    Monitor recommendations? - 27” IPS 144Hz+ 1ms Response Time (G-Sync compatible) - £300-450 *Not Asus

    Cheers. Just been gaming on it. Love it. Night and day difference from old LED monitor I had. The colours and clarity are eye-opening.

    Monitor recommendations? - 27” IPS 144Hz+ 1ms Response Time (G-Sync compatible) - £300-450 *Not Asus

    That is an awesome setup! Was a display port cable included in the box or will I need to buy one?

    Monitor recommendations? - 27” IPS 144Hz+ 1ms Response Time (G-Sync compatible) - £300-450 *Not Asus

    Thanks for taking the time to write this. The specs for the monitor look good, but it seemed too good to be true at £250, and, like you said, not many reviews yet. I'll pick one up tomorrow hopefully, largely to play Warzone!

    Upgrading from a 3770K...

    Hello, obviously from the title I'm running a pretty old CPU now and I use my PC for gaming (Warzone and maybe the next Battlefield and other FPS) only at standard HD currently, but would like to go for slightly higher res and a faster refresh monitor in due course (I also do a bit in Lightroom...

    Buyers remorse already

    I would have tried for the 2600/2700k and dropped it into your existing motherboard - As others have said.

    Recommend a psu for small system

    After much deliberation and getting my matx board into the Corsair 350D I decided on the compact Corsair RM 650X - with 10 year warranty it'll be powering a single powerful GPU or possible lower-end SLI / Crossfire setup for many years to come. Thanks for all the advice.

    Why I have switched to cheap motherboards

    Makes sense.. Especially with Intel changing sockets so frequently it makes little sense for most users who won't use the features and won't be able to keep the board through generations of cpus that might make it worthwhile to buy a more expensive board.

    Only 7 year warranty with the 650x according to ocuk page.

    Recommend a psu for small system

    That's a good point and yes, can't see me wanting to replace it for a long time as I'd never go above 2 gpus and more likely to stay with one - and gpus are getting less power hungry anyway.

    Recommend a psu for small system

    I think I'm going for one - either the 650w or 750w. Thanks for the suggestions / advice.

    Upgrade options from 3770K - June 2016

    I have a 3770k and am in the process of moving it to a matx board and making it last another few years. I'll wait and see how zen turns out - and that's probably not going to make me upgrade either. PC working fine with this cpu.

    Reviews certainly seem to think so!

    Recommend a psu for small system

    The EVGA G2 650W seems like a good option - the 550W unit only seems to be about £5 cheaper elsewhere so makes sense to get the extra 100w for that price.

    Recommend a psu for small system

    I've bought a Corsair 350D - so not a small, small case - if you know what I mean!

    Recommend a psu for small system

    Thanks, but the trouble is I'll get less than that for my current psu so it'll cost me to move to lower wattage!

    Recommend a psu for small system

    Moving to a matx case and currently have a Superflower 1200w platinum that is complete overkill. I have a Sniper M3 z77 motherboard, 3770k, 16gb ram, a grx 970, 2 ssds, 2 hard disks, corsair h100 and a blue ray drive. What sort of wattage would I need - I expect to only ever have one gpu...

    Which Sony Mirrorless

    A thread about Sony cameras no less! Interestingly, Sony are the weakest in terms of amount of native lenses available so they avoided getting drawn into that argument by creating amazing Mirrorless cameras and saying: please feel free to mount every lens ever made. I'm certainly trying.

    Which Sony Mirrorless

    I have had a few Sony Mirrorless cameras (Nex 5N. A6000 and A7ii). I now use manual legacy glass exclusively and I couldn't be happier. Currently use A6000 for wildlife as it has extra reach with crop factor, and A7ii for wide angle / walkabout camera.
