For those of you that are trying to plan in the months ahead for your build, you’ll want to make sure that you grab your Windows OS before July 29th.
That’s when Microsoft is pulling the plug on being able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free, that’s when people putting their own builds together are going to have to buy Windows 10 at a retail price.
If you’re looking for the absolute best mechanical keyboard for under 100 dollars then you really need to take a look at what VicTsing has created.
Although they aren’t the most well known company for gaming peripherals right now, they are definitely well on their way of becoming a well known name in the industry. I’ve been using their newest keyboard for almost a week now and I’ve got to say, it’s the best keyboard I’ve laid my hands on by far.
VicTsing is a consumer electronics company that has recently been coming out with some high quality yet affordable gaming peripherals and I’ve got to say, I’m extremely impressed with what they’ve done in the mechanical gaming keyboard market.
For today’s post I’m going to review the EVGA GTX 970 4GB graphics card. Some say that it’s the best card for 1080p, but does it really deliver?
I ask if it delivers because when the GTX 970 series cards were first being released and people checked the specifications of it with different programs some people found that the card doesn’t actually use all 4GB of the video memory, people were saying that it only uses 3.5GB of the video memory.
Through my personal research, I’ve come to find that the 970 is indeed able to use all 4GB of the VRAM, it’s just that the last 0.5GB is accessed a lot slower than the rest of it.
I’ll later share a video that I found to be pretty informative in that context but…
I’ve had many people pop the question over to me regarding which anti virus program they should be using in order to ensure that they are protected from the nastiness of malware, trojans and viruses that are all around the world wide web.
It’s crazy because there are more of these viruses than ever before and as we are all moving forward into this digital world it should be in our best interest to be as well protected as possible.
I actually have personal experience with a few programs and I’d like to explain why I use the anti virus that I use over the others…
Speakers are an important part of your overall build and so I’m curious, for those of you that actually have a build, what kind of speakers are you using with it?
So many people have been asking me lately about SSDs and really how much faster they are in comparison to a normal hard drive. I’ve experienced both of them!
When it comes to booting up your operating system and getting the fastest load times in your games, SSDs are definitely the way to go. When it comes to saving money for extra storage, HDDs are the way to go.
It really comes down to how much you’re willing to pay and how badly you want some super fast boot times when you press the power button on your PC.
Most of the builds that I share here use a micro ATX motherboard to save on the cash amount. When it comes to having the lowest price build possible, 9 times out of 10 you’ll be using a micro ATX to save a good bit of cash.
It works just fine, I used a micro ATX board with my first build and moved up to an ATX board when I wanted to make a new PC for myself. I found it less stressful for little things such as using the PCIe slot for an adapter and plugging in the USB slots and buttons into the correct prongs. Little parts like that are easier with a bigger board.
In the everlasting battle of the Intel CPU vs the AMD CPU, which one reigns champ in your eyes? If you’re a PC gamer then you’ve got a strong opinion on one!
You’ve got the more widely trusted Intel brand which has an immense amount of cash flow to work with to create breakthroughs but you’ve really got to have some cash ready…
Or you’ve got the more open source AMD side which allows for a lower priced option for overclocking to higher performance levels…
If you’re even slightly involved with the PC gaming industry then you’ve definitely got a strong opinion on one over the other.
Keep in mind, this post is about the processors, we’re not talking about graphics at all here. I’d absolutely love to get everyone’s opinions on why one is better than the other!
It’s time for a CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra GUA880 review for many don’t think it is of good enough value for the price. I’ll do the hard work for you.
I’d like to analyze the actual hardware included with this desktop, really to dive deep into it to really see what it’s capable of.
Just like most pre-built gaming computers, the video card isn’t at all ready for today’s standard of gaming – mainly for the AAA titles which is the type of games most people really want to play.
Most people nowadays also have at least a 1080p resolution display that they want to game with. With this desktop as is, 1080p would be doable but only for small indie titles. You’d have to play on 720p and probably even lower if you’re wanting to play the newer games on lowest settings.
Recently I finished a new PC build for myself, my dream build, and I had bought Windows 7 64bit and I decided to take part of the free upgrade to Windows 10.
