As per the title really (and apologies if this is a stupid question, I’m not very techy) - I’ve got an a 10 year old desktop that I’m planning to replace (may even attempt to build my own this time) and want to know if I can install windows on the new machine by utilising the licence on my old...

So this may read like a stupid question but take into account my current needs and I think it becomes a bit trickier... Current system: i5 3570k (oc’d to 4.2) Arctic freezer cooler (it’s 8 years old, can’t remember the exact model) 16GB ddr3 Gigabyte GTX 1060 6gb 250 gb Samsung ssd (for os) +...

Sorry, can't offer any advice but will be watching this thread with interest as in a very similar situation (I've got an i5-3570k oc'd to 4.2 and 16gb DDR3). Got about the same budget so have been thinking about R5 3600/X, B450 Tomahawk Max board and 16gb 3600 ram along with a new PSU as mine's...

Current System: Asus P8Z77-V LX i5 3570k (oc to 4.3ghz) 250gb SSD & 1tb HDD Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 6gb 8gb (2x4) 1600mhz DDR3 (Corsair XMS 3) 1080p Monitor I think the RAM is now the slight weak point in my system (especially as far as gaming goes) so am looking at an upgrade as I don't...

OK, so the install of the SSD went very smoothly (despite me forgetting to go into the BIOS!), it picked up the SSD, automatically changed to ACHI in the BIOS and automatically detected the USB with the Win 10 installer. Better still, I've now reconnected the old hdd into the second sata port...

So, I've had a Samsung 850 evo (250gb) in my drawer for about a fortnight now which I bought in a moment of confidence - it's still in the drawer as that confidence has now left! I want to install the SSD as my boot drive and retain my existing 1tb mech drive for storage / games etc. I have...

So I'm replacing my aged GTX 660 2gb with a GTX 1060 6gb today which I understand should give me a nice uplift in performance. I've never replaced / upgraded anything in a PC before so just wanted to double check I've got the process for this right? 1. Uninstall NVidia Graphics Drivers 2. Shut...

Thank you all. Have gone with a Gigabyte GTX 1060 (8gb) and 250gb Evo 850 SSD - looking forward to seeing how much of an impact they have!

Thanks all. Think I'm leaning towards the GTX (just through familiarity as much as anything else). Never actually upgraded anything in a PC before so once I've got my components I may be starting another thread with some idiot questions!
