    Upgrading a slightly older system

    Bonus came through this month and as such I'm looking at upgrading the PC. The last thing I upgraded was the GPU in early lockdown. I've not touched the rest for a few years now and my CPU is getting a little tired. Here's what I'm currently running: CPU: 10600k GPU: 3080 12GB RAM: 32GB DDR4...

    Yeah, I know. Not trying to justify it in any way and totally irrational. Still want it though...

    Achievement unlocked

    I had an OG steam account but when I got the orange box I created a new one because I couldn't be bothered resetting my password. Sitting just under 16 years now but the 20 year badge kinda makes me wish I'd kept that original account.

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    I had the same problem. Turn on developer mode in settings, there will be a new developer section on the left at the bottom of the list. In there turn off wifi power saving. Fixed it for me.

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    Yeah, this was the way it went for me. Popped my £4 down purely because I had steam credit and have managed to convince myself I want it over time. It's coming on Monday.

    Yes he does, it's a decent little 1080p thing that would probably be ok.

    Cheap gaming pc for 8yo

    Thanks for the reply. I have an old R9 290 lying around but that's it at the moment. I could include that but one of the blades snapped off one of the fans so I would have to repair that. As for monitor/keyboard etc, yes. I would unfortunately need these too. I have a couple of Windows keys...

    Cheap gaming pc for 8yo

    Hi all, My girlfriends kid has been playing games on my PC and I would really like to pick him up his own but don't want to spend too much on it. I wouldn't like to build anything crazy as it will be his first PC but was hoping you could point me in the right general direction of a PC that...

    Should I buy a 1070ti right now?

    It will be within the month (next payday xD) Fair point, I've not bought a new card since the 390 though, it's always done me well. I've waited a while for this upgrade waiting for prices to drop and it really feels like we're starting to see that happen, I'm just fed up of waiting.

    Should I buy a 1070ti right now?

    Hi all, I have been looking at this GPU on the OcUK website and it has caught my eye. I am currently using an XFX 8GB 390 (the one everyone bought) and was wondering if it's worth the purchase. I am currently running at 1080p/60fps but will be moving to 1440p/122/144hz in the near future. Is...

    Fifa 2018

    Is anyone else having issues with the 10 hour trial? Trying to play coop seasons last night and when it was loading in (the bit where you get a player to take shots at goal) we both kept getting no players and it would just lock up and we had to alt+f4 out. The same thing just happened during...

    Are earnings too low / living costs getting too high??

    Living in the north has it's advantages. I work as a data analyst and earn just a bit less than the national average, my wife isn't working at the moment, I have a 2 year old child, reasonable house, modern car, all the amenities including 200mb internet and still manage to eat out 2-3 times a...

    Death/Dying

    I've not read the whole thread but personally for me I never really considered death before my daughter was born, yeah I was aware of death but it's just not something that crossed my mind. Now though, I think about it pretty regularly, she's only 2 at the moment and even though she's been my...

    Overwatch

    I've just picked this up and I'm having a blast with it but I can't help but think that it would be so much better with a premade group. I'm not the best but I've played 15 matches so far and won 12, maybe because I have around 500 hours in TF2. If anyone feels like adding me, I'm always...
