bump? (Note: Monitor and RAM have been changed from previous post to keep price down. Nothing else has changed. Amount of RAM is the same)

    My First Build

    The 4460 is faster than the 6350, as a matter of fact. You want the best gameplay, get an i5. They destroy any AMD core (as long as they are above 3.2 GHz).
