https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Qv7wnn All I'm really wanting from this build is the ability to play most games in 40-60fps in games such as Skyrim, GTA 5, L4D2, and The Witcher 3. I've changed the parts in this build multiple times, but I think this may be the final product, that is, if you think...

Hi everyone I am picking up a GTX 1080ti within the next couple of weeks, going with the EVGA aftermarket as they have never let me down in the past in terms of quality. Looking at both of these cards (see below) there is a nice price difference for the triple fan and I was wondering if this...

Hi, i would like to ask if it can damage the razer mouse if i lift it due to lack of mousepad and drop it again in the other side, the one that makes sound. (Rzer abbysusv2)

I upgraded from an r9 380 strix to a GTX 1070 strix oc and it worked fine for the first few days but it slowly starts getting worse and worse. I've had to drop my scaling and graphics down everyday I play the game and it only still gets about 30fps average. Specs: i5 6600k 1070 Strix OC 16gb Ram...

I'm looking for the most quiet fans possible that also have good airflow. I would appreciate if the fans are either full black, or black and white. Please don't recommend me corsair SP/AF fans because I've went through many of them and they make alot of noise. Thank you!

So obviously based on speculation of the GTX 1050 TI specs. Which is more "bang for the buck" in this situation for 1080P gaming. I hear GTA 5 uses 3gb across the board for 1080P gaming which really kinda kills the 1060 imo. What do you think is the better buy? 1050 TI 4gb or 1060 3gb.

Will a msi gtx 1060 work in an ASUS M52AD-Xtreme? or is it too small or somethin like that
