I have a a part that I know has something to do with my CPU, I'm just not sure where it goes/how its fitted. (Picture below) the hole in the middle is smaller than my cpu by a large margin. I seems like it should go on the back of the motherboard, right behind the CPU, but the the way the...

Hello there! I'm planning on building a gaming pc over the summer or later in the year, mainly for the oculus rift. While I know that the recommended specs are relatively easy to meet, (i5 4590 and GTX 970), I feel that a build of that type would not be able to run most games at the 2160x1200...

So far my i3 has been sufficient for gaming but since there are finally coming out some new titles like gta 5 where 4 core i5's provide something like +20-30% fps increase I am looking for a minor and cheap upgrade. Since I don't plan on upgrading my MB I am looking for used i5's. I am being...

So I recently bought the "HAWK R9 270x" GPU and a 650W PSU and placed them into the correct spots in my PC. When I boot up my PC I get 3 beeps and the fans and lights come on. i have found that 3 beeps means there is a problem with the RAM so I reseated both of my 4 GB sticks and tried removing...

Hi there, I stupidly bought a 125gb SSD for my C drive, thinking it would be enough. It's now completely full, what would be the easiest fix for this? Hopefully without having to reinstall windows? I would of course buy a new drive. Thanks, Charles

So i'm getting ready to buy a new processor and mobo. everything else will be compatible but i have a question. The HDD i'm using now is a SATA 2 3GB/s and the motherboard i'm getting now has 6x SATA 6GB/s will it still work on the new MOBO or do i need to look for something else?

Hey, all! I'm building a budget mITX PC with a total cost of ~700$ US. (I hope). I went with an Intel i5 4670 and an MSI Z97-I Gaming AC mobo, but that put me over my budget. Does anyone have any ideas for a good replacement from AMD that can lower the cost? I'd also appreciate it if you could...

So I've just assemble my pc and every time I get it to boot it black screens in the BIOS after about 30s. At first i thought it was caused by inserting my usb stick with windows, because the first two times it black screened shortly after I put it in. But now it black screens roughly 30s after a...

I'll be building a gaming PC in a couple of weeks, and I'd rather not spend money on a GTX 770 this time around. However, in about a year, I will be able to upgrade my graphics card to something potentially even better than the 770. My question is, until then (probably next August), will my 760...

■ So I just bought a new graphics card (Nvidia Geforce gt 630) and installed it, but I'm not getting any video signal. So I took it out and put the old card (I believe radeon 5450 hd or something) back in. The old card is not giving any video display now either. I also cannot use onboard...
