Looking at getting a 1TB SSD for game space, i was looking at the 850 EVO 1TB, but then noticed there was an 860 EVO for $80 more. Do you think it's worth the extra $80 over the 850? Thanks.

As the title states, my cooler is pressing against the side panel slightly, exerting a small amount of pressure. I have a new fan on the way that'll fix this problem (it's thinner, so the ram won't push it up towards the case like this one). Just wanna know if it's safe to have it pressing...

Building a PC for my mum that she'll be using to edit photos, and i'm wondering if a GPU is something i should be getting aswell. She won't be doing any heavy editing, it'll mostly just be adding filters and basic effects around family photos. If i do need a GPU, would something like the GT...

I recently purchased a 1440/165hz monitor for my new PC, and i'm going to get a 1080ti to go along with it. How long do you think it would last at this resolution and refresh rate? I'm obviously not expecting to be hitting 1440/165 in brand new AAA titles, but i'd like to be hitting at least...

So i recently got the viewsonic 1440/165hz IPS G-sync display, and i'm blown away by how perfect it is. Great colors, no dead pixels, and very little BLB that isn't visible unless on a pure black screen in a dark room. I'm just a little scared to fiddle with any settings in case i break...

So i built a 7700k/1080 machine recently, with plans on upgrading to a 1440/144hz ips monitor after a couple weeks. After browsing around /r/monitors, it seems like the general consensus is that 1440/144hz ips monitors are all garbage, and i'm a "moron" for even considering getting one, so there...

So i've gotten heavily into gaming the past couple years, and i've got a pretty neat gaming setup for myself. High end PC, High end monitors, all the modern consoles etc. The thing is though, it actually looks quite bad because i have all this modern hardware on some tiny crap worn down wooden...

I've had my 1080/7700k build for a while now, but it's been held back by my 1080@75hz monitor. Even more so considering my three biggest games; CS:GO, Rocket League, and overwatch all reach 165fps easily. My only concern is that i've heard the QC on these panels is bad at best, and terrible at...

I'm looking for a 1440/165hz monitor, and i'm trying to decide between these two: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824116827 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824106004 They're listed as the same price, but in Australia the Acer Predator costs $100...

It turns out there was a windows defender notification popping, but it too was just running as a background process. Ending that notification got the game to start. No idea why but whatever.

So i'm trying to play Vietcong (mostly for nostalgic reasons) but the thing simply refuses to open. What has me really confused is that the game actually starts up, but as a background process... http://imgur.com/a/RJebu Why on earth would a game start as a background process? I've tried...
