    [SOLVED] What is the best bang-for-buck GPU to pair with an i7-8700 ?

    I've just decided to upgrade my entire system. I found out I can't even use an external power supply upgrade on my motherboard as it doesn't have a 24-pin power slot. I'll be upgrading to a DDR5 board with an i5-12600KF most likely. In which sense I should be able to run almost any card I want...

    [SOLVED] What is the best bang-for-buck GPU to pair with an i7-8700 ?

    [SOLVED] What is the best bang-for-buck GPU to pair with an i7-8700 ?

    I have been scouring youtube videos for the last few days trying to figure this out. Some places say the CPU will bottleneck mid-range cards like the 6700 XT, and others say they don't have any bottleneck issues. I've been looking at either the 4060, the 6700 xt, the 3060, the rx 6700 non-xt and...

    Programs Open But Close Immediately

    I've read up on this problem but nobody seems to have this exact problem. So here it is: Recently, within the last week, my computer has gotten to where after a certain amount of time, certain programs will get where they will try to open but then close immediately. This happens with Photoshop...
