Thanks! I was looking at the meshify the other night. We think alike.

Hey everyone, I have a pre-buult I've done work on, but I'm looking to build my own PC from scratch. I'm looking for a midtower* ATX case that has good cable management spots and has a simple standard layout. USB 3 hookups on the front is a must. I'm looking for something kind of clean, I'm coming from a Thermaltake Armor Revo Gene so I'm looking to change it up. Any questions? Comment. Recommendations? Please. Thanks, -Andrew, SkullHQ

Any recommendations? Never had to do this before.

Hey everyone, I have been having trouble lately with my 2tb Toshiba drive that I got with my computer. Basically, when transferring to an external hard drive, through USB 3, the transfer speed fluctuates like crazy. It'll be up to 50mb/s and then sit idle at 0mb/s for like thirty seconds, then start again but staying below 10mb/s. When going into folders full of pictures on my main drive the loading times for thumbnails will be probably 10 seconds or more (I'll even have the green loading bar at the top of file explorer.) The drive idles just fine, but any time it has to do heavy lifting it tends to struggle. I've also been having slow downs when gaming lately when I know my graphics card can handle most games at pretty high settings. Is my hard drive dying? Is it because it's almost full (only 40gb left)? For reference: I've run a virus scan, no issues there. I update my graphics card drivers regularly. Windows always updates. Any help is appreciated.

I have the horrible R7 260X which just cannot handle gaming or video production anymore. It is the odd part out in my rig with the rest being fairly high quality. A shiny new GPU would substantially help my video editing, video recording, and gameplay.

As someone who has seen projectors, this appears to be somewhat revolutionary? Being so close to the wall and displaying such a large image is incredible.

And you think that'll work with an RX 480 as well?

(For people wondering why my late response, I forgot I posted on the forum) I currently have whatever generic PSU came with my case. It is literally grey. And every few weeks it decides to turn off while in use. I honestly have no idea what it is. And my GPU is an r7 260x. Pretty terrible. My budget is basically whatever I need. I just want what is best for the combination of parts I have.

I have a PC with relatively good specs but a horrible GPU. I'm planning to buy the RX 480 when it releases at the end of the month. With a combo of my current specs and one RX 480, what power supply should I get?

My friend isn't great with computers. He bought a $500 "gaming" PC a year or so ago. He wants to upgrade his Nvidia 600 series GPU which means he has to upgrade a lot of other components. I offered to help since I know more about PCs. Every part I picked is compatible except the motherboard (ASUS M5A99FX PRO) doesn't support SLI Nvidia GPUs, it only supports crossfire on AMD GPUs. I wanted to know if the nice people on this forum could help me find a motherboard that can SLI Nvidia GPUs, (gtx 960s) with an AMD processor, and the option for at least 16GB of space for RAM. You're help would be very much appreciated. -Andrew, SkullHQ
