After a bit more research i decided to get the Z170 Extreme4 from Asrock. Seems to have positive reviews and looks to be a bit more reliable than the Pro4.I was also considering the Asus Z170-A but there are a good number of bad reviews about it.Do you guys think i should go for the Extreme4 or...

Okay so,i have some cash to finally build a new gaming rig and i need your opinion on the build. MB: Asrock Z170 Pro4 RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz CPU: Intel i5 6600K CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U14s GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 Superclocked SSD: Samsung SSD 750 EVO 120GB HDD: Seagate 500GB...

A little update. I tried the gpu with my TV which is a Toshiba FullHD 32inch,using the HDMI of the videocard,no problems at all. Also tried it with a small 22 inch Phillips TV,also fullHD but i used the DVI to VGA adapter and the VGA cable of my monitor to connect the gpu to the TV.Also didn't...

So i just tried the card with my TV using the HDMI,a Toshiba full hd 32inch.No problems,played fallout and csgo with no flickering,or something like that. I have uninstalled the drivers yes,and just installed the latest drivers,after i swapped the cards.My old card is GTX660 DCU2 Asus,and i had...

So i recently bought a new GPU,the Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X edition,and i have some issues.I also bought a new case for the PC,and after installing everything,i jumped into CSGO to check things,and i noticed the monitor was flickering.Like lots of lines just jumping faintly up and down.Thought it...

Turns out i can get the r9 280x for cheap from a friend, almost new still in warranty.And as i read from here, and other reviews it is better than the gtx960.Can you recommend me a good power supply? Im guessing 650w will be enough, or should i get the recommended 750w?

Yeah, definetly adding an ssd later. But im wondering if its okay to get 100gb ssd for the OS and apps, and the hdd for the games and stuff. Is it ok, or the games need to be on the ssd also?

I thought about getting an i7-3770 and the gtx960 or the r9 380,to max out my current rig, and upgrade in a year or two. You think this is a good idea?

Well, budget will be around $800-850,PC only.No problem with the r9 380,as long as i get decent frame rates, and would be really nice if i can get them with a 144hz monitor. A friend of mine has one, and games play and look really great.

I thought i could use the DVI-D cable that comes with the monitor?

What you guys think about this PC build.It will be used for gaming mostly. I thought about getting the K model of the CPU,but then the motherboard has to be different,and i don't know exactly which ones are good for overclocking.Could use your help on that.Is the GPU enough,or should i shell out...

Hey there. My old Asus monitor is dead,so i need a new one.I want to get a 144hz monitor,but i read that i need a very good GPU to be able to use its full potential.I play games like CS:GO and other games also.I have the Asrock H61M/U3S3 Mobo, Asus GTX660 DCU OC 2GB edition,a i5-3450 CPU...

Hey guys. So i will be upgrading my CPU with the i5-3470,and i need to update my BIOS version to P1.70. My MB is the Asrock H61M/U3S3.On their website,it says that for the Ivy bridge cpu-s,i need to have the P1.70 version and some other drivers...

Hello there. I am buying a new GPU and have chosen the GTX660 from ASUS.My question is will i have any problems with the video card,based on my PC specs? I have a ASrock H61M-U3S3 MB,Intel Core i3-2125 3.3Ghz,2x4GB Kingston HyperX blu 1333Mhz,450W Fortron PSU. I read that the video card needs...
