    8700k worth an upgrade?

    I know the general idea is only to upgrade when you feel you need an upgrade but there's some cracking prices out there atm on 5700x/5800x especially I exclusively game and work at 3440x1440p, no streaming or recording at the same time. Leaving any performance behind with my 8700k still?

    ** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES (3090 / 3080 / 3070) NOW ONLINE AT OcUK **

    I managed to preorder a Zotac Trinity 3080 for £689.99, was drawn in by the 5 year warranty. Obviously, the ASUS TUF seems to be the top card at the lower price range with better cooling, performance and reliability than the Zotac. Anyone reckon 3080's and specifically the TUF model will drop...

    USB 3.0 Extension Options?

    Thanks, I have the same setup with mouse in back of the K90. Would your setup work without it being a powered USB hub?

    USB 3.0 Extension Options?

    Hi all, My Corsair K90 has 2 USB 3.0 leads which currently plug into my 2 front USB 3.0 ports on the desktop. Issue is, I need an extra 1.5-2m of cable to play from the sofa (don't like wireless keyboard/mice!) What's the best way of extending the cables: 1 - via 2 separate male to female...

    ** NEPTUNE IS COMING!! **

    I was thinking of the thingy - which the person who guessed correctly first said - already, thus: - I win - They stole the idea from my thoughts - They'll steal your ideas too unless you give me the prize instead and I will protect you

    ** RJKONEILL'S NVIDIA SHIELD TABLET REVIEW **

    You have unread Facebook messages. Looks good though! I can't get my head around whether I would get value for money from it but I'm sure for some it's a must-have gadget

    ** OcUK THE KINGS OF 4K: GREAT DEALS!! **

    Why does moving from 28" to just over 30" warrant an extra ~£1000? I'm a TV user as my monitor personally but intrigued by the price disparity

    290 v 290x?

    Just get the Powercolor 290. It's been exceptional for me so far and at a fantastic price! http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-166-PC So quiet, no coil whine, high overclock out of the box... Win.

    **TODAY ONLY! 20/06/2014** Powercolor Radeon R9 290 PCS+ OC 4GB & Radeon R9 290X PCS+ OC 4GB

    Feel a bit fobbed off now that the 290 is £269.99 less than a week later... Great price but could have saved even more but not seeing this thread before

    Bottlenecking 290

    Hi all, Quick question - would an i5 3570k @ 4.2 bottleneck a Powercolor PCS+ 290 at all? I wasn't overly impressed by the Heaven results on 'High' - 34fps min, 212 max and 113 average Thanks
