Two days ago I upgraded my graphics card to a AMD RX 6600 XT. My old PSU was 10 years old so I decided it was probably time to upgrade that as well. Install went fine, everything's working great for a few days, and then today I try to turn on the PC and nothing. Instead when I try to turn in on...

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. 8/10 Tried playing this when it came out on my old PC and didn't get into, partly cause the framerate wasn't great which made it not pleasant to play. Just finished it now and loved it! A few issues here and there which means it doesn't quite match up to the original or...

I was fretting over whether to get a 3600 with the MSI deal or wait for the 5600x. I ended up pulling the trigger and getting the 3600 and from the reviews I think I'm glad I did. It looks like the advantage at 1440p is relatively small in most games for the price, and the money saved is better...

The GSync thing is a bit confusing. As far as I understand it there is full GSync which is achieved by hardware in the monitor, and then is variable refresh rate achieved by software. AMD's version of the software variable refresh rate is called FreeSync, whilst NVidia's version is called GSync...

I'm in a very similar boat, I currently have a 1060 GTX and am looking to upgrade to 1440p this month and eventually a new graphics card probably next year. I think 1070 TI could easily handle 1440p for a while depending on the game. For competitive games like CSGO it would be perfectly fine...

I was looking at a monitor in that price range and size a while ago and had my eye on the AOC 24G2U (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/aoc-gaming-24g2u-24-1920x1080-ips-144hz-1ms-freesync-widescreen-led-gaming-monitor-mo-053-ao.html). It's a very well reviewed 144hz@1080p IPS with FreeSync / GSync...

Cheers! Thank you + Funky-Melon for the tip.

I'm considering getting the 4000D airflow (that's the non-RGB version) for my new build because I like the look of it a bit more than the other airflow competitors. Since it only comes with two 120mm fans would I need to get more fans to make it effective? I would be aircooling CPU and GPU and...

Cool, thanks for the tip!

Loving mine so far. I'm coming from an Honor 9 and this is my first time with a flagship(ish) phone so it's quite a jump up in quality. Not too bothered about the various small issues the reviews even though some of them seem fair enough, though I probably wouldn't think that if I didn't have...

What is the general opinion on the difference between the 3600, 3600X and 3600XT? Is the 3600 good enough if you're budget conscious or is it worth making the jump to the 3600X/T?

I've not done thorough market research, but by looking at the best selling CPU charts on a certain internet retailer I get the impression £290 is more than most people are willing to pay for a CPU? It seems the majority of people aim for something in the £200 or less bracket. I think that might...

A bit disappointed in the launch due to the prices. I'm building my new gaming PC in November and was sure going for a Ryzen 5000 series CPU would be a no brainer, but it looks like it's going to be a some brainer. I'll probably be going for the 3070 RTX (stocks permitting) or the Big Navi...

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! I'm very excited! I'm still using an i5 2500k I spent a chunk of my student loan on back in 2011. Building a whole new PC in November and making the jump to 1440p whilst I'm at it.

Thanks for the advice everyone, good to get my hunch confirmed. Apparently my mobo can handle up to 2133Hz so I think I'll aim for that. I remember years ago when the i5 2500k came out reading a review that said "this is the only CPU you will need for many years to come". I never expected that...

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my old i5 2500k based rig, with the target resolution / framerate being 1080p60. I originally looking at building a new rig from scratch, but after reading a few things it seems that may not be necessary. My current setup is i5 2500k @ stock speed MSI p67A-GD5 4gb...

Me and my friends burnt out on Dota a while ago and found Overwatch to be a nice replacement. Not nearly the same depth as a MOBA, but still plenty of fun to be had, and enough complexity that it becomes more rewarding as you play with friends.

Dota FTW! If you like E-sports then there's a big tournament starting this week. Might help to whet your appetite if you're just getting into it.

I suggest you google the term "Skilled based CV" if you haven't already heard of it. It's a way of formatting a CV that puts an emphasis on skills and experience rather than academic qualifications and previous employers. It's probably worth picking a type of job you want and deepening your...

I recently paid a bit extra to get a good quality detail brush, and it's made a huge difference compared to the cheap brushes I was using before that came in a collection pack. Just make sure you read up on how to take good care of your brushes so that your investments last!
