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...

Hey everyone, I have been really struggling to get my PC to perform the way I want it to and the way it should. I have decently good specs, but when I want to play certain games they stutter like crazy with FPS being fine and then suddenly dropping to 10 then going back up. It becomes...

Hi, I previously posted a thread a few years back about going through a potential PC upgrade. To cut the story short I never upgraded and continued to use my PC and work macbook as normal as it suited me. Now, to cut to today, my PC is starting to fail. It's always beeping (6-7 beeps) on start...

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for some years now, it was top of the line during the time of purchase however I feel like it's becoming more and more outdated now.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...

Over the past couple of years, I've been slowly adding and replacing parts in my gaming PC without ever doing a full rebuild just to keep it up to date. I'm at that point again and the one part that I have never really looked at twice was the PSU. The current PSU hasn't shown any visible issues...

My self-build PC is now nearly 5 years old. It's running ok, but I'm getting itchy for an upgrade. Partly to see if I can make a noticeable improvement, partly just for fun! A lot has happened in that time and I haven't kept up with the latest tech, so if you had this system, would you upgrade...
