So the caps-locks/numlock/scroll-lock LEDs on my Perixx PX-2000 flashed the other day and have since ceased to function. This drives me quite insane (I touch type, and it is very frustrating having to keep backspacing when you accidentally hit caps lock and are half a sentence away before you...

i know that i7 and 16gb RAM are not needed for gaming - however they are needed for 3DS Max :)

I'm building a compact (mini ITX) gaming rig for my friend. It also needs to run adobe/Autodesk products. Firstly how does the current spec list look? Secondly is the R9 290 worth getting over the R9 280X? (or is there a better Nvidia card for the price?) Lastly - Is it worth going for the...

Also is it worth paying ~£15 more for an R9 290 over the R9 280X?

Ok, updated to a SeaSonic M12II 650W. In terms of monitor I suggested an IPS (which is what I use) but I think he would rather have more money for the graphics card - and providing a TN is decent in terms of colour it isn't too critical (it's not being calibrated to a printer or anything so...

Hi, I am building a compact (mini ITX) gaming computer for my flatmate, and wanted to check that I'm not making any bad decisions with parts! It is for gaming, but will also be used for adobe suite/autodesk products (hence the need for the i7). The Budget is ~£1000 also to include monitor...

ABout 9 months ago I built a workstation computer (i7 4770k, 16gb RAM (Corsair) and relevant to this post a Quadro k600. At the time the only gaming I did was mine-craft, however I've recently started getting into other games such as GTA 4, Assassins Creed etc that require a bit more graphics...

Hi, I have just built a computer with an Asus Z87-A, 4770k & Quadro K600. After having issues with the computer not waking from sleep I have narrowed it down to being an issue with the MOBO. I'm not certain if it's the Z87-A hardware or BIOS (I have upgraded the bios to the latest version) but...

Also I don't know if it's relevant, but my keyboard is a Perixx PX-2000, when the computer is asleep the back-light on the keyboard is on, but if I press anything on the keyboard the lights go off again. Also when the computer is shut down the back-light on the keyboard remains illuminated. I...

Hello, So I have just built a new computer (first computer build) It all seems to be working fine except for one issue - when the computer goes to sleep by its self, the power light pulses but it won't turn back on again. I have tried pressing buttons on the keyboard, mouse & the power button...

Right, well I guess that is pretty much sorted then :) Thanks for all your help, and I'll be sure to post some pictures of the build!

Ok, thanks for all your help so far! Is it worth spending the extra £20 or so to go for a 4770K over a 4770, and how easy is it to overclock?

Ok, if I get a 4770 and drop the aftermarket cooler it's only £30 more than this build which I can live with, so I guess that's a better option to go for? Joe
