hi im planning to upgrade my phone. i want an unlocked phone which i will be using abroad. im from the uk. right now ive got a contract samsung galaxy ace 3 which is locked. i was thinking about upgrading it to something with better battery and hopefully newer as well. the question is, can i...

How is the sound on them? Do i need a sound card to improve performance?

What are the best sets of speakers on the market? Is Realtek ALC1150 enough or a sound card is needed? I dont mind if its 2.1, 2.0 or 5.1. I want everything from them. Very clear and crisp sound, deep basses and sheer power when i want to annoy a neighbour who lives two streets away...

when buying a z97 mobo chipset is for overclocking so i7 4790k cpu would be better. But i noticed that you went for white theme of your build and it is going to look very tidy. I would go down to 8gb of ram which is enough for gaming and add an ssd. Try samsung 840/850 evo 120gb for operating...

Storm-cooled72 - your build isnt suitable for dayz. Dayz standalone is very cpu intensive game and does not require a gpu like gtx 960 which might be good for games like crysis or far cry.

https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ this is the best i could come up with. i did not include operating system in it. It will run dayz at 1080p medium settings. 50-60fps in open and the usual 20 in towns. the game isnt optimized well but ive heard rumors that there will optimize it big...

With your budget i would go all the way. Water cooling isnt that hard to install. For some even easier than some big air cooling units. There are online guides how to install them. There are videos on youtube too. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dryVTW This would be a killer PC. PSU is 1200W so you...

Are you planning to play games/ do some editing, if yes, is it going to be heavy or basic, overclocking. I wouldnt worry about temps that much as the cases itself provide enough airflow inside, especially Full Tower ones. The only concern would be the CPU cooling, but that depends on what you...

ive got two PCs at my house and i want to buy sound cards for them. At the moment i use onboard audio on both of my rigs. 1st PC Cheap MSI mobo with Realtek ALC889 / 5.1 Logitech speakers With that onboard sound i dont get 5.1 and i want to get a card that will do the job right, mostly when...

ive tried fifa 15 now. in settings i clicked on 'no limit in FPS' instead of 'lock to 60' and i was still getting max 60fps. Does anyone know where i can download drivers for Asus rog swift PG278Q?

in the monitor properties it says 144hz. no i did not install anything, on the cd included i only have got the manual, nvidia gpu drivers and some PG278Q_WHQL folder. the nvidia gpu folder contains an application with drivers but every time i want to run it freezes. When i play games the red...

when i was playing the same games on my old 60hz monitor fraps was showing 90-120. of course i wasnt getting it but now when i can its the other way round. in vertical sync option ive set gsync in both global settings and program settings.

it still shows max 60fps when i turn it off. As i said earlier, in nvidia control panel > manage 3d settings > vertical sync > i set G-SYNC option. Do you think that would be a problem?

i bought an asus rog swift monitor. when i play for example dayz sa or pro evo 2015 with gsync on in nvidia control panel and vsync on in the game my fraps shows max 60fps. the monitor itself has a refresh rate of 144mhz so here is my question. How to set up gsync so when i play the game i get...

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NLKhJx this is what i came up with. You should go with the case that you found, because i dont know any smaller ones. Anyway, i dropped RAM to 8gb, because it is enough for gaming, especially with 980 in your build. I also changed the mobo to save you some money and...
