I've been on the search to update my main screen which use for games, media consumption and Photoshop. The Razer Raptor is currently on sale £339 for the 144hz model. This is more than was looking to spend but if it's good for the price then l'd consider it. Really what my question would be is, for that value or less, what's the best bang for the buck at 1440p sub £300? Anything over 144hz im fine with. At the moment the Odyssey G5 is looking like my alternative

Check the post - did mention the bio issue

Is it worth spending the extra on a 5500xt/1660 though? The 5600xt is a bit out there but used might be an option

I don't need anything overkill, I'm trying to run Warzone at the moment and there's a slight struggle/ Just want something reliable

The £200 is already considering selling my other card unfortunately, stretching the budget as is

Might look out for a refurbished model to save a few quid, brand new 5600 is a bit much for me

Just saw that link, looks pretty good. Is a bit more expensive than I'd want to pay but will definitely look into it more

Is the 1660 worth the price difference over the 1060?

Any recommendations for sub £200? At least 6GB is preferred, would also prefer having 2 HDMI ports if possible but not necessary. Smaller width would also be better due to having a smaller case but can make whatever fit, just want the best all round card. Considering the 580/590/5500xt Or on the green team 1060/1660? Haven't kept up much with the newest generations so a bit lost here Ignore the build below its my old one - New build is r5 2600, 12GB RAM

I dont no, not sure if I know anyone that would have one either. Nope, no USB devices do.. Not sure what to do

Can't even get through the password screen as there's no keyboard to type it in. bit of a sticky situation

Am trying to fix a friends older desktop (IMEDIA S2185), the issue is that the USB devices work when booting the PC but as soon as the OS loads (Windows 8.1) they stop working altogether. I've tried the devices in my laptop and it works fine. Have also tried resetting the CMOS, and adjusting BIOS settings but no luck. Any ideas of what could be causing this?

I would call but the cost of calling a number is America would not be worth it. I live in the UK so I had to use their ticket system. Takes a day for each reply, waiting 3 days to find out that I wouldn't be able to get a replacement.

I can't call them as they only have a US number, I live in the UK. I created a ticket with which they gave me that response, so I said they it was ridiculous and was there any other option. They responded that was the only one they could give me

Has anyone else had experience with XFX customer support? I've wanted to RMA my PSU but they've come back saying that I will have to pay for shipping to Holland, which is fair enough. But I may also have to pay the importing tax if it occurs once it's complete. which can range between 50-100 euros (more than the power supply is worth). On top of that, it could take up to 8 weeks for the RMA to be processed and shipped back. Not going to lie I expected more from the "5-year warranty" than having to pay more than the component is worth to get it fixed. Anyone else had any bad experience? Want to see if someone else managed to come to a better conclusion

Only over the past week or so has it for really bad but it's happened every once in a while in the past SSD condition is fine, got it a few weeks ago brand new, it's an Samsung 850 Often when gaming my it'll just reboot, I've used furmark to stress test and it just crashes as soon as the test loads

When my PC is under stress, it reboots to a black screen, not sure why this is. I've noticed that when it reboots, sometimes, my login details for certain applications have gone. Steam for example; If I shut down normally it remembers to stay logged in, but if it reboots when gaming or during a stress test it logs me out Anyone know why this could be? Logged me out of Spotify, Battle.net, few other applications.

Tested all of the other hardware separately, none of them have issues. Only issue was down to amount of stress on the GPU. When under load it would cause the system to reboot. Tested the GPU in a whole other system and it was fine. Can only be the PSU

That's going to take time and I really need my computer atm

Take two on this thread. Have determined that it is the PSU so need recommendations for a new one. Current build is: R5 1600 2x4GB Corsair LPX 2400Mhz MSI B350M Bazooka R9 380X 4x 120mm Fans (2 with LED) 1x 80mm Stock wraith cooler, 2 x SSD, 1 x 1TB HDD As well as a large number of peripherals (Mic, Keyboard, Mouse, speakers, headphones) Current PSU is a XFX XTR 550W, which has been fine but have determined that it is causing my PC to reboot due to lack of power so need something beefier. Below £90 would be best. Thanks

Just means no gaming for a week, or more, with Christmas coming up, who knows how long it'll take to sort out Just have to make do

Okay, going to be pricey then, hoping to avoid it but if it has to be done then so be it. Will see if I can test the card in another system before looking into a new one. Will start doing some research for the worse case scenario that it does need replacing. Really appreciate the help, at least I've come close to a more realistic conclusion.

Damn, really.. I've contacted support for both the PSU and GPU already, I'm worried that the GPU is out of its warranty period though, only by a few days. If that's a case, would something like a 560 be up to par with the 380x? want to stick with AMD. Fingers crossed something works out

Yep, or anything stressful really. Ran Prime95 on the CPU, that was fine. FurMark for the GPU can either cause it to crash in seconds or after a minute or two. Have noticed that it is often triggered by tabbing out/closing games/stress test? haven't done ANY overclocking, turned everything off that affects it in anyway.

It just black screens, and restarts. No error message or anything. Never fully shutsdown Got the PSU around August 2015
