Next year I'm going to get one of the new Intel CPUs, well that's if they release any new ones, if they don't I'll just go with an i5 8400 and a z370-p, aswell as get another 8gb ram. Just getting the graphics card now as they are released less often

What PSUs would you recommend? I've been looking at the EVGA G2 650, reviews say it's a very good fully modular power supply. I would have upgraded to a better quality power supply anyway, so the fully modular part of that is a bonus, should I go for it?

I've currently got a Corsair VS550 and my pc specs are: i5 6400 gtx 1050 8gb ddr4 ram 120gb ssd 1tb hdd I'm thinking of buying the new GTX 1170 once released, should I buy a new PSU to ensure that it doesn't blow up? I've heard that the Corsair VS series are prone to failing

I heard that once you have windows on your SSD, you can just wipe your HDD and just put anything onto there and you don't need any program files or anything

I recently bought a 120GB SanDisk 120GB SSD, installed windows on it, then wiped my hard drive as I was told to. But now is there anyway to get all of the basic folders back? e.g. program files x86. I copied and pasted the program files from my SSD onto my HDD so I was able to download programs...

I'm upgrading to a 144hz monitor from my 60hz tv. I have 8 gb of ddr4 2133mhz (2x4). Should I buy a £240 monitor (Viewsonic XG2402) or a £200 monitor (Acer XF240H) and buy an extra 4 gb of ram so I will have 12gb. My motherboard has 4 ram slots, and in the games I play I get 100+ fps so it is...

I currently have a gtx 1050 with an i5 6400. I don't know whether to buy an i5 8600k and the MSI Z370-A PRO, or wait for Nvidia Amphere and possibly by the 2070. Either way I will have to upgrade the other part/s as my i5 6400 will bottleneck a 2070, but my 1050 will be completely rubbish with...

I've ordered a 144hz monitor, should I wait for the new NVidia amphere gpu's release? I don't particularly want to buy a new mobo then cpu, as that will cost alot

In the end, I went with BenQ and ordered the XL2411P, thanks for your help guys

My budget is around £250, so the 2 monitors I stated (Viewsonic XG2402 and the BenQ XL2411p) are my only choices I think, which do you recommend out of these 2? Or have you found any better for the same-ish price?

I've been looking to upgrade my tv (i know) that i run my pc from to a high refresh rate monitor, as my tv is only 60hz and is putting me at a disadvantage in fps games. My cpu is i5 6400 and my graphics card is a gtx 1050, but I'm waiting for Nvidia to release their new line of gpu's (amphere i...

I restarted my router and it fixed it.

My internet was slow, so I turned off my router and turned it back on, but now when I'm playing R6S my ping spikes up to ~100 and I get terrible rubberbanding. When spectating, the player would freeze for a few seconds, then return to normal until the next ping spike. Also, I'm using an Ethernet...

I think it might be my gpu. I rammed my gpu fans up to 100% and instantly heard a click Also I messed up multiple times when applying thermal paste onto my cpu, had to remove about 3 times. Could this be the issue? hyper 212x

It's not the hard drive, It sounds like you bending back a piece of metal then you let go and it smacks into the other piece of metal. case is nzxt s340 Note: only happens when playing games
