    Reinstalling Windows 7 - How can I effectively transfer some programs over?

    I have only my one SSHD and some USBs lying around. Is it possible to just throw the program files into the USBs and then place the files into the fresh install and have them work? Hope this doesn't seem too confusing.

    I have an iTX form factor computer (I will list links to the parts on newegg for reference), but currently my intake fans are 2 from my GPU and one that runs through the CPU radiator. The consequence is that unless I force the CPU fan to run in overdrive, it is hard to get cool air into the...

    AX860 vs RM1000X

    Hi guys, for a SLI 980Ti OC'd, and i5 4670k (4.4ghz), build, which would be best? RM1000X vs AX860? My AX850 is faulty I believe so Corsair will replace it for me. Should I sell the replacement (AX860) and get a RM1000X for my new build? I am in the UK and the RM1000X is about £140.
