  1. System Specifications: CPU: Intel i5 6500 Cooler: Cooler Master Gemini M4 Motherboard: Gigabyte B150m D3H DDR4 RAM: Kingston Hyperx Fury 2x8gb DDR4 Graphics Card: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 970 Windforce Edition Storage: Samsung Evo 500gb SSD Power Supply: EVGA Supernova 650 P2 Rated Platinum Operating System: Windows 10.1 64Bit Case: Carbide Series® Air 240 High Airflow MicroATX Problem: Computer boots, lights turn on and all fans start spinning. Stays in this state for 20 seconds, then restarts. Nothing is displayed on A)HDMI from Motherboard to Monitor B)DisplayPort from Graphics Card to Monitor C)HDMI from Graphics Card to Monitor Reboots and reboots and doesn't stop until power is removed. Background: Took the PC on 2 plane trips totalling 17 hours of flight, a few bumps along the way. 1 Screw came loose off the power supply. Replaced Motherboard and CPU with new exact components. Troubleshooting steps taken: Unplug everything in the PC and replug. Take out the motherboard and CPU and put everything together again. Added 3 more screws into standoffs (Originally only put 4 in due to laziness on first build). Taken RAM out and tried to reboot. Tried another monitor to no avail. Turned off PC and removed power supply cable then held Start button for 60 seconds then tried to boot again.
  2. I personally am a bit chubby, and thus I sweat on most chairs and sometimes my butt hurts because my body is too heavy. I've used the Ikea Markus Black Leather version for an entire year, and all these problems have gone!
  3. To be fair the only games I play are Overwatch and League of Legends... I do some video editing too, you have no idea how much I was surprised by faster rendering speeds upgrading from my Macbook Pro 2014 edition to an actual PC
  4. I cannot seem to find a link to purchase it, but the BenQ KX890 seems to be within your price range...
  5. What sort of plugs does your speakers have? If you don't know can you take a picture?
  6. Build: CPU: Intel i7 4790K CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 3 Graphics Card: GTX 980 Ti (Gigabyte Windforce) RAM: 24GB HyperX Fury DDR3 Storage 1: 500GB Samsung Evo Storage 2: 2TB Western Caviar Blue Case: NZXT H440 Razer Edition Monitor: AOC G2460PG [Main], AOC G2460PQU [Secondary] Mouse: SteelSeries Rival 700 Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Chroma 2014 Mousepad: Razer Firefly Headphones: Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 2.0 Over Ear Microphone: Razer Seiren Potential Upgrades: i7 6700 (I actually don't know how to overclock, might have to read some guides for it) Motherboard Upgrade to support LGA 1151 and DDR4 RAM to 32GB DDR4 Graphics Card to 1080 Ti on release I really really want to game on 4k 144hz but that's not possible yet
  7. True, it depends on how urgent his need for a new graphics card is
  8. You might possibly be able to get a second hand GTX 970 for around 150-200 Pounds.
  9. The R9 380 should be better fit for your purposes - It's usually not a good idea to buy last gen video cards if you want your computer to have any future-proof capabilities at all
  10. Linus, maybe you should do a video for what hardware gamers should look for according to what type of gaming they are doing (for FPS, Low Latency Monitors and High DPI Mice, for MMORPG's Keyboard with more Macro Buttons, for MOBA's High Refresh Rate Monitors, Mechanical Keyboards) etc.
  11. Nvidia has more options on the high end - but for bang for buck I'd recommend AMD. Getting a new RX480 seems to be the better choice, as both perform similarly.

    Hey there!

    Hey everyone! I discovered Linus's youtube channel about 2 months ago when I built my 2 first Rigs (One for me and one for my girlfriend, one works fine but the other is a bit wonky xD) and since then I've grown addicted to his content! I've always been a forums person, and upon discovering these awesome boards I just had to sign up and say hi, and maybe post a bit here and there! Looking forward to discussing with y'all. Cadence
