I've always had this assumption with regards to potentially less well known/ less 'reputable' brands like Zotac, PNY and INNO3D; my assumption has always been that these brands will make lower quality cards in some way compared to bigger brands like MSI, EVGA and Gigabyte because of the lower prices. Is this me making an incorrect assumption or is there some truth to this? Just curious. Thanks!

My windows key is linked to my account, though I wasn't planning on reinstalling my OS. Why is this so essential exactly? I'd rather not have to unless it's completely necessary.

Appreciate the advice, thanks.

I'm planning to change out my AMD x4 860k in favour of an Intel i5 4460 (Yes, i know it's old). I'm happy with physically installing a new motherboard and CPU. I was just wondering if there are any additional steps to changing out a CPU such as driver installation that I need to be aware of. Thanks!

Hi, I'm currently searching for a monitor at 1080p resolution with a refresh rate of 75hz or thereabouts. I'd be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction- price isn't a huge issue though preferably below £120/$150 US. Many thanks!

Hi guys. Has anyone else been experiencing tab outs while gaming in fullscreen mode? Me and a few friends have noticed we're all having this weird issue where we randomly get kicked to the desktop like we alt+tab'ed while playing games (notably overwatch). I have a theory that it's to do with NVIDIA's latest drivers. Can anyone confirm or tell me they've been getting the same thing? Thanks!

Simple question; I've just got an SSD and I want to completely clone my current HDD data onto it (In a way that I can also use the SSD as my boot drive) is creating a system image in Control Panel a good way to do this? Thanks.

I have the 1050ti and I definitely recommend it; the 4GB of VRAM is definitely worth the extra $25 US (~35$ CAD)

I'm about to add an SSD to my build. To start using it once it's installed in my case, is it literally just good to go without any file storage formatting, etc? Thanks.

I would reinstall, but I'm using a version of windows 10 that was upgraded from windows 7 so i don't have a windows 10 install disk.

I'm currently using a 320gb WD Blue hard drive in my PC, and for Christmas I'm upgrading to a 120gb SSD. How can I clone the entire contents of the HDD onto the solid state drive? I am currently using less than 100gb of space on the hard drive. Thanks.

I'm currently running a GTX 750 Ti and an AMD X4 860k ("Quad" core @ 3.7GHz) in my rig, and I want to upgrade to the GTX 1050 Ti. Will I experience any bottlenecking with this CPU/Graphics card combination? Many thanks.

OK, thanks for the help guys.

Like I said, I'm upgrading rather than building an entirely new PC so I'd like to spend as little as possible while getting good value for money- I don't have a budget as such.

I'm looking to upgrade my video card which is currently a GTX 750Ti. I'm either gonna buy a GTX 1050 or a 1050Ti. I'm not looking to spend that much though, so is it worth getting the 1050Ti for the extra £25 ($30)? Thanks.
