can i still bacaktrack to windows 7 even tho i upgraded from 7 to 10 about ~5 months ago? in hindsight i much prefered 7 to 10. far less problems with 7 than 10. would i have to have a windows 7 installation disk to revert back?

i recently noticed that my pretty new computer (16gb ram, i7 core 3.4ghz processor, 64bit windows 10) has been slowing down lately. pretty soon i noticed that basically at all times when i go to task manager it says my disk usage is 100% when when im idling at the desktop. when i look in...

Im pretty sure even if I remove the black hinge there seems to be a piece of metal (in addition to the black hinge) that is blocking a portion of my vid card slot. This metal piece blocks the sides of all the "slots" in the back. I would still be limited to less than 4 inches. You cant really...

Thanks for your suggestions everyone. I made the decision and finalized my requests for these gifts. This MSI gtx750ti http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127836&cm_re=gtx750_ti-_-14-127-836-_-Product This Samsung EVO 500gb SSD...

Overall I do spend the majority of my time cruising facebook and reading the news websites and various articles and whatnot. Id say I spend 70% of my time on my pc doing that, and the other 30% playing mainly dota 2. Would an SSD make my browser load new websites/pages faster? Or make dota 2...

Considering the only games I play are dota 2 and wow and sometimes starcraft 2, do you think I would get better performance off a $300 vid card (with my 16gb ram, 1tb sata 7200rpm harddrive, 3.4ghz i7) or would I get better performance with a $150 vid card combined with a solid state hard drive...

Thats a good idea, never thought about an SSD. Im thinking I may go that route, the $150 card and an SSD.

It looks like the gigabyte one (out of those 3 you linked) is too big, but the other 2 will fit. Thank you for those suggestions, I didnt see those cards previously. Im still stuck trying to decide whether I should go all out and spend the $350 on a card that has more power than I need, or go...

It will. Ive only got about 7.5 inches before the card reaches the sata ports, thats why im stuck relegated to a low profile card.

So basically I just need to make sure the psu I get fits in my case and has the 24 pin connector? Thanks for your time by the way, you have been a huge help.

Well I do have another case on hand, and its a good bit bigger than the case im using now with my dell optiplex 990dt. However, I was under the impression that my pc wouldnt work if I tried to put all the parts in my old (bigger) case. I could be wrong about that though, I am fairly green as far...

Why do you recommend against 400+w? I was under the impression that if I can find a psu that fits in my case, it will work, even though im basically doubling the power supply. I was looking at spending about 70$ (or less if possible) on a new psu that will be minimum 400w, and that 70$ is not...

Thank you for the help. This is what my case looks like. The specs on the vid card (blue card in the pictures) is L x H 5.75" x 3.7." However I think ive run into another problem. I measured the back of my case and it looks like I only have about 4.5 inches of the width dimension (the horizontal...

After measuring my case, I realize I overestimated how much space I have. I need something that is less than 8 inches in length. This is the card im looking at. Im still planning on getting a new more powerful power supply. What do you guys think...

I have a dell optiplex 990dt with a 3.4ghz intel i7 processor and 16gb of ram. Right now my power supply is only 240w but I also plan to replace it with maybe a 500w psu. My current video card is sapphire radeon hd6450 1gb and im looking for something around $300-$350 preferably nvidia. My...
