That makes me feel a bit better about the 500W I've got in mine, what brand was the 280W??? :cool:

All sorted now, up and running with a new 'old' build. By low end gaming I meant my steam library which has around 100 games from 7-8+ years ago, there's nothing new on there. The only thing I splashed out on was a new case in the end, the corsair 4000d airflow in white, was on offer for £79...

If you fancy swapping for an i5 4670k plus cash, let me know!

What did you do with the 4770k? I kept the Z87, 16GB DDR3 ram and H80i cooler. Picked up a 500w coolermaster PSU, 1660 GTX, 500gb SSD and 27" Asus 1080p monitor for £80. Was looking fot a 4790k but they fetch silly money tbh not really worth it for a budget upgrade.

Think I've got all the parts now, will put it together v soon hopefully. Don't think I've put a PC together for around 10 years. Kept: Z87 EX3 i5 4670k 16gb GSkill DDR3 Sold: Corsair Case 1000W Seasonic psu 970 gtx Got £130 for them. Picked up used: Coolermaster 500w 500gb ssd 1660 GTX...

More info please, which processors specifically could I be looking at for the Z87 that better my current 4670?

Just started the system up and it was powering on and off, on and off etc. Removed the 8gb pair of ram and left the 16gb in and seems to be working fine now. Been running the Heaven benchmark on a loop for 30 mins and all seems good. I've advertised the remaining bits up for sale for £40 and...

I've several old PC parts here and I'm choosing which to keep and which to get rid off, I've enough to make a full system. 1) Asrock Z87 Extreme3 (with an i5 4670) 2) MSI B75A G41 (with an i5 3570) I know very little about motherboards, which of those would you keep if you had to choose...

I'll probably just keep my 4670 in that case. I'll check the specs of the ram and decide whether or not to keep more than my original 16gb. PSU is a Coolermaster 500w, didn't recognise the brand of the ssd but it's 500gb and will do as a boot drive for win 10. I don't quite fancy the case so...

Which cpu would you guys keep? i5 3570 which was in the tower I've just picked up or my own i5 4670? His 24gb ram is 2x4gb and 2x8gb. I suppose i could keep one set with my own 16gb but not sure over 16gb makes any difference at all for what I'll be using it for? Or does it?

This guys busy. Whilst I'm speaking to him someone else knocks on the door, they've come to collect the exact same tower. I traded some speakers with him and got the full tower for £80. Will test it out later.

Yes the idea is, pick up a low powered gpu and rebuild a low end gaming rig for the kids which they can also use for Internet and basic school work. The gtx 970 was using far too much power and the 1000w psu was just overkill. I've just been offered the following: GTX 1660 500gb SSD (not sure...

I've recently moved over to a mini PC and so dismantled my old gaming rig - which I hadn't gamed on in years! I sold my case (weighed a ton), the GTX 970 and the 1000W PSU but I'm left with the following: Intel Core i5 4670K, Asrock Z87 Ex3, 16GB GSkill DDR3, Corsair H80i. I'm finding it hard...

Worked, thanks!

I'm new to Win 11, can't say I'm enjoying the experience but there is currently an update sitting in my 'Windows Update' page, which seems to cause no end of bother once it installs. The PC just goes black after the restart and I have to manually power the computer off. When switching it back...

It must be an age thing. I'm in my 40s as well and just the thought of starting a new game feels like a chore, and has done for a few years now. Gaming PC hadn't been touched for years so I dismantled it and started selling off the parts, moved to a mini PC instead. Still have a PS5 which I do...

Rarely play through any games these games but the last one was RE4 remake on the PS5. I remember buying a gamecube just for Re4 all those years ago and it was one of my favourite games of all time. The remake did not disappoint, nothing short of 10/10 for me. As others above have said, all the...

AJ has done it for boxing tonight, seemed to have the measure of Ngannou whereas Fury looked very uncomfortable against him. Fury will be nowhere near as easy to hit but if AJ lands one that clean, no one on this planet would be getting up, someone said it earlier, absolutely disgusting knockout...

Jeeeeez

Can really see AJ getting clipped and Ngannou jumping on him.
