I have recently bought a GTX 680 EVGA model with a gelid icy vision aftermarket cooler fitted to it from ebay. The guy I bought it from said it had been removed from a system 12 months ago and was working. I now am not so sure as I tested it last night and it had no signal. I tested it in my...

Hello, Just built a computer for a friend (specs below). When I turn in on it posts (well it does now as it had a blown RAM module which I manged to diagnose and instead of 16gb it now has 12gb at present) but I get the CPU FAN ERROR message. The CPU Heatsink Fan isn't spinning. I am using...

Thanks for all the replies. Still waiting to see how the top RYZEN chips perform. Will be interesting, although it could be a while to build a system with them. If Intel drop the i5 prices to around £120 it could make things very interesting. Although I don't think they will. Hopefully...

Looking to build mid range gaming pc for light multi tasking. Was going to buy an i5 6500 or 7500 but noticed the i5 7400 seems to have similar specs to the i5 6500. Is it worth getting the i5 7400 as its currently £169 in UK vs £185 for i5 6500? Or should I wait for the elephant in the room...

Hello, Forgive if this is a silly question but could a system like the below which only has a 210w power supply running an i3 6100 4gb ram have a GTX 1050 ti slotted into its PCIE slot on the motherboard. http://www.ebuyer.com/736466-lenovo-thinkcentre-m700-sff-desktop-10gt0028uk Just...

Hello, I am looking for a new gaming PC to replace my aging laptop. Build requirements are: i3 or i5 skylake processor Z170 Motherboard (if possible) R9 380 4gb GPU 8gb DDR4 2666mhz (hence the Z170 board to get he higher ram speeds) HDD - 120/240gb SSD and 1tb HDD or 1tb SSHD Case with some...

Thanks for the advice bad actor. Will have a look at that build. Was looking to use a z170 board purely for upgrades in future. Total war can be very CPU intensive so wanted to avoid bottlenecks on initial build and then give wiggle room for upgrades at later date. Thanks again for the advice

Hello, Looking to build a gaming PC on a budget primarily to play Total War games (Primarily Rome 2 and Attila) and wanted to get decent FPS on the higher graphics settings. My budget is around £700-800 for an overall build. That being box, monitor, keyboard, mouse. I saw the below and liked...
