When I built my PC, I built it with gaming in mind only. Since then, my photography business has grown and I will be doing a lot of important assignments for engineering school such as 3D modeling. I'm moving to upgrade my computer's ram and storage for better performance. I currently have a...

I'm trying to get a new laptop for school. Looking specifically for one that is 13.3-14 inches so I can keep it in my backpack, under $500 and is decently fast. Mostly going to be doing homework and maybe photo and video editing. I found 2 laptops I like except one has an i3 6100u with ddr4 and...

Interesting that when you unplugged the card and ran off the integrated graphics that it kept doing that. But it is always a good idea to reinstall drivers if there are issues like that. The NVIDIA drivers should be first, go into geforce experience, get the new drivers and select custom...

Well he doesn't really care about GTA that much and it's working fine on lower settings which he is okay with. He does not care about game graphics as long as they run, he's not really a gamer. Just light gaming. The main concern is Premiere. Is the 960 going to be good? If not will the 970 be...

My friend brought me his computer the other day because it kept crashing and was super slow. He told me he had no experience with computers so I expected it to be a 5 year old retail computer. He asked if I could salvage any parts to build a new computer that could handle video editing and light...

I just want to lay this one to rest. I overclocked from the stock 3.5ghz to 4.4 and got 10 more fps. Then I just switched to intel after a while and got the 4790k. No more issues

As far as graphics I would look into some used cards right now. The Nvidia 900 series was recently released so check out ebay. A lot of people are upgrading and selling off their old ones. You may be able to find a good GTX 760 right now for around $150 or I've seen them at $175 new. That is a...

That one should be good and looks decent. With me I will always buy graphics cards by EVGA though. New and used because their warranty is 3 years and they most of the time honor that no matter what, assuming whatever problem it has is due to a faulty card not that you got excited, brought it in...

Looks like I may stay away from ASRock too for z97 http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/2jrt1b/psarequest_possible_reoccurring_problem_with_the/ It looks like I would not notice anything if I went to Z87. Any suggestions there? Thank you for the posts already by the way!

Nothing bad to say about ASRock? Because if not then heck yes! Thanks!

Okay so I'm making the switch from AMD FX 8320 to Intel 4790K. I want the better processing power per core than more cores. Just bought the CPU, therefore I need a new motherboard. I have had a blue theme going from blue mobo, LED's, fans, RAM, then mouse and keyboard. I had the ASUS M5A99X Evo...

I completely wiped and re-installed the drivers as well as the software with no luck. I ran a game and the idle temps. They were both 32 C on corsair link and 17 C idle and 31 C in game on MSI Afterburner. I'll give it a shot in my friends and vice versa and see as soon as I have a free moment.

Computer wouldn't boot with CPU opt. I was looking for that setting in BIOS but couldn't find it. I was looking around AI Suite and I found something called Probe II. Inside that I was able to turn off alerts for all the issues. I don't like the idea of just turning them off but it got rid of...
