Oh my god, thank you so much for the Arcsoft suggestion! IT WORKS!!! :clap: Unfortunately, it seems that this program is no longer supported so I can only run it on trial. You wouldn't happen to know how long the trial is would you? I've installed the latest update for WinDVD, I might need to...

Hi all, I'm having issues playing ANY Blu-Ray discs, this has gone on long enough that I've lost my patience with it. I've got an LG CH12NS30, firmware updated to the latest one. Let me preface by saying that CDs and DVDs read fine. Every blu-ray I've tried though, does not play. The PC...

So I've narrowed my choice of mobos to MSI Z97 Gaming 7 or Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 7. I've been trying to read up on their reviews but they seem to be equally good. I've found some good 1600 ram, Corsair Dominators. Might get the 4 stick kit for that.

Sorry, forgot to mention I've got a PSU and case as well. I've got the entire loop planned out, just a little concerned about trying to do the whole "short the PSU" thing to test the loop for leaks and stuff. I've got the HAF 932 and the PSU, I've forgotten what it is but it's a 750W Gold one...

Hi everyone, So, I'm now buying the parts for my new PC as my current PC is getting long in the tooth and is having issues. I've already bought my GPU (good thing I bought it straight away as it sold out the day after they had stock) and CPU. My remaining budget at this point is $1300 The GPU...

Thanks for the help everyone. Come tax return time, I'll be buying some new parts! :D

Righto, 4670K it is. I just wish they'd get stock or release the 780 ti Hydro Copper already. I'm rather reluctant to install a waterblock for a GPU myself. It's easy to do a CPU, slap on the Thermal Paste and the block, but a GPU, you need to remove the one there first.

That's good to hear about the z97. I probably won't be upgrading until about the end of August anyway. I think I'll go with upgrading then. Is there a massive difference between a 780 and 780 ti? The reason I want to get the eVGA Hydro Copper is that it already has the W/C block on it. I know...

Hi all, I've been thinking of upgrading my PC but have held off until I get some feedback. Currently, my system is; AMD Phenom X4 955 - OC to 3.6 I think. Gigabyte GTX570 OC - (factory OC, UC'ed it for a while due to some issues with BSODs and PC freezes. Have now put it back to the normal...

Hi everyone, I've been having a recurring issue with my Gigabyte GTX570 OC which kinda went away but is now back. The problem is that the drivers would crash randomly, sometimes even on idle. I upgraded to the latest non-beta (320.49?) and it made it happen far less often. Mind you, that...

I'll try overclocking it this weekend. I've got a Black Edition, does that make it easier/harder?

So with the current GPU, should I even bother upgrading it? I'm guessing that by the time a new Nvidia line comes out, I might as well upgrade the CPU.

Yeah, I've played around with older and newer drivers. The latest drivers MAY have fixed it though. I've not had the problem for a while but then again, I haven't played the problem games since updating the drivers. I'm gonna overclock the CPU once I install the watercooling system.

Processor's stock. I'm running 3x4 because I bought a 4x4 but the current heatsink on my CPU (big arse OCZ one) prevents me from putting anything in the first slot. Rather annoying... The issue I've had with my GPU which makes me want to upgrade is a little weird. I've not encountered the...

At the moment, a heavily modded version of Fallout New Vegas. I'm also playing Metro: Last Light (almost finished), Dragon Commander. Waiting on FF XIV, Watch Dogs and RTW II.
