    MSI 970A-G43 + FX 8320 + Hyper 212 EVO

    I got all my parts for my first gaming build but after they all had been ordered (and most delivered) I noticed that the MSI 970A-G43 is very much frowned upon for use with the FX 8320. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is but it apparently has to do with heat. I wanted to know if I would be...

    How much could I sell my card for?

    Hello, I'm trying to buy a GTX 970 off of my friend but I wouldn't have enough without selling my current card. I have a ASUS DirectCU II Radeon R9 270X 4GB edition.

    Why is my graphics card's price rising?

    Hi guys, around half a year ago I got a Asus Radeon R9 270X 4GB DirectCU II for around $185ish when it seemed to only be going down. But I recently checked it's new price and it seems to have gone back in at least the 200s. On Amazon there is a few going for around 350ish and one is even in the...

    CrossFire R9 280X or single R9 290?

    While I can't really help you with a cpu, two 280x's will always be better than 1 290. As long as you have a big enough power supply and your parts support it. But either way you go you will be able to reach your preferred fps on most modern games. Even my r9 270x can reach ultra at around 30.
