100%. you need to be in the house you are going to stay in to reap the benefits. solar has gone through the roof in price recently too, because of demand and raw material cost. The future seems to be (don't quote me on this, it's just me theory) an air source heat pump with smart cylinder paired...

Sadly it seems the only way to save money is to spend money on upgrades. I work in the sector and it's a nightmare at the minute. If you have money, you can save. Install PV Solar, heat pumps, smart cylinder (my area). But lets be honest that's for the few not the many.

I was extremely lucky about 9/10 years ago to win one of these PSU's in a competition and it's been faultless in all that time. But, is it going to cope with a planned upgrade to i5 12600k paired with a 3090 or 3090ti? I'd imagine it'll be fine, enough power, enough connections , 80 PLUS Gold...

As a plumber by trade, i have to applaud your neat pipework :D

Am I right in thinking that Windows is registered to the MoBo nowdays? (probs always has been ). I'm thinking of a new build but using my existing HDD's and it's been a while !

love the look of the O11 case, i'd be curious to see pics once you've built this. I'm considering it for my next build.

Have to agree with the PSU comment, 650w Gold would give you me piece of mind.

I'll be honest, it's probably me just remembering the one combat score and getting grumpy

i'm enjoying it, there's few bits of annoyance but thats the same for all games imo. I love the setting, the dirtiness of NC etc. Annoyed I cant get into more buildings though but i think what would i do when in there?. Major annoyance for me, is the same music on every battle/fight. Or am i...

Late to the party here. But yeah 40yr old Gamer here. Purely PC gaming though, don't own a console.

Might be slightly of centre for an answer but The sea grass ones are pretty good for wheeled chairs. Dense and relatively stiff material. I've had one for a wee while and it's been ok. Not great looking though

i'm scared to death of spiking new components. But is was lucky enough to have 'borrowed' an anti static mat, wrist strap etc from my old job (20yrs ago), still use it now when fiddling with elctronics.

I just fitted one of these on my new i5 rig and had a few issues fitting it, it's complicated and fiddly but a brilliant cooler (I fitted a second fan to mine too. Maybe mine was the 'updated' version, but here's what I did:. It does fit, just in a very difficult way. There are 2 types of...

Im a real fan of AsRock boards, had them in the past and never had an issue. On the other hand, i did have a bad experience with a giga board a few years ago and it put me off. On the psu, it was on offer, good reviews and again, previous good experiences. And, it'll look cool!!. :D

ok everyrone, i've ordered this little lot. YOUR BASKET 1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £167.99 1 x ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £125.99 1 x XFX 850W XXX Edition Modular '80 Plus Silver' Power Supply £92.99...

That'll do nicely sir. Just checked and it's Sli ready. Looks like, Im all set. Just got to get things organised at my end and i'll be ordering (when all is in stock). thanks everyone

Aye the RAM will fit, I watched a review online were they managed to cram some Corsair Vengeance in, the patriot is a lower profile. That PSU IS lovely, but, it's pushing up my budget, which im trying to keep under control. Im happy with all the other bits, but the PSU needs to be £80 max...

What psu would you recommend in that price range? Id like to go Sli in the future and modular isnt an essential due to the case having good routing options. I've looked at the MoBo over and over, but I've had AsRock before and really REALLY like them. Never had an issue. Good call on the...

I'm baaaack !! thanks for all your replies I've done a bit of tweeking. Sticking with the MoBo/GPU due to previous experiences with AsRock and KFA2 Case is now the windowed version Gone with the recommended ssd hdd, Changed the RAM down to 8GB but up to 2133Mhz Different cooler for CPU and an...

aye, that'll be the plan. I'll leave the stuff I have on the Exisiting HDD and put any new stuff on the SSD. I can always buy another one in the future can't I?. I was gonna ask about using HD tv's as monitors too to utilise the Hdmi output of the GPU, is it worth it (I have a 27" Viera LED I...
