    Need LED strips

    Hello, I just finished my build. Case is the corsair 570x and my mobo is a Asus z270 AR. I need recommendations for LED strips that are Aura compatible. Nothing too ridiculous just enough to light the inside a bit.

    Gaming pc under $700

    You should add what performance your expecting, whether to include a monitor in there (extra $), mouse, keyboard. I was able to get a dell PC for $400 at office depot, slapped my old 500w PSU to it and stuck a $200 GTX 960 for my little brother. Plays everything he likes @60fps 1080p.

    Have a question about 3rd gen i7 compatibility

    I have a i7 3700 CPU but the motherboard is tiny, only fits 1 GPU and has no PCI slots for a 5.1 sound card. I'm wondering if someone can recommend me a bigger motherboard. I'm not too familiar with the compatibility of newer motherboards with older CPUs

    Looking for a new motherboard

    Hello everyone, My PC currently has a very basic MOBO that doesn't allow me to SLI an additional 970. I want it to have USB 3.0, slots for SLI, and for it to be compatible with my CPU, i7 3700. **Alternatively would it be wiser to simply purchase a 980ti and sell my 970 since the cost of a new...

    Is my rig here better than PS4 and ready for Fallout 4?

    I read somewhere that it'll run at 900p @ 30fps on the PS4. I'm sure that right will get at least that frame rate. Your above the minimum specs I believe but not quiet at the Recommended. So a good Med/High graphics presets can get you a respectable frame rate.

    Using my old 660 for physx

    I have a i7 3770k, gtx 970, 500w psu (haven't had any issue with it). What PSU should I get so I can use the 660 for physx. Would it be worth it on say witcher 3 where hairworks murders fps?

    Looking to buy a 120hz + monitor

    I don't really want to spend more than $300 for one. I've heard a lot about Nvidia Gsync but I'm not too well versed in it. Anyone have suggestions for a sub $300 120hz+ monitor? Or should I wait until prices come down a bit.

    Anyone have any recommendations? I'd like to keep the price down if possible I've heard they can get a little pricey for PC's.

    Can I put a graphics card in this

    The biggest issue with a any GPU is that this probably has just a Power Supply that will barely get the system by as is. Second, that is one of the worst CPU's you can get and any modern graphics card would be immedietly bottlenecked. Not worth buying if you were planning on using it as a gaming...
