noob.

So I have a two year old computer and I'm looking to upgrade a little, I don't want to change the power supply- I just want to get an a-okay graphics card on this. Right now I have the AMD A-10 6700- With integrated Radeon HD graphics. This thing does 3.7GHZ so not too bad. It's got 12gb RAM...

Hello. I just finished assembling a computer with the MSI Gaming 5 and a 4790k, and I did a clean install of Windows 8.1. The MSI Z97A Gaming 7 just went on sale, so my question is if I swapped from the Z97 Gaming 5 to the Z97A Gaming 7, do you guys think I'll be able to boot with no issues? Or...

Hello, will all of us gamers running Windows 8.1 need to upgrade to Windows 10 to DX12 or will it be available on/ compatible with Windows 8.1?

So I have just logged on to see Microsoft offering the chance to reserve a copy for a free windows 10 upgrade. I am utterly useless with these things so I just wanted to ask if it is safe to proceed with this when the OS is released without having compatibility issues with my current hardware...

Many times when I start my computer I notice some sluggishness in the display an I check the device manager I see that the driver for my GPU is not recognized. nVidia Experience is not launched too. And when I launch it tells me there's a new update. So I wonder if this is something that nVidia...

I am building a new gaming rig. I want to be able to play every game on the market and coming out in the next few years at maximum or very close to maximum settings 1080p without dipping below 50fps very often. Hopefully an average of 60fps. I already know I'm getting an MSI atx board, FX-8350...

Hey people, I just finished building my new PC, my first build ever, I am super excited to turn it on! I just need to install the CPU cooler and I am done. I will use the same SSD and HDDs I have, so I am wondering, should I reinstall Windows 7 or not? I was thinking of removing the GPU driver...

I'm having trouble deciding between 2 laptops, one has one has a Intel i7 4510u dual core and a nvidia g 840m 4gb. The other has a amd fx 7500 and an r7 m260 2gb Which would be better for gaming frame rates and everyday use. I want to have at least gta v on low which i know the 840 m can do but...

Sorry, didn't really know what to title this. Every time I turn on my pc, I have to go to internet, and remove my wifi network from my remembered networks. I then go to sign into WiFi, but I HAVE to press the WPS button every time and sometimes it takes up to 5 tries until it connects. I haven't...

I'm hoping to get 60fps on most games on high-maxed settings. The biggest thing I'm hoping for is to be able to run GTA V on max settings, 1080p, at 60FPS. Should I upgrade to a better CPU, or will not be worth it. Will I be able to run GTA5 60fps with my setup? CPU: FX 8350 @4.7 GPU: MSI...

I just replaced an old motherboard and processor with an AMD FX 8320 processor on a Gigabyte 970A-DS3P board. My PSU is a corsair 650W. When I installed it first in the case the cors temp was 22c idle and 28c under load with the AMD stock cooler, I didn't have Gigabyt drivers installed at the...

Ever since I installed everything on the graphics card, it has not shown the colour red. Everything is installed correctly and the cords are tight. I have tried with VGA and DVI. Can someone help me?

Hey! I have a question. Yesterday I changed up my fan settings to make it spin at it's lowest level when the temperature goes up to +40C. And most of the time, when I'm browsing and programming the temperature is at +40C and that makes the fan run almost constantly. Is that bad for the fan? Thanks!

Hi everyone. I have an itch to upgrade my system, and at the moment, my backing storage is the main bottleneck. I am relatively competent with PC systems, but would like a bit of guidance. I want to set up a RAID of SSDs to mount my OS and frequently used programs and games on, while keeping...

I have a dual gtx 970 config with a 5820k. I need a monitor. I was wondering if a 4k or 1440p monitor would be better - they are pretty much the same price for a good one over here in Australia (~$500)

I have an AOC g2460pg monitor that's 3D capable (as well as a blu-ray player and necessary software), and I figured I might as well take advantage of it. Currently have the monitor connected to GPU with Display Port, and I want to make sure that Display Port can handle 3D signals for...

Every now and then I need to boot the computer twice. Now the mouse and usb hard drive was not found, before I rebooted. I guess this means that my 6 year old psu is failing. I would like to get a new PSU with "aircraft style connectors"* so that I could just unattach the modular cables from...

Will it Blend?!?!?!?! Haha just kidding... So before you say no because the CM 110 is compatible as it says up to a 210mm GPU, I have looked at countless videos, pages of information and I will link some for furthering your decision. Size of the Card: on Newegg and on Amazon the Evga FTW is...

Hi all, Been looking for ways to get more performance for less money on my first gaming desktop build. Link below. My plan was to get a lesser cpu/gpu and overclock them rather than buying say an i5 4690k and a gtx770 or better Goals are to run COD AW, black flag, titanfall, bf4 etc at 30+ fps...

I bought my Asus rog swift just over a month ago, and have sadly just now found a defective pixel. This is extremely confusing to me though, because on a black, red, yellow, orange screen, it will show as a very bright green, on a white, dark blue, or other colored image, it'll show as black...

Hey guys. I have been using this monitor for the past year and when I reconnected it there's some strange white/grayish color difference in the bottom left corner. I've attached a picture of it so you guys can see what I'm talking about. I don't wanna take it to a monitor repair and pay some...

Hi, about a week ago I bought a EVGA gtx 970. I installed it and got the most recent drivers from NVIDIA GeForce experience. When playing games ill be getting great frames, but they frequently go from 80 to 20 or 30s and then go back up. This happens quite often in games like Shadow of Mordor...

Hello, to start off I am looking to upgrade to a GTX 970 but the problem is I have a AMD 8150fx 3.6ghz processor and I am scared it might bottleneck the GTX 970.

Hello guys I am planning to build a computer, and collecting parts for it. So far I've got 8 GB Corsair memory, Geforce GTX 760 (MSI Twin Razr), Samsung 840 Evo 120 GB SSD and 2 TB Seagate Barracuda inside Silverstone ML07. Now the problem is selecting a CPU. I am under a budget and I thought of...

I bought the Samsung 840 EVO SSD but it came with nothing but the SSD and a CD. It says you need a SSD to USB adapter things and I need a cable to connect it to the motherboard. What kind of cable do I need.

I'm pretty new to customizing computers (pretty much anything in-depth), but from what I understand a Graphics card is a PCB with RAM, a CPU, and a BIOS chip. Is there not a way to convert a spare laptop i have into an external GPU for my main laptop? Thanks in advance for any help.
