Ha, as it turns out, putting together a build isnt as easy as it seems. At least as far choosing components go. I want to grab a gtx 970, but I just cannot make my mind what manufacturer to go with. I have been thinking about Gainward and their stealth coolers, primarily because of ease of...

Hello everyone! The time has finally come! I decided that the long wait shall not be prolonged, even despite it could potentially be beneficial, as according to rumors amd is going to release their new line of gpus next month. Anyways, something tells me that wont affect polish market too much...

Hello guys! Yet another time, while browsing the web my net connection stopped working. At the same time windows displayed message saying, that there is a conflict with another IP in the network, or something along the lines of that. It already happened to me a few times (although quite...

I have been thinking about building a new rig for quite a while. Now it seems like a good time to do it, with gtx 960 launch just around the corner. For a new pc I will also need a new OS, since old trusty XP just doesnt cut it no more. I have been scouting the internet in search of decently...

Hello everyone! So geforce 960 was supposed to be released some time this year, according to certain sources, it was even scheduled to hit the market in october. If you were asked to sepculate, do you think we are still going to see 960 this year?

Hello guys. I am bit of a noob, so I am a little bit puzzled with windows OS being 32 and 64 bit. As far as I know 64 bit is necessary in order to fully utilize 4 core cpus. But how about intel i3 which only have 2 cores? Does it matter that they have 4 threads? Which system should I get for a...

Hey guys! I think this forum is missing peripherials section, or perhaps my close study failed to reveal it. If that is the case, a mod is kindly requested to move this thread where it belongs. Let's cut to the chase. I wanted to ask if you happen to know any place in Europe where I could...

hello there! I was thinking lately about building a really budget gaming rig, that would allow me to wait patiently until ddr4 is fully released into desktop market. I have managed to find a nice hawell refresh pentium cpu for a decent price, but now I need to find a mobo for it. Do you happen...

Hello folks! It has been a while since I posted anything on these forums. But finally time has come to upgrade and move my PC, which means saying goodbye to ethernet cable. It saddens me, as my internet connection isn't the fastest out there (20Mb/s) and now with WiFi card it will work even...

Hello everyone! I just happened to come across one fancy case. I think that alot of you might not even know that it exists, so I decided to share it with you. The case is called PC-CK101 and comes in shape of a train! How awesome is that?

I have just visited fractal design page to find info about the old ARC midi and guess what I have found. Fractal Design ARC mini r2 has been discontinued. Even though it hasn't been released yet. Does anyone know anything as to why they did it? I am super curious. I thought it was a decent...

I have spare sound card, which I am not going to use, and I thought it could be a good idea to sell it. There is one problem though: I do not have packaging materials from it. Do you know what is the best way to protect it from static if you don't have a spare anti-static bag?

Does anybody know some decent store where I could purchase swiftech helix 140mm fans? I've heard they are decent and I would like to install them at the front of my arc midi v1 case. I just can't find them for a decent price anywhere in Europe. I've found them in US for 10$ each, but I'd have to...

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I last posted anything on the forums. Now, however, things have changed a bit, since I finally started assembling new rig. I've recantly purchased fractal design arc midi tower, and I am trying to find 180mm fan filter for the side panel. It turns out to...

What do you think of the following build? It's for a guy who doesn't do much on his pc other than gaming. He wants as much horse power as possible withing ~640 GBP price range. He specifically said he is not going to overclock it. Is PSU ok, or would you get something with little bit more power...
