    Switching OS from HDD to SSD and 950M gaming

    OK thanks for the above, that seems pretty painless and should be fine. Cheers! However, those benchmarks tell me nothing. I want 1080P low, not 720P low, if anyone actually has one and plays H1Z1 etc can they comment, i figure it will be in low graphics for a 60FPS constant

    New budget build: try AMD?

    you don't like corsair PSU's? I used one on my last build, and it was a dream for me, used the cx600M and although people comment on the quality i found mine to work just fine, even on 4.5ghz overclocks with my 970 ramped up to max? Whats the difference, and would I need more than 500w? Also...

    I have always been an intel fanboy, and my first PC build was a bit of a beast for comp TF2 etc, but I have grown up a bit and don't game anymore. However, I have come to the realisation that i may need a new PC, but i really don't want to spend much. It needs: - To look clean AF, IE, only NZXT...

    ok, sorry sincreator for the spam, but I am really quite worried. Anyways, I will have a look for the latest bios but I am having a lot of problems. As for using the bios, yes, I have tried the bios and the intel extreme tuning utility. You don't need to download drivers for the cpu do you...
