    PSU cable converter help

    I bought a Seasonic X-Series 80+ Gold 850w psu from the USA recently (I live in Australia), and when I got it I realised it (duh) had a US plug-end on the cable instead of an Australian one. It's 13A, 125V. Anyone know what converter I'd need? I have a kinda crappy 10A converter, but I assumed...

    Which PSU wattage should I go with

    I'm going to be running a gtx 780 sc, and I was originally going to have two gtx 780 cards but I don't think I'll be getting the other card for at least a year (unless I snag it on special at some point during the year); I was told with two cards I should run an 850w PSU, but if I won't be...

    Looking for monitor suggestions?

    r9 290x or gtx 780ti

    Hi, I'm building a computer for gaming/video editing/3D modeling, and while I was originally considering either a gtx 780ti or (maybe) two gtx 780s, I was reading up on the comparisons between the r9 280x and the gtx 780ti and saw the 290x was right up there with it and something like $300...

    What PSU should I use?

    Hi, I'm building a computer for gaming/video editing/3D modeling and I'm stuck on what PSU I should use since I'm a bit unsure on wattage and all that. Is the SeaSonic X Series 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply any good, or is 850W too much? Should I stick with 750W? This...

    How much RAM do I need?

    I'm going to be building a $2500 computer for gaming/video editing/3D modeling, as well as using Adobe Photoshop cs6, and I was wondering how much RAM do I need to do all this? Is 16GB enough? Is it too much, too little? I know 8GB is fine just for gaming, but I'm less sure for video editing/3D...

    Which video card should I get?

    My dad's letting me build a computer for a graduation present and I have a budget of about $2500 (maybe more if I can save up some extra), and I was wondering which video card I should go with. I want to be able to max out games if possible (Watch Dogs, upcoming 2014/2015 games) and I want to do...
