    Headphones - £150~ budget - Gamer and Casual user

    Hi all, I currently own a set of Steelseries Siberia V2's. Although they are very comfortable, I don't find the sound to be as impressive as I used to and I would like to change them for something a bit more versatile and impressive. I would be using these for PC gaming mainly with some bog...

    Online/Offline Gaming

    Stopped halfway through, thought the questions were way too repetitive and the answers were far too vague to give a positive reflection. Perhaps it's because I don't game as much as I used.

    Guild Wars 2

    Is anybody playing on Fissure of Woe? I've been playing off and on for about a year and am looking to really start playing properly again. Just constantly explore. Never 'grind' on monsters, it doesn't get you anywhere. Try to get 100% completion in each map section, if it starts getting too...

    MSI R9 270x installation troubles

    Tried on DVI and HDMI with no luck :( Tried disabling the iGPU as well. I rang OCUK and they told me I'd have to speak to MSI who aren't open on weekends so I'll have to see what they say tomorrow. I've been using it with integrated graphics and it's ok for things like GW2 but obviously...

    MSI R9 270x installation troubles

    Thanks for the advice, I've updated the bios and reinstalled the GPU making sure both connections clicked and that it was properly seated in the PCIe slot. I'm still having no luck though... Screen instantly goes back to a messed up state and as soon as I install the AMD drivers it won't boot...

    MSI R9 270x installation troubles

    I just built my new rig last night and am having issues with the graphics card. My setup is basically: Case: Aerocool Dead Silence Mobo: Asus H81m-plus Micro-atx CPU: i5-4440 Ram: Corsair vengeance LP 8gb GPU: MSI R9 270x PSU: Corsair RM550 Windows 7 When I first booted the PC I was...

    Can I use USB headset even with a soundcard?

    I recently bought an Asus Xonar DX to pair up with my new Corsair SP2500's. Everything is great but the only issue I have is that the only headset I own is a USB Siberia V2. I haven't had to use them since I got my speakers but I plan to start using them for skyping while gaming in the next...

    Corsair AF140 Leds

    Ah ok thanks guys, I had thought about a LED strip but as it's my first build I thought they might be a bit fiddly and add unnecessary cable management. I'll probably put it together and then see if I still feel it's missing something. I probably should have gone for red LED's but I thought...

    Corsair AF140 Leds

    This is a daft question but I've just ordered some AF140 led's (white) to go in the top of my first build and wondered what effect the led's will actually have? The case is a Aerocool Dead Silence (Black/Red) and I will be using it with the mesh top on show. The case also has a side window...

    Total War

    I don't think Rome 2 is that bad. I'd only played Shogun 2 before that which was also enjoyable, I just enjoy the diversity of troops in Rome 2 compared to Shogun.

    Corsair K70 RMA

    I'm fairly sure there's something on the returns policy that says after a certain period of time don't go back to the retailer but go straight to Corsair. I received a Samsung Chromebook for Christmas in 2012 and 6 months later the screen cracked for no reason and left it unusable. I rang amazon...

    Corsair K70 RMA

    I had this with Amazon when sending back my Corsair SP2500's. They gave me postage labels yet when I took it to the post office they wanted £27 to send it back. I rang Amazon straight away and they said they had to personally arrange for a courier to come to my house and that I couldn't just...

    BenQ XL2420T vs BenQ XL2411T

    Only other difference is XL2420T has the s-switch. A handy tool but not really necessary once you have the initial setup over and done with.

    R9 270x overkill for my needs?

    I've been spec'ing a build for my girlfriend as she's been PC-less for about 18 months now and she enjoys playing on my desktop PC when she comes over, particularly Guild Wars 2. The build started out as a dirt cheap £400 attempt with below-par components and has gradually crept up. I waited...

    Red Silence...

    Absolutely love this. Was looking at the DS cases for my missus's build but she was set on the White/black combo even though I originally thought she would have liked red. After seeing these pictures she's absolutely in love with the red one... Awesome job mate!

    £400-£600 on micro-atx build

    So now that Kaveri is released what do you guys think? I'm swaying towards an i3+7770 or R7 260x combo rather than an A10-7850K but would love opinions. I will need an OS as well by the way. I got all excited about that i5 build until I realised it didn't have one :(

    ***AMD Kaveri APU quick look***

    I don't know what to think of these, I waited for them as my girlfriend wants a cheap build that can do general tasks including some casual gaming (GW2 being the most intense on her list). I figured having a A10-7850k would be cheap and would be much nicer to look at inside the window compared...

    £400-£600 on micro-atx build

    I'm looking to build a small PC for my girlfriend as her laptop blew up about a year ago and she's been making do without. She'll be using it for general browsing, music, videos but also the occasional game (most demanding will probably be GW2). She's pretty set on the new Aerocool Dead...
