    Replacing graphics card in 5 yr old PC

    Thanks for all your comments. I'll take a good look at the RX480 to see if I can get over my bias to NVidia. If not it will be the 1060. Happy New Year!

    ****Gigabyte Osmium keyboard, Krypton mouse and Krypton pad review****

    I've just purchased the Krypton mouse and yes it is a great piece of hardware. I just love the interchangeable bottom and I'm currently using the base with the ceramic feet and it just glides across the bare desktop. My only criticism is that the two buttons on the 'little finger side' are...

    Should I be disappointed with my SSD benchmarks?

    Yes OS is on the SSD. AHCI mode was set prior to the installation. With regards to write-back cache, the "Enable write caching on the device" tick box is selected against the drive in Windows 7 device manager. Is this what you are referring to? Thanks

    How to connect fans

    Thanks Tealc, The H80 has three speed settings so I'll experiment with those. I'll see how much noise is generated and maybe consider a fan controller. Can you recommend one or are they all much the same?

    Do I need to spend £90 on a case?

    Thanks for all your comments. I'll go off now, do a bit more research and make my purchase. I think I'll end up with the CM690-II as I think it will give me more than enough options in terms of system configuration and scope for future upgrades, rebuilds etc. I do like the look of the...

    Do I need to spend £90 on a case?

    Hello, Just looking at cases for a new PC build. Looking at the various threads I see people happy with £30 cases and others happy with £90 cases. I like the look of the Antec 902 and Coolmaster CM-690 II Adv. But do I really need to spend as much as £90 for a case? Another thread highly...

I want to stick with Intel but don't know the differences between Core 2 Quad and i5. I'm looking to spend around £160'ish. The PC will be used for gaming, low level photo...
