    Review EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 GDDR6 Review: Boosted Performance in a Crowded Market

    It's honestly not that bad of a card, however I feel like that 6-Pin power connector kind of ruins the entire purpose of the 1650, which is to be a power-efficient, plug-and-play gpu that could be used for upgrading older pcs with sub-par power supplies, that would otherwise be unable to handle...

    [SOLVED] i5 9600k vs Ryzen 5 3600x

    9600k tends to be a bit faster in games because of its higher clockspeed. Also, I really don't think you need to spend anywhere near 200$ for a motherboard, 140-150$ would be more than enough. Cheers

    [SOLVED] Recovering MS Office 2016 after a system upgrade.

    Hello CloudyFaygo, sorry for a late response. The problem has actually resolved itself after a Windows update, which made Office reappear as an app that I have already purchased once, so I was able to download it without any hassle. I actually forgot to close this thread, which is my mistake...

    Review AMD Ryzen 5 3400G Review: First-Gen Zen Gets Refreshed

    i3-9350K on top in pretty much all of the gaming tests with a discrete gpu? From what I have seen, it is considered a terrible purchase at its MSRP. Didn't expect to see it perform this well in this review.

    Review AMD Threadripper 3970X and 3960X Review: Taking Over The High End

    Looks like AMD has abandoned their WX branding on higher-end models(2990/2970WX). Other than that these seem very powerful and quite expensive but of course, if you really benefit from powerful multi-core performance, I think you actually get what you pay for here.

    [SOLVED] Recovering MS Office 2016 after a system upgrade.

    Hello, thank you for your response, it actually does show up in my MS Store I just cannot download it due to the error code mentioned above. I'll try to contact Microsoft about it, however I doubt it'll resolve the issue, based on my previous experience with their customer support.

    [SOLVED] Recovering MS Office 2016 after a system upgrade.

    Hello, thank you for your response. Unfortunately my school does not offer MS Office license for free. I bought a regular activation code key, which cost me around 70 euros at the local electronic store and it has been working very well up until I swapped my hardware. I'll give Libre Office a...

    [SOLVED] Recovering MS Office 2016 after a system upgrade.

    Hello forum users, I have upgraded my motherboard, processor and ram yesterday and so far I have been pretty sucessful about recovering all of my backed up data and/or software. The one thing that bums me out is the situation with MS Office at the moment. I purchased it about a year ago and...

    Review AMD Ryzen 9 3900X and Ryzen 7 3700X Review: Zen 2 and 7nm Unleashed

    I think this Ryzen lineup is great and delivers awesome performance, especially in professional applications. Some people seem to be disappointed, that Ryzen 7/9 didn't beat their Intel counterparts in gaming, which was something a lot of people(myself included) didn't think was going to happen...

    Question Will an i5-4460 bottleneck a GTX 1060?

    I'm not too familiar with Devil May Cry and Bloodstained but I've played through Doom 2016 multiple times on this computer at ultra settings and it was a very smooth experience. There might have been a few rare occasions where I dropped below 60 fps however, it didn't really impact the overall...

    Question Will an i5-4460 bottleneck a GTX 1060?

    Hello, I'm actually using the said combination at the moment (i5 4460 and asus 1060 6gb) and I don't experience any bottlenecking or performance issues at 1080p. What games are you intending to play?

    Question Used x99 motherboard and 5820k for 300$/Euros. Thoughts?

    Thank you mdd for your answer! It's actually a pretty good idea to wait a month or so, until the new ryzen cpus start spreading around. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up a used 4790(k) for 150$ or less. Cheers :)

    Question Upgrading from a Haswell Refresh i5 to a used Haswell i7.

    I'm sorry for not keeping up with the thread and not responding. Thank you Electro and Solandri for your informative responses, I'll likely purchase the cpu in the coming weeks for about 80 Euros, which should be a decent deal according to you guys. As far as SSDs go, I'm already rocking one...
