Hi, so my brother asked for a PC build and I haven't a clue about what to buy since I'm out of the market (since the i7 930 that I'm still using). So, this'll be his first PC since he's a laptop user all his life. His Budget - £1400 He needs it mainly for: - Adobe Premier Pro - Adobe Lightroom...

Hi, So, I've been out of the TV market for 8 years now and the family wants a new TV Last TV was a Panasonic ST50 (Plasma). It was one of the best back in 2012. Now with terms like OLED, QLED, HDR, etc, I've no clue where to start looking. Is it the best time to get a 4K TV in 2020...

Still have this running as main PC. though I don't game much nowadays. can't believe mines been 8 years. Probably taking the Xeon route like others have done later next year.

thanks, this gives me a starting point. I'll do some research on it.

Hi, so I've bought some HDDs. And like all HDDs I receive, they need to be tested for any faults or if they pass the test before actually putting them to use. e.g. WD HDDs, using WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics to perform tests to see if it passes. 4-6tb HDDs take around 2-4 days to finish...

ah right thanks, guess I will go with your build after all

Thanks orbitalwalsh for the recommendation. But, any reason why you went Micro-ATX? as well as changing to that specific Motherboard. I've researched that the MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC Motherboard is one of the top end B450 motherboards with good VRM to easily help with the overclocking...

Hi, so I've researched and read a ton of forum threads took ideas on what I want to build. Now I just need your help with checking if everything is in place. My Requirements: - Gaming build (Fortnite, Destiny 2) - 1440p Resolution - Need Case (Sound Dampening, Good Cable Management, Not too...

That's not a bad idea actually. my gpu is a HD Radeon 5850 (no clue if its good or crap). would that make a difference? The reason I said I wanted a new full build is because my mate is also in the market for a gaming rig, and that we would probably be getting the same stuff. He's been a laptop...

Hi, Its been so long since my first PC was built (help by a friend). And I think its time for a new PC since mine is so outdated. (CPU: i7-930). I have not caught up with the current market and as confusing as it is I've got less of a clue what to choose. I will not be re-using anything from my...

I see, well it occurred when I backed up my HDD (while it was dieing). I used 'windows copying' (robocopy?) which may be the cause. later used syncback to properly do it. Thanks for the advice, I will try it out.

Thanks for your reply. I see what you mean. But windows has a feature to scan + fix the drive: How does that actually determine it that my files are corrupted then? unless it already hashed all my data? The reason I haven't used this is because I have other files on the drive and already...

So, basically my HDD (which I said I would backup years ago) was dieing on me. losing sector counts by the hour. luckily I retrieved all the important data before it died on me. Now, I realised I had copied some corrupted files within the process. My question is, is there a free file...

So basically, I have done a clean install of windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The problem is how should the updates be installed? I've read online that I should avoid specific updates due to windows 10 and telemetry. There is even updates which gradually slow down your PC (probably to persuade...

So I plan on changing/adding wood flooring to the house. It will be my first time doing this. So, I'm not exactly sure if I should do this myself or hire someone to do it for me (though the price may be hefty right?). Any advice on wood flooring in specific rooms (bedroom, living room...

Went to the gym and worked out!

I'm decorating my room for the first time and I wanted it to be as perfect as possible. Also long lasting of course which is why I may be over thinking it with the easycare haha. I guess you're right. I will probably decide to go for the paint stated in my first post. It sucks that I can't have...

Thats what I was afraid of. I searched most retailers and still can't find that specific colour in Dulux easycare paints. I thought I had a massive ranged of colours to choose from. I guess not. now to decide on what to go for... Thanks for your reply

So, I've looked into the ranges of paints Dulux offers. Is Dulux Easycare actually worth the money compared to Dulux Travels in Colour? I was after some wipeable paint as this will be my final/top coat for my walls and I guess the 'wipeable' effect helps it endure and last longer? This is the...

Thanks for the tips and the recommendations. A light coat of white? you mean buy another Pure/brilliant white paint to cover the previous colour (or act as a undercoat?) and help with my appliance of the top coat (clouded pearl)? Well, I've been told Dulux has top quality paint, and I've...
