I know these threads pop up all the time about "what's the best monitor?" blah blah but I feel I'm in quite a unique setup and not really sure about the best route to take. As you can see from my sig, my rig is an i5 supported by the GTX670. I don't monitor my FPS often while playing but when...

I've been doing some research about Comet going into Administration for something at work and came across this story: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2228239/Child-4-suffering-cerebral-palsy-given-500-stranger-stricken-chain-Comet-refuses-gift-card-iPad.html Think it's ridiculous to be...

I started playing BF3 last night and as it's the first game that's probably challenged my computer, I wondered how fast my fans should be operating at. I have the triple copper heatpipe CPU cooler, Nvidia GTX670 and 3 case fans on my CM690 II Advanced, one at the front, one at the back and one...

Hi guys, my current setup is pretty terrible. Pc is hooked up to LCD tv on wall. I sit on my big comfy sofa-like chair with my keyboard on my knee and my mouse mat next to me. I don't actually have any old mouse mats lying around other than a freebie I got at work which is quite frankly...

I would like to share my stupidness with you fellow forumers in hope to not only make you feel better about yourselves as you will have much higher intelligence than myself but also just because I feel like sharing a funny story that may have only happened to me on the planet. Here we go...

Can I just say a huge thank you to PCS for building me a pretty epic PC. It arrived yesterday, delivery was great and on time, I pressed the power button and everything switched on perfectly, everything works. It's fast as hell and quiet as anything! I do have one query though.. I was trying to...

I've read on lots of forums and heard commentaries on youtube of people saying that if you want to get into PC gaming, it's best to build your own because it can cost like half the amount and you need very little technical knowledge. I'd already ordered my rig but decided to have a look at how...

It's my 7th Working Day of torture. Things seem to have come to a stand still. All communication has gone quiet. Thoughts of doubt now cross my mind. Average build times increase each day. Why didn't I order it the first night I wanted to rather than waiting a week before I hit the button. It...

Well I ordered by pc before Windows 8 was released and I figured I'd prefer Windows 7 anyway so I chose to go with that. I've seen Win8 at a quick glance in PC world and thought it was a bit awkward on a laptop and stuff but I was wondering if I should be adding it to my build? I'll be using my...

I haven't got my rig yet so I can't test this for myself but when downloading full games from steam, is the hard disk memory number the actual size of the download? It sounds really dumb but like if a game takes up 20gb of memory on the specs, will you have to download 20gb's worth or is it...

Most of you will be sick of my name cropping up by now about pointless rubbish but I ordered my rig yesterday and now I'm trying to get everything prepared before it arrives. As I'm quite a newbie to PC's I was looking for some advice.. Is there anywhere that lists easy steps to maintaining...

I may be completely out of the loop here or what not but I was browsing steam on my phone last night and saw a game called Chivalry Medieval Warfare and after watching a view videos it looked really impressive. It's basically like a FPS but in medieval times and it's purely based around...

So I've been looking for weeks now trying to get just the right spec for a new desktop. My 5 year old acer laptop is battered and I'm pretty sure it runs at boiling point temps most of the time. I decided "Hey, why not get a gaming rig? I'll be able to do all the normal stuff and I'll be able to...

This is my 3rd thread and I really hope it will be my last. I'm fairly set on my build as I plan to mainly play MMO's and FPS's and would love to be able to rip it up on some BF3 to see how it fares against the console version. I'm in need of a new pc anyway as my laptop is dead and I figured I...

So I posted a few days ago with a proposed build but wasn't entirely happy with it. I've rethought my approach now and come up with the below. What I would like to know is: 1) Is the case sufficient enough for my build? 2) Is getting the standard Samsung RAM better than going for the Corsair...

Hi, I've always enjoyed PC gaming but haven't owned a machine capable to do so for quite a few years now. I've been looking for the past couple of weeks at different reviews and specs for a desktop and from what I've read this seems to be the best I can come up with. I would probably play casual...
