My friend wanted to play overwatch on pc, but he didn't have a capable system. He wanted to buy a 600 dollar "gaming" laptop, but I persuaded him to build a desktop himself and that I would help him. Is this a good pc for that budget? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K89p7h

I have recently put an old C2Q 6600 CPU back in use with a new mobo for the purposes of getting a friend into PC gaming on the cheap. However I hit one snag, the dreaded BSOD. Unfortunately I don't have the specific crash codes, and I haven't been able to force one in a while, but I was able to...

I have a friend who is selling his GTX 980s because he is upgrading to a GTX 1080 Ti. He offered me a 980 for $300. Should I go for it or buy an RX480 8GB? My main concern with the 980 is that it only has 4GB of VRAM. I would likely keep the card for at least 2 years if I buy it and I'm sure...
