    Small upgrade to increase performance

    Will give this a try, thanks. I have a Samsung SSD too, which is the most recent part of my PC. I specifically bought it just to put games onto.

    Small upgrade to increase performance

    Thanks for the advice gents, really appreciate it. With fortnite being a game that I run on the lowest graphics settings, would it not be better to upgrade my CPU instead? Or is this completely illogical?

    Small upgrade to increase performance

    Hi gents, looking to upgrade my setup to gain some extra performance out of my setup. Budget is around £200-300. I use the PC for 1080P gaming and only play fortnite. My PC typically gets around 100FPS on average, but can drift from anywhere between 60 and 144fps. Ideally I'd like to up this so...

    Upgrade Advice

    Looking for 1080P to push 144Hz. I predominantly play Fortnite, although I do play other games occasionally. Budget-wise, I'd like to keep the solution as cheap as possible really. Circa £200-300ish say? Or perhaps could I squeeze a little extra power from overclocking? Thanks

    Ah ok is that something I need to do myself in the bios or is it programmed to do it itself? Thanks once again.

    Building a Gaming PC

    Thanks gents for your help, activation sorted after a lengthy phone call with Microsoft this morning. They provided a product key in case anything similar happens again. One final question, the Ryzen 2600 I purchased is only showing up at 3.40GHz when it said it would be 3.90GHz on the OCuk...

    Building a Gaming PC

    Thinking of something like this. Is the 550W PSU I purchased good enough to power the CPU? My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B30= £99.95 1 x Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H V2 AMD B350 (Socket AMD4) DDR4...

    Building a Gaming PC

    Morning chaps. Built it all together last night and it seems to be ok playing fortnite on low settings, although CPU usage seems to be quite high and I do get little stutters with low FPS. The case is a little small for my needs too. Debating just going the whole hog and getting a new...

    Building a Gaming PC

    I tried running fortnite on my laptop with the i7-4700 2.8ghz, 8GB RAM and an integrated nvidia graphics card, but the FPS was far too low. Can I assume this was down to the graphics card more so than anything? I just want a PC able to run the game well without drops in FPS. Essentially my plan...

    Building a Gaming PC

    I must admit, the PC will predominantly be used for Fortnite and I believe due to the way the game is coded it does not benefit from more cores/threads? Do you have any recommendations for a cheap tower and fan to go inside for cooling? Thanks again for your help.

    Building a Gaming PC

    @orbitalwalsh It is a really nice deal isn't it. Performance-wise, would the system you have just listed have any troubles running games in today's market on high settings with good FPS? And well, kind of. I currently have a laptop, but the screen is broke and is too expensive to replace &...
