gaming computer

I need to figure out what system I need that could be upgraded over time. Like buying a cheap budget gaming rig and upgrade from there. I got a budget of 135 to 200 and I need to know what rig is going to be good in the long run?

Ok so essentially, all of my drives are full, and I am not completely sure why. The HDD is a drive that I have had since around 2013 when I originally build my PC and my SSD is about 4 or 5 years old. I don't really keep any important files or pictures on my computer and as far as I can tell...

Hello, I want to build a mid-range budget gaming computer that will be able to run most current games on high to ultra settings while keeping good frame rates, also, something that will be "future-proof" and that will be able to run next generation games without a problem at least in medium to...

Looking to upgrade my pc, I was thinking about buying a new graphics card or processor (or RAM etc. if needed). Current setup is: Asus STRIX GTX950 DC2OC 2GB GPU AMD FX-6300 3.5Ghz 6-core CPU MSI 970A-G43 motherboard Kingston 8Gb DDR3 RAM Chieftec 600W 80+ PSU Will gladly hear any suggestions...

Hey just wondering how this computer would do running games like Csgo, Fortnite & BattleField Running two monitors at 1080p 144hz. Might do light streaming as well as it will be a workstation. CPU: I5-9600k GPU: Gigabyte 2070 Super RAM: 32gb CORSAIR 3200mhz DRIVES: 2tb WD Blue 1tb 860 evo...

Hi, I recently got a new xbox controller for my computer to play some games, and i spilled a little bit of iced coffee onto the d-pad and i’m worried it will damage my gaming computer and damage the xbox controller. i wiped off as much iced coffee off the controller (just a few drops) and i...

I checked other posts where this was adressed, but with different components, and i couldnt find a solution. So i'll give it a go: Will the following fit together? like, will there be enough space for the ram with this cooler? RAM:G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory...

I know that this was always recommended in the past, but I can't find any recent information as to whether this still holds true. Five years ago, I believe the big concern was the space restore points would take up on an SSD (especially for those without data drives). I just installed a 512 GB...

Ok, I'll start by saying I want to make a system that will mainly use memory ram (64GB is what I need) for simulation purposes (not 3d simulations). I'll be overclocking my system in the future. I own the Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor so my system chosen so far is : 1.CPU : Intel...

Can anyone suggest me the best rig for programming (Windows Application) and would i7 6700k would be a good choice for it?

Howdy, I just built a new PC and I've been trying to find some white sleeved cables for my GPU to match the rest of my color scheme. I purchased a 6 to 8 (6+2) pin PCIe cable thinking that it was 8 to 8 pin. I was wondering would this cable work with my 980ti GPU, or would there be a downside...
