So I'm a big gamer, but as far as work goes I'm limited to basically Excel and a bunch of browser stuff...My little brother is looking for a laptop; he's not really a gamer at all, but he does want it to run photoshop smoothly...so I'm not sure what you want your strong-points to be for that...

So here's my specs: Windows 7 (Prefer over 10) I7-6700k (o'cd to 4.7ghz) Asus Maximus Hero VIII mobo Asus GTX 1070 OC edition (drivers UTD) Toshiba RD-400 PCIe SSD 32GB G-Skill DDR4 Corsair 110i Liquid cooling on CPU So here's my question...I play a good amount of Battlefield 1, and somehow...

I know the i7 is more than I need as of right now, but I always try to future proof when I build. As far as the g1 psu, what makes the g2 superior? Is the g1 considered crap?

I'm coming from a long line of AMD builds, so this is my first intel setup in about 10 years. I threw this guy together, so firstly, I wanted to make sure the specs don't raise any red flags. Corsair Carbide SPEC-ALPHA Case EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G1 80+ GOLD 750W Intel I7-6700k ASUS ROG Z170...

First, sorry for the down vote, that was an accident. I looked into it for and wide, apparently it's doable but such a pain that I think I'll just spend the $100 and go pick up an Asus 970 pro gaming that comes with an m.2 slot.

Hi, I'm running Windows 7 pro on a Asus M5a99fx pro 2.0 mobo with a fx8320. I bought a toshiba ocz pcie ssd yesterday and installed it. Windows recognizes it fine once I installed the driver, but I can't seem to get the bios to detect it. I was hoping to make this my boot drive with OS on it...

So I was going to start a new high-end gaming rig build with an i7 and all the bells and whistles, but then I realized that my current pc isn't really struggling to perform. Granted, I play Company of Heroes 2 and DayZ; not the most demanding games. The rig is about 3 years old, I got a new gpu...

Sorry I didn't mention that, but I'd prefer to get a laptop even if it is a bit more expensive just for the mobility. New job has me traveling a decent amount, but the only way I could justify spending that much $ would be if I could replace my desktop as well.

So here's what I'm running at home right now; it's a couple years old: FX 8320 @ 4.5ghz, hyper 212 16gb DDR3 ram Asus Strix gtx 970 Samsung SSD etc I'm wondering if I bought a higher-tier gaming laptop, if it would significantly outperform this desktop to the point where I could hook it up to...

Hi, I just wanted to get the thoughts of this community as I'm trying to find the most suitable laptop for myself. I bought a Asus UX303-UA zenbook a couple of weeks ago, and I love the design, the i5 processor seemed sufficient, but it had no dedicated graphics, and my brother had no laptop...

So I built a pc over a year ago, geared towards moderate gaming and day-to-day stuff. I recently upgraded my gpu, and am curious as to where else I can improve the build. I've been playing a lot of day-z lately, and for some reason load times and all just aren't where I feel they should be...
