    I've read that OEM licenses aren't suitable for end user own builds. Is this true?

    I'm ready to buy windows 7 professional, but apparently OEM is not what I should be looking for. Can someone shed some light on this?

    What screw sizes do I need to install my SSD and HDD in my case

    I have a NZXT s340 case, a WD Blue 3.5" 1.0TB and a Sandisk SSD Plus. I have several screw packets, but I'm unsure which ones I should use for these drives. The SSD screws in from the bottom and I'll be screwing the HDD into the bay from the sides. I have three bags of screws. Can anyone tell...

    Radeon R9 380 vs GeForce GTX 960. Not sure what I should go for

    I have a build in the making. My specs are the Z97 pro gamer, i5 4460, Corsair vengeance 1600MHz 8GB. I have a £160 budget for my graphics card and I'm trying to buy the best card I can for my money and the two cards in the title are what I've found to be possible contenders, but I'm not sure...

    Bought 2400MHz modules over 1600MHz as they were cheaper. Any problem?

    Bought a Corsair vengeance pro ram kit. So two 2400MHz 4GB modules. I've only just found out that 1600MHz would've been well suited as 2400 won't make much difference at all. I'm not fussed on the speed. As long it works and it's supposed to be in the system. Can you guys shed some light on this?

    I have a pile of boxed components in the corner of my room, 4ft from a fan heater. I hope I haven't done damage

    I have a boxed NZXT case with a corsair power supply installed inside it in its box and a motherboard in it's box on top of that. I have a small 58w fan heater 4ft away, but the stream was accidently faced toward the boxes for about 15/20 minutes. There won't be any damage will there? It's just...

    Asus Maximus Ranger Vii as first motherboard for build

    I'm building my first machine, but I'm not sure if the maximus VII is overkill for what I'm doing. I'll be doing music production, some video editing and I may delve into some games if I ever get round to it. I'll be sticking a i5 4460 and 8GB of Corsair vengeance in there as well. Good build...

    Looking to buy the most reliable Z97 board in black/red

    Hey guys, I'm working on my first build. The most infuriating thing to decide on is the motherboard. I have agreed that the Z97 chipset, socket 1150 and DDR3 compatibility are my thing and anything more expensive is out of my price range. I need some help finding the best board for my price...
