    Upgrade options with an Acer XG270HU 27.

    Hello, I currently have an Acer 27inc (freesync) 1440 monitor, and Radeon R2 290x video card. I am having a hard time pushing FPS up above 60 in most games like BF1, Overwatch, Witcher3, ect. So a couple of questions. Is it worth upgrading to a newer video card to push the limits of my 144...

    Smallest Case for Standard Size Parts.

    Honestly I just want it as compact as possible. So either way is fine. I believe there would be more options in the tower category so we could go that route.

    Hello, I need some help on picking out a new case to refresh my current setup. What I want to do is get down to as small as possible with the parts I have so I can eventually move over to the TV. My setup is below. I originally built it to over clock hence I bought a large case with a bunch...

    Sadly my closest microcenter is sold out :(. I did take a look at the HP monitors. But they are hard to find for a good price.

    Best Android Tablet at $200 range.

    Honestly size doesn't matter all that much too me as long as the hardware is good and peppy. I want something a bigger than my phone, but not laptop size. Yeah, I read the review of the Nvidia Shield K1, and it looked pretty good. I know its a bit older so making sure its still the top of...

    Direct TV or Dish Deals?

    Thanks all for the comments. I decided to go the slingtv route with an Amazon Fire TV. I get most of the channels I need, and ends up only costing 25$/month, and I can stream to phone, and tablets as well.

    Best Desktop Speakers

    What is needed to move from desk to couch?

    Thanks for that information. I like the smallness of the keyboard and that fact they use the same receiver.

    What is needed to move from desk to couch?

    Do you have any good models of mice and keyboards. My couch is in sort of C sectional. So not sure what to do about the mouse. Maybe mouse pad on the couch?
