So if you have a bunch of USB's that you can back up your content too, and for games you can try to save the data for them or just not worry about it and just re-download them from Steam. You can also try an create an image of your computer as well.

Don't be afraid to check the power supply as well, and another monitor.

If it's constanly making these noises than there might be an issue. Seagates are know to have failing issues, so make sure to back up all of your stuff now that you have gotten in, just in case. Do that test run of the hard drive, and run the clean up and optimize. Then once you have everything...

So here is a link to run a test on one hard drive or all of them. Link: http://www.howtogeek.com/134735/how-to-see-if-your-hard-drive-is-dying/ When your running your system keep in mind any noises coming from the drive such as clicking or whining music. Also try to run a disk clean up and...

You got your timeline all planned out already and here I am drooling over anything new that comes out. Intel just came out with their line of CPU's for the 2011-v3 platform and the Skylake series just came out not too long ago. So Intel is done for the year, and there is no conformation for the...

Hey Rhysaim thanks for the help, and yes I do have 8 sticks of RAM. I had four in the beginning and then added four more. When I started having all the issues, I did a clean install of Windows 10 with all eight at the time. Their the all the same brand and speed, and no it doesn't line up with...

Alright so here's the thing, getting these cards are going to be hard, I would personally wait until the overclocked ones came out (just a suggestion). A lot of the manufactures are releasing 3+ options of these cards in the near future. The 1060 is a great option, also keep in mind that these...

Some trouble shooting ideas, one make sure that your plugging in your monitor to the graphics card. Next make sure that your card is actually running and that you have the right cables plugged in. Then lastly make sure that you have your card in the top most slot on your motherboard. If these...

Alright so DDR3 start at speeds of 800 Million transfers a second and go up to 2133 MT's. DDR4 starts at where DDR3 ends, and goes up. There is also an increase in bandwidth on the DDR4 side. I can't really give you a percentage, but there is quite a difference between the two. Keep in mind the...

Corsair has some quality built cases, I personally rock the 450D or 780T. Evga just came out with at DG-8 and the thing is really awesome. Take a look at the computex YouTube videos of the newer cases coming out. It all depends on the size of the case as well, but good luck on your endeavors!

It necessarily would not be outdated after a while but I mean everything will become outdated at one point or another. I think this link will help you decide, and overclocking is another whole beast. Link...

Just build a computer, and be done with it. Have him look at this video, link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy2r-Ur12tw

I would also suggest the 1060 because of performance and better capabilities, but keep this in mind with the 1060 just being released getting your hands on one might be really difficult. Also the 1060 has no SLI capability, but with the 970's being almost one year old you can easily get one, and...

Hey TechiGamer, there are two things to keep in mind, the first being the temperatures on the components (CPU / GPU), and the color of the solution. If you start to see temps go up then I would advise changing the fluid and if that does not do the trick you might have to clean the blocks out for...
