  1. This would be a great replacement for my aging and scratched monitor!
  2. I'm currently runnig intel integrated graphics since my graphics card broke due to faulty memory. I'd love to be able to run some of my more intensive games again!
  3. Lines on screen, blue screen and failure to log in on a one and a half year old i5 4670k machine. It is also running windows 7.Please tell me if there is a better category to post this in, I'm fairly new to this forum. Hello everyone, I'm running an i5 4670k machine with 6 gb of memory, a msi gd65z87 motherboard, asus r9 270 and a 128 gb crucial mx 100 SSD with a very old 2tb mass storage drive.Today I was playing a game when suddenly my monitor went white and a looping noise was played. Upon restarting, I realised that lines were present on the screen along with other artifacts. This is presentin the bios and also on the login screen. I cannot login without getting a blue screen but I can login in safe mode. System restore does not fix the issue. I am not getting an error code on the motherboard (only AO which means that everything is working normally).Here are some pictures:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2u-khvYcZa4eFhoWUxYen...https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2u-khvYcZa4dDlKbGU2b2...Any help would be much appreciated. -Billy
  4. Thank you for the replies! Although an amd R9 390X would be a good option, I really wanted to leverage the G-Sync capabilities of the monitor, and I was unsure if free sync was supported, or if it was up to the same standard since it does not run on a dedicated processor. Also I was wondering if you could explain the differences between the (many) different i5 processors, if they are all consumer grade chips and they don't really bottle neck single GPU builds then why not just buy the cheapest unlocked one or the cheapest outright one? Yeah, I didn't really think that it would but like I said, I am prepared to dial back the graphics settings a bit to give meet the refresh rate that I want. If I'm playing a game that revolves heavily around visuals (The vanishing of Ethan Carter; Skyrim; Tomb Raider; The Witcher Three etc) I can always dial back the refresh rate instead, and even the resolution if I'm having that much of an issue. Thanks for the reply -Xyatron
  5. Hello everyone I plan on building a PC within the next couple of weeks that features the Asus RoG Swift PG279Q 165hz 1440p gaming monitor that Linus reviewed recently. However since most of my budget is going towards the monitor, I have to really try and save as much money as possible on other components. I want to run: Competitive games at 165hz 1440p Ultra settings Triple A games at 165hz 1440p medium+ settings The refresh rate is more important to me than the graphics settings, and I would be willing to turn both of these down to maintain the high refresh rate. My questions are: What is the cheapest intel i5 Z87/Z97 based chip that I can get that will not bottle neck the graphics card that I decide to buy? I was looking at the intel i5-4660 (UK) (USA) Is the Nvidia GTX 980 currently the best option to buy at the current price point (I would've thought that it would be considering scaling issues with SLI)? Thanks for reading, -Xyatron
  6. That's ok, some other places sell the items which I listed anyway, Thanks for the reply though -Billy
  7. Hey guys, I'm interested in aftermarket passive MOSFET and southbridge coolers (since they seem like a good way to colour match the motherboard with the rest of the build), and I was wondering if any of you have had any experience with them. Also, I want to know what sizes and how many I would need - specifically for the msi Z87 GD65 motherboard. Here are the MOSFET and southbridge coolers which I was looking at.
