    ***World of Warcraft : Warlords of Draenor***

    Windows 10 has killed some of my Steam games -_- so until I find a way to get them back up again (my fault for not doing enough research), I've been tempted to return to wow for a spot. Though not sure if it will be worth it, not played in some time, since before Draenor. A quick Google shows...

    Advice as to which 1440p monitor/s to pick

    Spuddy. I've fixed the links now, though I think it may have been better if the links stayed broken. I need to find my camera.

    Advice as to which 1440p monitor/s to pick

    My phone has a shockingly bad camera on it. So it really does not do the monitor any justice, however it does demonstrate the scale somewhat. Edit: Fixed my fail image linking. And I seriously need a better camera for this! Images have been scaled down 50%

    Advice as to which 1440p monitor/s to pick

    GMac11, the brightness on this thing was bright, so I've dropped to 30 myself when I set it up. I've not poked at any of the other settings yet, as it all feels just fine. I've not noticed any light bleed here either or any other strange effects, perhaps when I have some more time with it. Not...

    Advice as to which 1440p monitor/s to pick

    After much deliberation I have decided to go with the Dell U2715H. Far more then I was hoping to spend as I will need to get second one soonish, my old LG IPS235V-BN looks rather out of place at the moment sitting next to it. First impression, wow! This is a stunning piece of kit. I'm going to...

    Advice as to which 1440p monitor/s to pick

    Thank you for taking the time to do a write up about the BenQ BL2710PT. I found it very helpful. I overlooked that monitor due to it mentioning CAD/CAM. I'll read up some more on it this evening thanks again.

    Advice as to which 1440p monitor/s to pick

    I've done some more research into monitors and looked into the Dell UltraSharp U2715H http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-080-DE&groupid=17&catid=1120 It seems to be alright from the write up on a couple review sites, I know it has a slowish response time, slower then my...

    Advice as to which 1440p monitor/s to pick

    (Resolved) Advice as to which 1440p monitor/s to pick As a result of the information I've gained from the General Hardware channel, I've now decided to upgrade my GPU to a R9 290X. My main reason for the upgrade is my current monitor, while very good for me, feels very small and very limited...

    Advice required to run 1440 (potential new build)

    Thanks for all the help. The BitFenix website state the max length is 320mm up to the HDD cage. My current GPU is around 241mm long and the R9 290X is supposed to be 276mm. Measuring the case it looks like it will fit just fine. Now to decide if I go for a decent case and PSU now or when I do...

    Advice required to run 1440 (potential new build)

    Ok great, before I hit order, the mobo is running PCI 2.0 not the 3.0 of the card, that only causes a little performance loss. I was concerned with the PSU being able to run the GPU, though using a part compatibility site it looks like the whole build will come up to 499W, not sure exactly...

    Advice required to run 1440 (potential new build)

    Did not think it was, I had to cut some corners when putting the build together. Would the CPU bottleneck a better GPU? Was looking to upgrade when skylake k and ddr4 come out, if it ever did. Though not sure if it would be worth the wait. Upgrade plus 2 monitors is not going to be pretty.

    Advice required to run 1440 (potential new build)

    Only the stock Intel cooler. Was not aware that the non k version could overclock at all, would that be done via the bios?

    Advice required to run 1440 (potential new build)

    Sadly it is a normal 2500, not the 2500k. Current PSU is a OCZ Fatal1ty Series 550W, my case is a rather cheap BitFenix Merc Alpha with 2 extra fans in there. I've heard the 290X runs rather hot.

    Advice required to run 1440 (potential new build)

    I know there has been a fair bit of noise floating about with NVidia 'slight' misleading spec sheet given to reviewers. Though I thought that would only cause issues with 4k monitors and so forth.

    Advice required to run 1440 (potential new build)

    I'm currently running a single 23" 1080 IPS monitor, for my gaming needs it does just fine. However when I am programming or anything else that requires some level of multi-tasking it drives me completely nuts, not nearly enough real estate My current spec: i5 2500, P8H67 Asus Mobo...

    ** Official World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Thread**

    Thank you Crimefighter! I did not think of that, I don't think the conversion rate of honor to gold is great, but some research may prove otherwise. But some gold is more then no gold and while doing something fun. Now as soon as I am fully honor geared, getting close, but the past weekend...

    ** Official World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Thread**

    Thought I made a reply a couple days ago, but I guess the office system nuked it, either that or I really was not paying attention. Was fairly long too. Oh well, trying to remember everything I was on about. Though one thing was a reply about proffs and chars. I currently only have 2 90s and 1...

    ** Official World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Thread**

    Well, its mostly as I had a fair bit, 5k or so, to me that is a lot. I did a couple dailies with my paladin, but got bored and focused more on my other characters, mostly my druid. So the gold I got from the leveling process went towards a crafted pvp set for the druid and some enchants. Pvp...

    ** Official World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Thread**

    The problem with that only an hour and a half is that during the week, I normally get if lucky an hour to play, though normally its now getting closer to 30 mins, though I will just man up and hammer out some dailies. No idea where to start, I guess I could do the thunder isle ones? Not done...

    ** Official World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Thread**

    I got fed up of being the only one online in my guild and left. Though now I need a new one. Not such a smart move on my side. Unlike a level 1 or 2 character you don't seem to get hammered with random guild invites. I am sitting in the situation that I really don't feel like questing or...
