    [SOLVED] CPU choice for PC (intel vs Ryzen)

I grabbed an R7 1800x and could not have been happier with production vs. price. 2 years later they release the...

    [SOLVED] Do I need a new motherboard?

    Sorry don't remember the name of power supply and have to take it completely out to see it. There's no overclocking being done on anything. I would assume the UEFI Was up to date as of the time I bought it back in Sept. It was just built and the guy was up on everything.

    Gaming resolution question

    I am wondering if gaming and desktop resolutions can be different? I just got 4k TV for a monitor and I don't like the way the desktop looks in 4k so I set it to 1080p. Will that prevent games that I set to 4k from playing at 4k since the monitor resolution is turned down?
