    Help needed with picking upgrades; It's been a loooong time.

    Brilliant; Thank you guys. I'll have a trawl through the members market and keep my eyes peeled in case any pop up =] Is it worth looking on auction sites? I notice a lot of components tend to sell only a fraction less than buying new on them. So something like this would work...

    Help needed with picking upgrades; It's been a loooong time.

    Yeah, 2nd hand is fine by me. 2500k bundle and 290 created a whoosh noise around my head =P 290 im guessing is a type of card and 2500k ram? Seriously, it's been so long, 2011 was probably the last time i was remotely upto date on things. It's a 650w PSU =] EDIT: So a simple google revealed...

    Help needed with picking upgrades; It's been a loooong time.

    Hi everyone! So I used to be a fairly active member of this community when I was younger; Had huge amounts of help building and fixing PCs over the years from everyone...but then you get busy with life and other things take priority. I now have no idea what i'm doing! It's been so long...

    Alienware X51

    Im willing to spend £200 extra on it so it fits inside my back pack and onto my music rig. I really have no space atm, and i can probably get a fair bit back off my current parts. I just found a strip down video online and it takes full double sized cards. Im seriously considering it. All the...

    Alienware X51

    Or have a job and no space in a tiny ass flat lol. As a system, and looking at how games seam to have hit a stand still in terms of advancement, cost aside, is this a good system? How long do you think it will run games on full at 60fps before needing an upgrade?

    Alienware X51

    What would people's views be on this? Im needing to shrink down, and this would be a perfect size. Is there anything commercialy available this size? Im thinking about the i7 (top model), what would that cost in parts to anyone?

    Looking for new card, im a bit lost.

    Thank you. And performance wise you would say they are the same? I think i may go for the nvidia and get batman with it. Thanks.

    Looking for new card, im a bit lost.

    Ok. So i managed to get a few quid so which of these two would you recommend? Im pushing the extra £15 on the geforce because i know im going to be buying batman when it comes out, so this is saving me £15 anyway, but is it better or worse then the ati...

    Looking for new card, im a bit lost.

    So is there no bonus to nvidia over ati? Heard something about different features and such? Also how do the numbers for nvidia work now? I know that ati is 1st number is generation, then basicly how far through its cycle it is and the last one (forget about the 0) is how good the chip is. So a...

    Overheating at just 64 degrees?

    Ive got a spare 120mm fan, should i just zip tie it on then? Should i plug it straight onto a molex and have it going full hog, or is there away of connecting a normal fan to the graphics cards fan power as it has a different connector.

    Overheating at just 64 degrees?

    Its an artic cooling cooler, the fanless one. I hadnt fitted the cooling on the voltage regs correctly, like an idiot. It works for TF2 but its getting a little too hot for other games, im going to buy the silent fans for it, only £5. I didnt think id need fans as my case keeps all other...

    Overheating at just 64 degrees?

    Hi guys. My psu blew the otherday so i bought a new one. My system only needs 500w to run but i bought 650w to be safe. While i was there i picked up a new cooler for my graphics card as the fan as been noisy as hell for ages and it went out of 2 year warranty a week or so ago. I replaced it...
