The 1060 6gb is one of the best gpu's for price to performance. Your 6300 will bottleneck the GPU a bit, it's unavoidable. As sizzling said it is an old CPU. But, there are plenty of settings in games that can be tweaked or disabled to give a better experience without sacrificing graphics and...

1060 is about £260 and 1080 £530 at the moment depending on brand etc. The 1060 is an excellent card, really recommend it for price to performance. I don't think the prices will come down straight away, might be a few months while the 2000 series nvidias take hold. Could always try this...

Lol my bad. Meant this one https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/8sRFf7/asus-rog-strix-z370-e-gaming-atx-lga1151-motherboard-strix-z370-e-gaming

Never had aproblem with them before but the motherboard can be swapped for something comparable if you are worried Maybe this: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/VRjWGX/asus-rog-strix-z370-i-gaming-mini-itx-lga1151-motherboard-strix-z370-i-gaming

Your motherboard doesn't support ddr4 ram, only ddr3. If you want better resolution you will have to get a better GPU. The 1060 6gb, like Zerk suggested would be a big improvement over the 650ti and it's not too expensive either. The stuttering and FPS drops would probably improve if you had...

Same. Depends on what you want to use it for. But this should do for most situations: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DWMFtg Compatibility Check: No issues/incompatibilities found.Start A New Part List Component Selection Base Promo Shipping Tax Price Where CPU Intel - Core i7-8700K...

Sometimes you have to check everything, no matter how mundane, and you find that it's the tiniest thing that has ruined the whole setup. Just give everything a go and good luck.

Definitely give it a good clean. If it has integrated graphics make sure you have selected your GPU and not the on board graphics. I know most of these answers seem trivial but it could easily be something small messing up the whole thing. Good luck with it.

Ok, I will give it a try in a sec and post what happens

Give the power supply a good clean if you can. I don't know how the 210 is powered (motherboard/6 pin/8 pin etc), but make sure everything is connected properly. Try cleaning the GPU as well if you can. Compressed air should do the job. If doesn't work, try drivers and a different pcie lane. If...

Sorry forgot to say there is no hdd connected. I'm not trying to install an is, just get to bios and show that everything is working. I did try with a bootable USB after trying everything else, but I still get the same sequence with the frozen black screen.

Could be a problem with the pcie lane, try using a different one if possible. Could also be a driver issue. Sorry I don't have any idea why it's working then not, but it's worth trying different things. Could even be that the GPU is just on its way out, that is quite an old one

Didn't try a different CMOS battery, will give it a go in a minute. I don't think anything is wrong with the GPU, fans spinning fine and displaying the gigabyte logo no problem. I have tried every combination of my 4 ram sticks in different slots, including trying each one on its own, doesn't...

The PSU is Novatech 500w non modular, brand new. I used it for maybe 2 weeks before upgrading to ryzen and it is absolutely fine. Ram is not identical, two different sets of the same brand, but they worked properly at the correct timings and speed for nearly 2 years. I have tried the ram sticks...

Hello. I have recently upgraded to Ryzen 5 1600/GTX 1060 6 GB, and am very happy with it. The problem is I can't get my old system working. I thought I would sell it on, get a few quid for me and someone gets a budget setup. I put it all together and it turns on fine, shows the motherboard...
