Does it honestly impact gaming in any significant way? If it's only a marginal performance boost, then I'm not that worried.

Does the 2x4GB make that much of a difference? If I took the RAM into consideration, I'd be looking at these two: Reactor 970 Gaming System (same price $1499, just an unusual case)...

I've narrowed down my search for a new (primarily gaming) PC to just these two, and I'm kinda torn at the moment. They're both the same price ($1499 AUD), with the only real difference being the HDD size. However the first PC's Phanteks Enthoo case seems a much more appealing build than the...

Okay - so I just download the ISO through Microsoft's website, right? Use my activation key there, and then burn it to a DVD/USB with a program like Rufus? Sorry if it sounds like I'm asking 21 silly questions; just want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly!

One last query. Microsoft have this on their 8.1 FAQ page: "If your PC has a 64-bit capable processor (CPU) but is currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can install a 64-bit version of Windows 8.1, but you'll need to buy it as a DVD and perform a clean installation. You won't be...

Unfortunately the 8.1 Standard is out of stock on G2A, but I'll keep an eye on it - thank you for the quick answer and link!

I'm looking to upgrade my 32-bit OS to 64-bit, and I'd like to stick with Windows 7 rather than "upgrade" to 8, considering all the negative feedback and warnings against it. My local computer shop is selling the Windows 7 Home Premium for $159 (AUD), which seemed a little expensive to me. I...

That's a shame. I guess the Acer would be more ideal then, since it seems to run at a flat 5ms with no indication of G2G (although I suppose it's hard to trust any marketing with monitors).

The only issues I have with the LG IPS panel is that there seems to be no reviews for it online, and this: Response Time (ms): 5ms (Typical) Leads me to believe that's G2G, and the response time will actually be something like 12-14ms instead. Maybe I'm just over-thinking it, I dunno.

Hi, I'm looking to FINALLY upgrade to a HD monitor, and I'm torn between these 3. I mostly use my PC for gaming (MMORPGs, high-end action games like Witcher and Wolfenstein) and watching movies/shows. I'm not much of a competitive FPSer, so I'm not entirely fussed about getting that 1ms...
