Lately I've been looking to upgrade and I've been thinking about it for months. I thought 'screw it' recently and thought I'd buy a new PC from scratch. I forked out on this bad boy. I know it's a very good PC, but is is totally VR ready? And how long will it take (estimate) before I'll have to...

So I was going to upgrade in preparation for the GTX 1080 and was going to buy a new everything, pretty much. Whilst comparing parts I found this: http://www.novatech.co.uk/motherboardbundles/view/mbb-670016.html I thought It'd save me the work.. but It's more than the parts separately...

This is going to be difficult to explain but I shall try as breifly as possible. Please read. My PC turns on to the normal lock screen, I type in my pin and it loads the desktop and black screens immediately. I can open task manager and go back to the lock screen fine from here but I cant use...

Right, this is driving me insane. I'll keep it short. I'm trying to activate windows 8 on my new Acer Aspire ES1-512. I've tried basic things like reinstalling windows through the windows AND Acer ones. I've reinstalled 3 times in total. I've used two different extractors to retrieve the product...

I've moved everything I want to keep to my D drive, where I keep all my games and my steam folder. I thought if I go ahead and just format the C...

I'll keep things short. I bought a new Seagate 500GB internal HDD. I installed it into my PC without problem. When I booted up the PC after the install, It froze on the first screen? It would NOT let me open BIOS, manually boot etc. It just froze. When I turned off my PC and took out the HDD, my...

Hello, I was wondering what the BEST possible graphics card I can put in my PC without it bottlenecking, overheating etc? I was thinking about an nVidia GTX 660TI, but according to someone it'll have a 9%. I play all game genres except strategy. I play games a lot. I have a £300ish budget...

Hello, This is my first time posting in the forum. I'd like to say Hello! Right, let's get to it. The big two questions! 1) Do I need to upgrade anything, majorly? 2) Would a Asus AMD Radeon HD 7970 be a good upgrade option for my rig? My current specs: AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black...
