    [SOLVED] Something isn't right - Should I Upgrade?

I often see little to no change in stuff like Shadows and stuff like that and they can bite ones FPS. I ha e tried to find a better CPU than my i7-8700 and I thought of the i7-9700 since...

    Question PC freezes before windows logo

    I had some problems some weeks ago, were my games turned blue. I bought a new screen, which fixed that specific problem. I have thought about buying a new PSU, mostly because the one I have does not support the 2000 GPU series.

However, a bit earlier today it started probably the first time. I usually only boot up my PC once a day and...
