Well, my PSU's just over half a year old so I really doubt thats the problem, but I'll check it anyway. Are there any ways to make sure it works correctly?
-
Its a Corsair RM 650, so decent quality and more than enough wattage. The only other thing I can think of is maybe the pci controller on my cpu/mobo, but I'm not sure that will affect overclockability.

Tried, but after not changing anything other than lower the clock speeds to 400-500 mhz and causing me to bluescreen, didn't help.

I've recently tried to overclock my MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G, but for some reason, as soon as I apply the overclock on Afterburner, I get a notification saying "NVidia display driver stopped responding", as well as the core clock dropping to around 500-700 mhz, and I'm unable to get it back up to stock unless I restart my computer. The weird thing is, when I first got the card, those were successful and stable overclocks, which is why I have them saved. Here's a screenshot of GPU-Z:

The Corsair CX series PSU's aren't the most reliable but you should be fine. Get a R9 380 or a 380X instead of that 960 4GB, unless you really need CUDA. Other than that, seems good.

I've been running this Thermaltake NiC L31 air cooler since my G3258 days, and its just not enough to keep my 4790K at decent temps under load. So, I've decided to get an AIO. The problem is, I've never done anything beside air cooling before, and my case's page doesn't exactly give many details on what kind of cooler I can fit in there. All it says is "240mm Radiator in front", which doesn't tell me anything on how thick it can be, etc. They do list compability for my case on the Neptom 240M page, but since I barely know anything about radiators or liquid cooling in general, I'm not sure if thats a good enough cooler, or if there are any better value ones.

Don't go 8gb. Windows and chrome easily use up to 6 gb, leaving you with only 2gb for editing/gaming, which is pretty crappy.
-
I have a 4790K and a MSI Z97A GAMING 6, so a pretty mainstream setup. Should be fine.

Hi, I'm planning on buying a 16GB kit (8GB x 2) of DDR3-1600MHz ram to add to my current 8GB (4GB x 2), but I've read things online that have conflicting viewpoints on mixing ram capacities. Can someone tell me if it will work? They're both Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 CL9 kits.

the i7 is way better for streaming and rendering, but gaming performance is about the same as the i5.

So, I just updated to Windows 10 build 1511, and the first thing I noticed are these weird arrows on some of my icons. I've tried rebooting, but no change. Does anyone else have this issue, and has anyone found a solution? Below are some screenshots of what I'm talking about.
-
Well, probably go with a 2GB card, but since I don't know your current GPU, I'm not sure if the upgrade would be worth it.
-
Thats what I'm saying, a 15" monitor probably isn't 1080p, so a 4gb graphics card would probably be a waste.
-
Depends on the resolution of your monitor and your current card. If its a 15" monitor I'm going to assume that its not 1080p, so a 4gb graphics card would be kind of useless.

Quad Core at 3.1 Ghz or Dual Core at 4.4?
OneMCGuy replied to TheGreenMachine's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I had a G3258 at 4.2 GHz, it was fine for running about "regular" apps like Skype and Chrome, but the moment you open any semi-demanding game, tabbing out and trying to type things like URLs and skype messages became really hard, with a few second delay between the keypress and the character showing up on the screen. (I know this isn't the keyboard's problem, as I'm using the same one now with an i7-4790K and have no problem whatsoever.) The lower TDP was the only useful advantage with the Pentium.
