Hi, Just wondering what sets apart some SSDs from others in terms of different brands and models? I know the Samsung 860 Evo is meant to be the best, but I don't know why? Also, what's the difference, for example, between the WD Blue and Green offerings? Finally - is there any difference...

Should i buy the gtx 1050 ti or gtx 1060 3gb variant. I am just not certain if the 3gb variant will hold up in the future cause of those 3 gb of Vram. Maybe it's better to buy the 1050ti and a better,more expensive power supply unit and overclocking the 1050ti. What do you guys think what should...

My computer turns on, fans lights etc. My monitor will cycle through vga and dvi and then says no signal. And I know it’s not my monitor because I have connected it to 3 laptops and it’s worked fine. But until the last couple days, if I would turn my computer off and on multiple times atleast...

Someone may have already answered this question but I’ll ask it anyways, should I get the gtx 1070 right now for around $550 new ($400 used) Or wait for Volta so the price will get a major bump. If I waited I could also upgrade my cpu it an i5 8600k Or something. I know Volta won’t be cheap...

They occur anywhere from 3 hours of use or 47 minutes, I've gone longer without any sort of freeze though.

I am in the process of making a dual Xeon plex server. The motherboard booted fine multiple times, just by switching on the psu. I booted Linux mint from a usb stick and started to install. The process got stuck on the 3rd step after waiting for 24 hours. So I shut down the system and was going...

She mentioned her budget is around $500 and that the main game her daughter would play is mine craft. I haven't played the game so I don't know much about what...

Basically what it mentions in the title. It's worth noting I currently have the i7-4790 with H81-E33. The motherboard is very limited, so I would potentially need to upgrade that. I have the option to purchase a great-value PC, including the i7-3930k and P9X79 Pro - along with more RAM and a...

I'm having trouble getting power to my GPU. I have the corsair 850i psu but when I connect my two 6+2 pins and boot the pc I'm not getting anything out of the card. No fan spinning or display to my monitor. Any ideas?
