Had to stump up £150 for a new battery the other week (thankfully not new enough to require and AGM one) so went with for a Varta Silver with a 5 year guarantee. The engine had been a bit sluggish to fire up and just wouldn't restart one day after a short journey and being switched off for about...

If it's the most recent Sapphire Vega 64 sale then that was mine. Certainly shocked me to see where it ended up! I was offered £350 as soon as the auction went live last Sunday which I would have taken but because someone bid straight away it took away the option to submit a best offer. It was...

Managed to get a MSI 3060Ti Gaming X Trio at the end. The PNY would fit in so many more cases that I am considering but £30 for that massive cooler and the factory OC seemed like good value to my mind. Looking forward to the upgrade from my Sapphire Nitro+ Vega 64 that I also got from OCUK just...

Picked up this CLS63 almost a fortnight ago and still in the honeymoon period. Signed up to take it to Deutsche Fest at Brands Hatch on 7th July - anyone else going along?

I'm intrigued to see what they can achieve with the card as the drivers mature and you can properly control the card in the software. Given how much the documented cost of HBM is contributing towards the unit price I do wonder what sort of cost saving could have been made with GDDR6 and the...

Got to say I've been pleased with my Sapphire Nitro Vega 64 but I'm not sure how it stacks up to others as I've not gone for a maximum clocks attempt yet. Undervolted and overclocked at 50% power limit got HBM P3 and core P4 to P7 all set at 950mv. Memory is stable at 1020mhz, P7 set at 1582mhz...

Mine turned up today which will go nicely with the 1440P 144Hz freesync display that turned up yesterday. Glad to be back on the red team with such a quality piece of equipment. I had an R9 290 back when they came out that lasted me for ages and then moved on to a 980Ti which has been rock...

1080P 980TI @ Stock - Afterburner wasn't working for me but GPUZ sensor log has core boosting to 1189-1202MHz and memory rock solid at 1752 4670K @ 4.2 (Got a 4790K on its was as an upgrade that was too cheap to pass up) 411.70 Drivers

I have the same size tyres on my Ibiza and went with Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2s as they were about £80/tyre fitted at the time. Grip is good overall and only poor driving gets them spinning. Something mid-range like a Kuhmo Ecsta PS71 (£65/tyre fitted) or Avon ZZ5 (£71/tyre fitted) should be more...

This is the case I used last year for my mum's pc: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-081-ZA&groupid=2362&catid=736 PSU intake is filtered and the mesh up either side of the front help to keep most of the dust out and with the SSD mounted down low you can hide excess PSU...

Old (NZXT Source Elite 210) and new (AeroCool Dead Silence) together during the upgrade + downsize transplant over Christmas.

Sell as much of it as you can before leaving and it plummeting in value. Also remember that the warranties will expire while you are away. Buy new equipment when you get back that will be warrantied and more up to date.

R9 290 + 4670K (both with mild overclocks) with 2HDDs and 1SSD on 500W here. I agree with Fulax, 650W should be plenty for OP with some headroom.

How about this for a more rounded build. Dropped down one notch on the CPU, up one the GPU and grabbed a more reliable PSU: YOUR BASKET 1 x HIS Radeon R9 270X IceQ BOOST 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £149.99 1 x AMD Piledriver FX-6 Six Core 6300 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+)...

It can take 2 drives in the removable bays at the bottom of the case and another 1 drive located up in the external 3.5" slot at the top.

With a single graphics card installed in the top PCI-E slot you still have a lot of clearance between the GPU and the case. Use the front fan to blow air into the case and put two extra fans in the top to take hot air out if you are that concerned. I have a reference AMD R9 290 so use the two...

Mine is reasonably aggressive to avoid any throttling but I've never seen it above 80C/60%.

Easy to do if I've read this correctly (you've got £300 left, right?). PSU, Motherboard, CPU Cooler, Hard Drive, Optical Drive and Case. YOUR BASKET 1 x Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 AMD 970 (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard £79.99 1 x Toshiba 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6GB/s 32MB Cache - OEM (DT01ACA200) HDD...

Freeview HD in the UK is on the DVB-T2 standard. The card mentioned above will not reveive Freeview HD transmissions. Cards that support this standard are reasonably expensive and start around £90 for a dual tuner version. Given that you have Sky in place you could use a DVB-S2 card and use...

YOUR BASKET 1 x Intel Core i3-4130 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £89.99 1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £86.99 1 x TeamGroup Elite Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TED38GM1600HC11DC01) £56.99 1 x Asus H81M-K...
