So my old thread was answered and now some stuff has come up and my budget has been cut. Originally I was going to be getting a Z97-A motherboard, Xeon 1231v3, Asus pb287q. It would be nice setup but now that I think about it I don't want to reinstall windows 10 on a ew motherboard and lose...

Hi, how do I go about doing this? Can I boot into windows and do a fresh install with the new motherboard in or would that mess something up? In that case do I have to create a bootable usb and use it instead of booting into my old install to do a fresh install? Thanks

I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7. Windows 7 ran fast, played games , and worked. I upgraded to Windows 10 because others were saying "If you love Windows 7 you'll love Windows 10!" also because of DirectX12. So I install Windows 10, I was very excited :) everything looked...

Checked task-manager, says I'm at 50% of my 16GB of RAM. Counted the memory being used by processes, and that's only about 1.2GB. Is it normal that 6.8GB is counted but not being used? (Edit) Forgot to mention that I have done malware and virus scans, no results. Consistently so, the only thing...

I have recently bought a new monitor to go with my pc and I want to use the old one for my PS4. My monitor is the Acer S220HQL 1080p monitor. I will be using a HDMI to DVI adapter. Would there be any problems with using my monitor?

I'm looking into buying an r9 390 gpu.. My question is, what's the best brand in terms of temperatures? I'm tempted to buy the gigabyte g1 version because its avaliable and priced best at the moment at 388 euro's. Other versions avaliable are Asus and Msi but they are atleast 30 to 50 euro's...

I'm thinking of upgrading my current GTX 590 to a 970, specifically the EVGA GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0x. Will my i5-2500k, which I overclocked to 4.5 Ghz, hold back the performance of the new 970? I've read similar posts claiming that such an upgrade is perfectly good and there will be no bottleneck...
