    GPU for blowout 1080p gaming

    Hey all, I'm getting ready to build a new PC for gaming. I haven't gamed in years, and could use some advice. I'm interested in top performance 1080p. I'd rather have blowout 100+ frame rates in 1080p than struggle and have to upgrade in a year or two messing with 1440p. I had a 1070/Gsync...

    Mechanical Keyboard recommendation

    Long time Model M user here, and I'm need a new mechanical KB. I'd like something as close to the old IBM keyboards as possible. From what I gather from reading online, that would be a Cherry Blue. Is that about right or am I off the mark?

    New gaming build

    Hey all, been a while since I've built a PC and was wondering if I can have any criticism on my theoretical build so far. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/pz9Jnn 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Gaming, Photoshop, some CAD, simple server to...

    Display advice...hz and ms

    Hey all, I'm building a new PC for gaming, and am just learning about all the monitor options. I have had a 60hz 5ms LG screen sitting here collecting dust for ages...now I learned about 1ms and 144hz monitors. I found a refurb 24" 144hz monitor for 200 bucks that I added to my cart. Do you...

    NZXT Phantom ATX tower

    Hey all, It's time to build a new PC and I'm seriously looking at this full tower in red. I know it's a bit long in the tooth these days, but it just looks so badass. Is there any reason I shouldn't pull the trigger on one of these for 110 bucks? Is there anything significantly better? I'm...

    GTX-1070/G-sync v. R9 390/Freesync

    Rate my PSU purchase (Corsair CX600)

    Hey all, My OCZ ModXStream 700 Watt PSU died this week after exactly 4 years of use. I replaced it with a Corsair CX600 Bronze, 600W....the price after newegg rebate (35 bucks) was too good to pass up. Did I make the right purchase you think for my PC with below stated specs? I need to add...

    What do you do with your IDE drives?

    I have a couple of IDE HDDs sitting around here, ranging from 60-80 gigs. I did a bit of shopping this weekend for USB 2.0 enclosures to try to salvage these drives, at least to backup documents and store important but rarely accessed docs, if nothing else. The IDE enclosures are just...
