    New Mini ATX Computer Build Advice!

    Hi guys, it's been a very long time since I last built a computer (as you can tell by my system specs of my computer) as I have been using a laptop. But seeing as I have the funds for it now I am very excited to be building a mini atx computer! My budget is £1000 and I already have mouse and...

    Which PSU?!

    Hello guys, I've started the process of upgrading my system and I currently have an i7 4770K, Asus Z87-K, 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz and a EVGA GTX 770 SC ACX (got it from a friend for £200 :O!) But the hard part is now the PSU part. I wanted to get a Corsair HX650 Gold but I heard a whole...

    Got Enough Money To Upgrade Motherboard, CPU & RAM!

    Sweet man, so I don't need washers to install the motherboard and just the two items you linked me? :)

    Got Enough Money To Upgrade Motherboard, CPU & RAM!

    Is the Asus Z87-K a cheap motherboard would you say? I hope it's not a nightmare. And one more thing, I'm missing a few screws for my motherboard on my case and atm my current mobo is missing like a few screws so its not fully secured onto the case. What screws do I buy? Is it just the standard...

    Got Enough Money To Upgrade Motherboard, CPU & RAM!

    Right so I've made my mind up, I'll be going for what I suggested in my OP and not upgrading GPU until I see a reason too (upgrading monitor in future). I will be overclocking now as people say its as simple as upping multiplier with the intel CPUs. Thank you for your help people. I will let you...

    Got Enough Money To Upgrade Motherboard, CPU & RAM!

    I said I'm keeping my 5870 as my resolution is good, I just want to upgrade the rest as you can see how dated my system is >.< DDR2 and a phenom 2 is quite old brah

    Got Enough Money To Upgrade Motherboard, CPU & RAM!

    Nice, exactly the CPU for me it looks like! Cause I don't want an in-built GPU on my CPU and won't be overclocking at all. So basically it's exactly the same as like a i7 4770K but with no overclocking ability and no in-built gpu with lower power consumption and lower temps? looks good. Will it...

    Got Enough Money To Upgrade Motherboard, CPU & RAM!

    My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster P2070 ^^ and I use Sony Vegas Pro as my video editing software. I'd like to run all current games and future games like battlefield 4 on high setting with like 50+ FPS on my monitor, so I think my 5870 with a haswel CPU will do it well for now? It's just what...

    Got Enough Money To Upgrade Motherboard, CPU & RAM!

    looks like a good bundle, is the 4670K better than the 4770K for things like gaming and video editing? And also is my monitor really that bad? :( I brought it like a year and a half ago and love it to this day! If I get an upgraded monitor with the 19xx resolution is it day and night difference...

    Got Enough Money To Upgrade Motherboard, CPU & RAM!

    Well I don't really want to upgrade my monitor as it is fairly new and I really like it ^_^ so should I just get a 660? or just stick my 5870?

    Got Enough Money To Upgrade Motherboard, CPU & RAM!

    I have found out I have enough money to upgrade my motherboard, CPU & RAM. These are my choices as I won't be overclocking and I will be mainly gaming, light video editing and just using the computer on daily basis for things like browsing forums, youtube and work. Are these good choices...

    I'm Back After Many Years! (My Hardware Obsolete Now?)

    Yeah true, and 5850 CF is beastly even for today's standards! I'm pretty sure future games like battlefield 4 will still run smooth on this rig with that kind of resolution ^_^
