Do You Need To Wear Gloves While Building Your PC?

by Colton

Some people believe that you must wear rubber gloves when you go to put your PC build together. It’s not entirely necessary and I’ll tell you why!

PC Hardware Is Extremely Overpriced Right Now

by Colton

Many of you in the comments area are asking about alternative parts mainly when it comes to graphics cards or RAM. The thing is, no matter where you check, it’s all very overpriced.

Pre-Built or Custom Gaming PC, What’s The Better Route?

by Colton

A pre-built PC is ready to go right away whereas a custom gaming PC takes time to get to an optimal state. Should you go with a pre-built or a custom gaming PC?

Luckily it doesn’t take a computer scientist to put a PC together and there is plenty of material out there to help you out! Let’s go over both choices and decide which is the better route.

What’s Going On With AMD’s RX Series Video Cards?

by Colton

In any market that you look into there is always an up and down slope of pricing and stock due to supply and demand, having enough product and other means.

Right now all of the RX series graphics cards from AMD are either priced at over $400 or they’re completely out of stock on other websites.

How Come?

The answer is BitCoin mining. It’s unfortunate that the market had to move so drastically because of it but that’s definitely why we’re not seeing any RX 480’s/RX 580’s on the market for an acceptable price point right now.
