Hello all, I want to build a small machine, mostly used for: - Gaming (high graphics and playable, not fussed about anything higher/ultra or 4k); - Editing (large files on Photoshop with a lot of layers etc. but nothing too crazy); - Decent storage for media - Will last me 3-4 years without...

Yeah, I wasn't too happy with it after I put it in. I think I'll have to replace it with something by the end of the month, especially since it's a 450D case with the window looking straight at it.

The only fan noises I hear at idle are the case ones, and they're not loud enough to be an annoyance. Absolutely great card though, just installing TW: Rome 2 to see how it plays on Ultra. Thanks, I was wondering about the SLI caps. Just removed them now!

Got my 970 on Friday, but only got home today to put the build together. It's so pretty.

I'm hopefully a soon to be owner, patiently waiting for the Gigabyte 970 to be restocked so I can get my shipment sometime next week. Trying hard to resist switching it for another just to get it a few days sooner.

Thank you! I found another case that I like the look of and has good airflow (Corsair 450D - seems to be in a lot of suggested builds): YOUR BASKET 1 x EPIC BUNDLE: Intel 4790K, Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7, Kingston 16GB 2400MHz Kit, Superflower 750W PSU & FREE STUFF!! **£50 SAVING** £561.97 1...

Dear computer wizards, In September 2009 you helped me build a lovely PC for about £600 (which I'm using right now and will put in the living room) and I've now come back for some more advice. The PC I built worked really well, however since 2009 I've discovered Steam and... well, let's just...

I'll try to get my hands on another PSU, as well as try to boot it with the bare minimum like Seraph suggested and with the old GPU and test it out to see if I get similar problems when running it. I'll get back to you with the results later seeing as how this might take a little while to test...

Ah, cheers. So the problem might be elsewhere then, bugger. Anything I could do to check or narrow down the problem?

Hi, over a year ago members on these fine forums helped me pick out components for my first build and I believe I got most of them over OCUK. The build went fine but recently I've upgraded a few things and I believe I've run into a few problems. My original build consisted of: - Gigabyte...

Mrk - I have the same time on mine too, hopefully it arrives by the morning. Haven't used DHL before so I don't know how good their services are.

I just received an email from the place I ordered saying that they've dispatched my copy of Windows 7 Home Premium using DHL.

Well bugger, I didn't get any with the case either. I got the standoffs already in the case, but no brown box with extra screws. I assumed that the screws would come with the motherboard itself... my noobish side has emerged. Seems like I'll have to go to the guy I got the case from, cheers mate.

After waiting for 2 weeks for my PSU to arrive, I finally got all my parts. Most of them have been recommendations I got from the OcUK forums, so I thank you all for that. I decided to start building it and seeing as how it was my first build, I used the build guide that greywolf made here, all...

Damn that looks good, too bad it's over my budget. Is there by any chance something for £50-£60 that would work? Not really looking to max it out either, don't mind compromising some of the graphics for a cheaper card.

Looking forward to this, once I found out it was like Balder's Gate I was pretty much sold. But I'm putting together a PC that I'm hoping to play this on, but I bought the parts before I found out I wanted to buy Dragon Age on it (was planning to not play any games whatsoever on it). I have a...

From what I gather, it'll be Thursday and Friday. That's from the BBC News article linked in knowledge123's post.

Thanks, would a Corsair VX 550W do fine with running everything and that graphics card?

I'm building a new system and I bought the Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P motherboard, which has no on board graphics. I won't be playing games or anything of the sort, mainly Photoshop work, music and videos and hoping to run Windows 7 on it. So I was wondering if you could help me out with...

I'll leave the case for now and perhaps upgrade the case next year when I get more money, student life really screws with your bank balance. Thanks a lot for the help mate, I really do appreciate it.
