Hi! I will be building my first machine from scratch in a few days and was curious if I should get a 850w or a 1000w psu. I think 850 would be enough but wanted to double check what others thought.
So far what im looking at is:
Corsair Obsidian 800d
i7 2600k
GTX 580
8-16g ram (not sure if i...
Over the past few months every time I start my start my PC up after being completely switched off the PSU will start making a loud motor sound which doesn't go away unless I nudge or hit the PC. However this sound doesn't appear when the computer starts up after being in sleep mode or when...
What would be the best projector to get for gaming and movies for like 300-800$. And would it be better to get a TV? And maby a good brand of a projector screen that will hold up good?
Thanks in advance!
I have an old gateway I am upgrading for my grandparents for x-mas. I have built 2 AMD models and upgraded a compaq laptop with an intel cpu to a dual core but have never built an Intel build. So what I have to work with is a gateway with DDR for ram, the cpu is an Intel Pentium 4 2.8ghz 512 kb...
okok i'm trying to remain calm here.
Today, I stupidly flicked the switch at the back of the power supply from 230 to 115 volts not knowing what it was at the time. I turned my computer on and it then turned off. The PSU made a small noise but no smoke or anything came out. The computer doesnt...

Hello everyone,
I'm tired of cables and looking for a wireless mouse and a keyboard. I do prefer logitech but I don't want to spend to much money. I'm looking for great ergonomics, for both mouse and keyboard. Keyboard should have some extra keys, maybe some multimedia keys. Battery...
Hello,
Firstly, excuse my english skills. (thank you)
I have a problem with the CPU temperature. Since I installed Windows 7, the temperature of the notebook is quite high. But when I used Windows XP, or Vista, the temperature has been just ok.
I decided to use W7, thinking that if I do...

Hi all
I have recently moved from win xp to win 7 ultimate 64. Since then my power supply acts weirdly. Every now and then it makes a noise like its about to switch off, but nothing happens (no errors, nothing hangs, no blue screen etc.). So I ghosted back my old win xp and it worked without...

I currently own the Dell 170L tower and I was wondering if I can upgrade the CPU to a 3.2 gHz. I know that it uses a Socket 478 and I was wondering that if any socket 478 will work on this motherboard or will I only be able to upgrade upto 2.8 gHz? I currently have a Celeron 2.4 gHz processor...
Hey all thanks for stopping by:
I have a Lexmark X4530 that apparently installs fine on my Windows 7 Home Premium Box. When I try and print though I get a message that says there is no printer driver installed. I have uninstalled the printer and driver completely, reinstalled the printer and...

Intel Core i5-750 2.66ghz

or
AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4ghz

If you say one is better for gaming, could you explain why.

I want to use that PSU with this system:
Phenom x4 955BE
M4N72-E
GTX 260
3x SATA HDD (500GB each)
2x 120mm LED fans case fans
LG DVD/CD Writer
Would that run everything ok? I don't really want to pay any more than £50 for a PSU if I can get away with it.
I already purchased the i7-950, but I'm allowed to return it as long as it's unopened. However, I was told that the i5-750 or i5-760 is the better processor for gaming. If it doesn't sacrifice any processing power, I'm all for it. If the i5-700 series are actually better for gaming, I prefer the...
I have an Intel Core 2 Quad with 4 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce9600 on Windows 7 Ultimate. Lately when I'm playing games the monitor would go off and show the "digital", "analog" like you just turned it on without the CPU. However, the CPU is still running. The speakers would also put out stuck...
I I have a power supply and motherboard that both use the 4pin power for the cpu. But i am getting the HAF X next week and it comes with an 8pin cpu power cable extension. would it work if i just plug the 4 pin cable into 4 of the pins on the 8pin extension and plug 4 of the pins on the 8 pin...
Hello,
First post here. A friend recommended me here so here I go... I have a Dell Dimension 4700 desktop and my default sound card is the Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS. The sound card is currently causing crackling noises to go through my speakers. I read that the crackling is a common thing...
Needs to run 2 gtx 460's 4GB of 1600mhz DDR3 ram and an OC 4ghz x4 965 (BE so 125w) plus leave a bit of breathing room for full load and fans etc.
I was thinking 800w but psus are probably the bit of a computer I understand the least about.
first remember i'm crazy gammer on my ps3... now i want to build home gammer pc...

Please don't suggest I build it myself. I don't have the time, or the bravery to tackle that. I am building a computer on Cyberpower or customizing an Alienware Aurora on Dell.com. Please give me your unbiased opinion of my choices. The difference is the Aurora has a pretty case, a blu-ray...

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ (Windsor)
4gb ddr2 corsair

I am working on a pc currently that was experiencing very very slow response time. I reloaded Windows XP only to find it is still so slow it is unusable. I have swapped in a new HD, swapped ram chips with no effect. I notice the CPU usage is pegged at 100%. Nothing I do changes it. What should I...

As my computer turns 2 years old, I'm starting to have upgrade thoughts.
Is there any processor right now that can run twice as fast as a stock Q6600 without overclocking? Assume the programs I run can fully take advantage of all the cores in the CPU.
Alright, I finally got my HTPC built (Core i3, Gigabyte H55M-S2H). The board has Realtek's ALC888B audio chipset and I have it connected to my 5.1 reciever via optical cord. Every time I try to watch a video with DTS or AC3 sound, it skips/cuts out to the point of unwatchability. I've been...
Hello,
I got the digi 003 console so I hear audio thru the mixer. When I play sound from the windows media player I can hear but I cannot hear audio from internet explorer. How can I fix this?
What im looking to do is hook my pc up to an old CRT television so that I get both audio and video output from the television. Is this the cable im looking for?
