Hi Guys So I have had my current build of pc now for perhaps just over 5 years and I am looking at getting myself a new system. The advancement of pc hardware in the last few years and the higher recommended spec of latest AAA games has really left my current system in the dust! I am a 3D...

Hi all, I'm thinking about upgrading next month after the new Coffee Lake processor benchmarks have been released and I know whether to go AMD or Intel. I'm just wondering if its worth me upgrading or I can make better use of my money by updating individual bits. Currently I'm on: i5 4670K @...

Hi, I am long detached from building PC machines. So, I am outdated on the info. What are the latest releases of AMD and it's competitor Intel? AMD Ryzen 3 = ? AMD Ryzen 5 = ? AMD Ryzen 6 = ? Are there any other? How good is Ryzen 3?

Hey guys This is the start of my project and it might take a couple of months to build as I will start sourcing all the different components. This thread is first and foremost to get some help and advice and then putting the build together. I have been doing some research and I wanted to run...

I've recently started streaming & recording gameplay, and the older parts of my system seem to be suffering, mainly the CPU which is at around 60-70% use when streaming and thats without even loading the game up! I think I just need a new CPU (Ryzen 7) a new Mobo (x370) new DDR 4 RAM, and a new...

Been running a 4790k for around 2 years now... Maybe more? Feels like less! Bought it for £230 on release, which seems like peanuts compared to what high end i7s go for now. Anyone know if it's worth the upgrade to a new DDR4 platform? My motherboard is a Maximus VII Ranger, which has red...

Source This info is some days old and only a couple of sites are making mention of it so far, looks like it's a bit of a way off, so nothing much to talk about just yet i guess. To quote motley fool

Hi all I am a total noob when it comes to a new pc build. Currently I am looking for something high spec enough to deal with most games on ultra out the box. That said I have a budget. So my plan is to spend more on less easily upgradeable items and spend a bit less on stuff I can upgrade 6...

I am looking to build a new gaming rig and am stuck between two choices, Intel's 7700k and AMD's Ryzen 1700. I am only really interested in using it for gaming. I've read that the intel CPU is better for pure gaming but the AMD is more user friendly and changes sockets less regularly. What are...

Hi everyone. This is a guide on how to install Windows 7 64-bit version with all its essential drivers on an Acer E5 575G 54T8 Laptop. This is a Kaby Lake based PC and I expect that many, if not all, of these steps can be applied to many other Kaby Lake based PC's. NOTE: This is just a...

Interesting read Intel i7 7700k owner's http://www.pcgamer.com/intels-tells-core-i7-7700k-owners-to-stop-overclocking-to-avoid-high-temps/

Short and sweet really. I know back in the old days that migrating from one CPU manufacture to another generally meant a full reinstall, but im just wondering how Windows 10 handles it? I know its lazy and for best results its probably best to reinstall, but i literally want to swap boards/CPU...

Posted originally in General Hardware but may be more suitable in here? So I'm thinking of upgrading my system since the CPU & mobo are coming up to 5 years old, looking to may get a new CPU, Mobo, Ram & Case? £600 ish max.. my current specs are: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket...

Hey chaps & chapesses! So I've been planning this build for around 2 years now (build date kept on getting pushed back for financial reasons) and come next month I'll finally be able to afford all the bits I want! Wooo! I'm looking to get a pretty high end build suited for pretty much...
