Just gaming on one, haven't played anything remotely intensive recently. Mostly indie games but wouldn't mind getting into some of the new releases, doesn't have to be at native resolution. I don't game too often. Thanks for the x99 and case advice, looks like the way to go

will definitely want a new case, unsure if I want to go with a bigger SSD so can just leave out for now, how much use are the dust filters?

Hi all, Been a while since I've built anything so pretty out of date with the latest and greatest tech. Fine to self build Looking for a new build for some database/video editing/gaming/general use. Budget is £1000-1800. Happy to spend towards the maximum but if the performance difference...

Hey Guys, I'm fairly out of the loop with the way tech has gone. My current PC is still fairly new ~18 months but is having a ton of problems and with one hardware problem after another I want to scrap it (mostly) and go new. I have no brand loyalties. PC will mostly be used strenuously...

I already have the following which I'm willing to keep. The big debate is wether I keep the X2 or switch to Intel. Tagan 580W Power Supply 2x1GB Corsair PC6400 RAM asus msn32 sli deluxe (AM2) 6000X2 Zalman CPU Fan, big beefy thing Hard Drive Keyboard, Mouse, OS, Monitor Crappy case...

PCI-E, DX 10 if possible but maybe dx9 is the 1950GT any good?

and now I can't even get into windows....to choose safe mode

Running a dell vostro 1400, running vista business. I'm right in the middle of a big work event, I have no PC alternative here, so having a working laptop is a massive priority. Basically, I installed Alchohol 120%, immediately after my PC BSOD's Rebooting, put it in safe mode, as soon...

I can save over £100 on ordering a new vostro on a 1 year "base warranty" than going for a 3 year one, I'm guessing the warranty is probably worth it, as laptop parts are excrucatingly expensive and hard to replace How often to laptops break and what is the most common component to break...

Uses: Gaming (nothing too heavy), Video Editing, light 3D work, Photos. I'd like over a terabyte of storage, quad core, and if possibly I'd like to keep the whole thing as quiet as possible, I was also thinking about a 22" or even a 24" monitor to replace my 19" widescreen. I could even go...

Haven't been able to find any short so far, does anyone think it could be the cpu cooler not making proper contact? I heard if a chip is overheating the whole thing shuts down

in fact, I just realized, now that its turning on without the power switch being pressed, its obvious where the short is

I haven't and I'd really like to do that as a last resort, it was a lot of effort getting it in the case in the first place :P (antec lanboy)

Recently having moved my computer , it's not working. As soon as I plug the lead into the psu, it powers up, fans spin, lights go on, this is without me pressing the power button on the front of the case. It stays powered for about 15 seconds, then it just dies. Then about 2 seconds later it...

AFAIK hdmi carries picture and sound.

I'd say for the gfx card go for a 7300 series, kicks the 6200 into the dirt for only 10 pounds more.

Yes you would as the specced cpu is the oem version, you could pay a bit more for the retail, and I wouldn't go for something as high as the 7900GS if you don't play games EDIT: As for hd's, seagate barracudas are the best peformance/price/noise ratio by far. EDIT2: And please use the edit...

He already has a dual core cpu, though conroe would give better performance.

2gb of ram would help a lot :)
