    Upgrade my 8 year old rig for MSFS2020

    Thanks all. I'm interested to know why the RTX4070 is considered a terrible buy... is it the performance vs. cost? (it's not cheap, but are any GPUs these days?) Also a friend keeps bugging me to get a Quest 3 when they're out. Flight simming seems to lend itself very well to VR so plumping for...

    Upgrade my 8 year old rig for MSFS2020

    Hello all, I have an 8 year old machine I built myself and I'd like to spend a bit of money upgrading for my specific use-cases. I don't spend loads of time on the machine, so I don't want to spend a bomb, but I do like to indulge in a little MSFS2020 now and then, and performance is awful...

    Another 'validate my build' thread

    Hello. I haven't built a PC since 2006 and I've been using Macs for the last 5 years so I'm really out of touch with hardware. I'm planning on building a decently specced all-rounder PC for Photoshop/Lightroom work, future HD video editing and gaming. I've got a preliminary spec but one big...

    £150 monitor: 23" IPS or 24" TN? (for light gaming)

    Thanks guys. I'll go with the Iiyama or LG IPS235 then :) (I've read somewhere that they're both the same panel).

    £150 monitor: 23" IPS or 24" TN? (for light gaming)

    Hi all. After a monitor as a gift for my father (upgrading his old 19" 5:4 Syncmaster). It will be used 50/50 between general PC activities and gaming. Although I've heard that IPS panels suffer more from ghosting than TNs I'm not sure how much a problem this will be as my dad is getting on a...

    Well my order was despatched yesterday via DX Secure and the supplied consignment number doesn't work on DX's website, nor do the customer service people have any idea about it :).

    Does this sound like a MB problem?

    Hi all, Got a bit of a problem with my machine. A couple of weeks ago I went to boot it up and I just got a shed load of really fast beeps at POST. I stripped the machine down and gradually put it back together, and it seemed to work again. I just tried booting up today and all I get is...

    New DSLR + Question about storage

    Hi all, Just bought a 450D and I'm really happy with it :D. Quick question though - how do you store your camera? I don't have a bag for mine yet so I'm keeping it in it's box. Should I take the battery out if I'm not going to use it for a week or so? Also, if I leave the battery out for...

    1000D no longer coming with an IS kit lens?

    Hi guys, Been into photography for a while now and am about to purchase an entry-level DSLR. After many hours of comparing the features of the usual 3 (d3000, a230 and 1000d), I settled on the Canon. But now I can't seem to find anywhere that stocks it with the IS version of the kit lens! I'm...

    Rock Band vs. Guitar Hero for this specific situation...

    Hi all, Just wondering which game you'd recommend for my situation? I've tried to look into the two games but there's not much detail on specific subjects. So here's the thing.. my girlfriend loves playing Lips but I hate singing so I've had the thought that if we buy a GH/RB type game, she can...

    XBOX360 Girlfriend friendly co-op recommendations?

    Cool, cheers. I was hoping that LEGO Star Wars would come today (she's never seen Star Wars either, so I'm hoping she'll get the story from the game which would be cool) but it hasn't. Having a blast on Castle Crashers though :D.

    Consoles you purchased only to never use..

    N64. Bought it for Goldeneye and only ever had that game for it. Good game and played it a fair amount but never played any other games on it. I think most peoples answers will be a Wii tbh. As someone already mentioned; rubbish games based around a gimmick.

    XBOX360 Girlfriend friendly co-op recommendations?

    Cheers guys. We already have Lips (I got it with the 360 originally, as a way to appease her ;) ). As I mentioned in the OP, we don't like FPS' so that's a no-go really. I'll look into getting her Viva Pinata for some SP and a bit of co-op I guess. 'Splosion man looks kinda cool lol, will look...

    XBOX360 Girlfriend friendly co-op recommendations?

    Just moved into an apartment with my girlfriend and we're stuck for things to play on my 360. Does anyone have any recommendations for some good co-op fun? Before anyone posts, we aren't looking for any FPS' including Gears, Halo etc as neither of us are fans of FPS' on consoles :). Oh and...

    Is 32" 1080P really worth it?

    Yeah, I tried the Windows7 drivers but had no joy. I also tried the Vista 32bit drivers, and the WHQL display driver-only package but it just wouldn't have it :/.

    Is 32" 1080P really worth it?

    Manged to get 1080P over VGA, but had to use an nVidia card instead of ATI as the drivers just wouldn't install on my Windows 7 machine!

    Is 32" 1080P really worth it?

    £399.00. I thought I could get it a tad cheaper, but apparently the 'new' model has just come out (the 32LH3010) so it was £399.00. They're exactly the same sepcs though.

    Spec me mum a TV

    I've just bought an LG 32LH3000 for £399.00 at a high street retailer and can thoroughly recommend it! It's 1080P but tbh I can't notice the difference and normal viewing distances. Up close it looks great though. For just shy of £400 though, its got everything you've asked for, and is top...
