Hi guys. I've decided I'm going to wait to build my PC and actually help my little sister build her own first. Please comment any build ideas for someone who's just going to play games at 1080p. We're trying to keep the build under $600. She got all A's in school so I told her I would match...

Hey, I'm not super knowledgeable about building pcs, though I've done so before (volunteer work, building basic towers for Boys and Girls club) which was why instead of building my own pc I got a prebuild (a sin, I know) two years ago when I bought a desktop. Mostly I wanted it to house all of...

Hello everyone, Whenever I try to play any game, my starting framerate is good and stable at a constant 60 FPS. However, my GPU usage spikes massively after some time, whether in a static environment or a moving scene, causing my FPS to throttle. It's like my "foot" can't get off the gas when...
