    GPU upgrade in SG05

    I've been putting it off a while, and planning to spread the costs over a few months I pre ordered the Pip Boy edition so that'll be £100 in November. Ideally I'd like to swap out this card for something cooler and quieter.

    GPU upgrade in SG05

    I've got my main machine in an SG05 an am planning to upgrade the GPU for Fallout 4, among other things. Currently I have an ASUS HD6850 1GB, which has done fine really as I'm mainly playing older games. I'm aiming to spend under £200, preferably more like £150 so I'm tihnking the GTX 960 is...

    ***AMD Kaveri APU quick look***

    Is that an ML05? I've been eyeing one of those, an APU build would work nicely, and there's still a low profile slot if a dgpu was wanted.

    ***AMD Kaveri APU quick look***

    I really want AMD to do something to get support for SteamOS. I can see A10-7700 builds in tiny cases, and at tiny prices. 720p on a TV is fine, as consoles prove. There are even passive cooling cases that can handle that kind of chip, you could make an uSFF completely passive and silent gaming...

    Rebuilding into SG05

    Thanks for the advice, I had a look at the ATX PSU option, but what I have now is a bit of a silly size, it had difficulty fitting in the Kandalf. I've made an order and should be building by Wednesday!

    Rebuilding into SG05

    Thanks! Exactly the kind of oversight I was hoping someone might point out. :D I'll get a board I can actually use :p

    Rebuilding into SG05

    No plans to overclock, it's plenty fast for me at stock. I've currently got the stock cooler, and improving that is something I thought about too. Something quieter. Any upgrades/replacements would be to lower power and noise use rather than speed increases. £30 extra would be quite a...

    Rebuilding into SG05

    I've currently got a Thermaltake Kandalf, and want to rebuild my machine into a compact case to fit under the TV for gaming. The spare room isn't going to be any good for my PC any more, and there's nowhere else to set up a desktop. I've limited space, the SG05 fits the bill. I'm thinking...

    ** WIN AMDs latest APU, the A10 5800K along with the Gigabyte F2A85X-UP4 and Zalman CNPS14X Cooler!!

    "ENTRY" This would be perfect for building a new HTPC with gaming abilities for the living room I am currently redecorating, which means my girlfriend gets her wish for me to be downstairs with her while I game!

    upgrade uncertainty, seeking advice!

    Awesome rreply mate! Thanks! Looks like I'll move to Intel, seeing as the gaming difference would be more than the editing. First bundle looks good, I was thinking Xfire as a second 6850 will be cheap.

    upgrade uncertainty, seeking advice!

    I've currently got a Phenom 955, 8GB 1333MHz G.Skill ram, Asus M5A78LM USB3, Asus 6850 and Crucial 256GB SSD. I'm looking at new CPU/motherboard upgrade. I do some gaming, Skyrim, Max Payne 3, TF2, nothing seems to be much trouble for the machine at the moment. I'm also getting into making...

    upgrade from Dell 2407

    Had a fiddle with the colours, seems a little better, but contrast seems to suffer. I'll see how it goes, if I could get the USB/card readers working I'd keep it no question!

    upgrade from Dell 2407

    It's most other screens at the moment. Mine seems muddy, especially on greens, Like photos of trees etc. It doesn't seem to have as good a colour resolution as my mates Dell laptop, or even a Technika tv I hooked up the other day. I wondered if it was simply a setting but cant find anything.

    upgrade from Dell 2407

    I've started noticing the limits of my 2407, it's served me well the last 5 year's, but it's just not as good as some screens I've seen. What would be a good replacement? I've just seen the BenQ at £126, but have no idea how that compares in terms of image quality. I loved the built in card...
