    Everybody should get an SSD, it saves sooooooo much time waiting for Windows does updates to install!

    There is actually a much more useful "up directory" feature in OSX, simply right click on the window title in Finder and you should be presented with a dropdown (like you asked for) that goes all the way to the top level directory!
     
    Give it a try

    Yes it's a good card, but for that money I'd get an AMD R9 280X, or  GTX 770.
     
    Like this 280x, only £205.

    Or this GTX 770, £228

    For a little bit more (£284) you can get this ridiculously good deal on an AMD R9 290 Tri X from Sapphire, card has an RRP of £400 and is comparable to GTX 780.

    Hi Everyone!
     
    I'm new to the forum, I decided to join since I just purchased parts for my first 'custom build'.
     
    I'm using a AMD FX8350 CPU with 4X 4GB G.Skill RipJaws X 1866MHz Ram in a Asus M5A78LM/USB3 motherboard & a 500W PSU.
     
    For the graphics card, I am still hanging on to a hand-me-down Sapphire HD 4650 with 1GB RAM, but I think it is finally time for an upgrade
     
    I've got about £250 in my budget & was thinking about the MSI Geforce GTX 760 Hawk -
     
    Do you think this is a good upgrade? I know the colour of the accents is not really important, but does anyone do a black & blue GFX card?
     
    Thanks for the help!
