upgrade

Hi everyone, first time forum user, long time OCUK buyer. I'm looking to upgrade my Intel 6600K this year. I've already got a RTX 2070 and I just this week bought some new RAM. I'm waiting on the Ryzen release as I'm almost positive that's the way I'm going to go this time round. My main...

Hi All, I'll be upgrading my PC once the new AMD processors release however I want to get my racing rig sorted before hand as it's half complete at the moment with the house move. So let me explain my issue; I'm mainly a console racer so 1440p is not an option from what I've read (Assuming PS5...

Hi there, so I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to pc components. I bought a pre built cyberpower pc back in 2016 (I think) and the only upgrade i made was my gpu and that is it. Below are my full pc specs. And im wondering what "needs" upgrading and what is perfectly fine for...

I'm looking to start upgrading my system for Zen3 and wondering if it's worth going for a 3600 as an interim CPU until the ZEN3 is release. My 4790k has been running beautifully for 5 years at 4.7ghz but the initial zen3 is getting me all excited. My plan is: B550 Tomahawk 16gb DDR4 3200...

Hi I built a decent computer a few years ago but have no idea if it’s any good now? Just wondering without changing to much what I could upgrade to help it run games possibly better than a ps5 etc? I currently haven’t got a graphics card because I never used it to run games just to render out...

Hi friends. I'm looking to upgrade my dated PC rig - I'm unsure where to start really so would love some advice. I primarily use the PC for work nowadays, but I still game from time to time and I want to obviously have the best experience when doing that (ideally 1440p, maxed to take advantage...

Hello all! New here so apologies if I am framing this the wrong way. A few years ago I bought a custom built gaming PC, but obviously didn't build it myself. I'm now looking to upgrade some (or all if that works out cheaper) for no other reason than I fancy it, and it would be nice to enjoy...

I have just ordered 16GB (2x8) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 memory. To upgrade my system to 32GB (listed below). In the past I was under the impression that a memory upgrade from 16GB makes little difference, however I now don't believe this. After reviewing several YouTube vids on memory...

I have a low end PC and recently bought Flight Simulator. As expected it doesn't run great. It's playable on low settings but the scenery etc is dreadful and the GPU is running at close to 100% most of the time, CPU around 80%. I have very limited knowledge so excuse me if any of these...

Thinking of doing a MB,CPU and RAM upgrade next month with a new GPU. My vacation to the USA and other trips was cancelled, didn't lose any money, so have some money to spend. Keeping my 1.48TB of SSDs. The only thing that concerns me is that Windows 10 will detect it as a new PC? Will I...

So as stated in the title I currently have a ryzen 5 3600 and am looking for an upgrade sometime soon. I have already upgraded to an MSI B550 Gaming Edge WiFi and have an NZXT X73 so cooling isn't really that big of an issue. Would I be better off waiting for the new 4000 series of cpu's or...

Hi, I bought my first pre-built 10 years ago, and have since transferred the components to a larger case, upgraded the cooling, RAM, GPU, PSU, PCI USB3 ports, and added/swapped various drives including an SSD. The PC is getting a bit slow these days and so I'm wondering if it's feasible to...
