upgrade

I built an average budget build during 2020 (worst time, I know). With all these new games coming out, this budget build can't handle it anymore. I've decided that it's finally time to upgrade. I was a little stingy on some parts where I think it would be alright. Let me know what you guys...

Hope I can get some clarity on this. I'm currently building a new PC and I'm selling this current laptop (in my signature). I want to transfer my SSD from laptop to my new PC, with the OS on it, but wasn't sure if the OS would also stay on my laptop for when I sell it. I assume not, but just...

I have seen people constantly talk over the internet about how you "should" pair good GPU with a good CPU, which in my opinion, over the long years of gaming, is becoming so hilarios that I start to think they don't even know the fundamentals or what they are talking. So here's the thing. There...

I've had this build for some years now, it was top of the line during the time of purchase however I feel like it's becoming more and more outdated now. On newer games, I find myself turning most graphic settings to medium, lowering the resolution to 1080p and shadows to the lowest, and I cant...
