My PC normally has 4GB of RAM, its DDR3 and 1600 MHz. I have a 2GB DDR3 1333MHz lying around so thought why not have more RAM. I know that performance is not that huge between 1600 and 1333 MHz. I set the RAM to work in 1333MHz, inserted the 2GB stick and everything works fine. So I was exploring the BIOS some more and found this area about DIMMs where you can read info about your RAM sticks I guess. There were these numbers (which I have no idea what the hell they are) and they seem to be different for these two sticks. Now my question is what are these numbers and is it a problem that their numbers don't match? The PC works fine and there are no errors. www.imgur.com/rUnRbyR,2SFqWNq

I was buying a new PC when I found out about LinusTechTips. I've been searching for some graphics card review and you came up nearly every time I searched for something, I made a post about the build on the forums and I got some pretty helpful answers and I'm a proud owner of a good cheap mid-range i3, gtx 750, 4 gig PC. I've also watched a lot of Techquickies (if not all of them) and I've always liked what the show was like and watch almost all videos. Btw, tea is my favorite drink! (random stuffs)

So, I installed Windows 8 a while ago, I kept Windows 7 along it and kept using Windows 8. Recently I've been having some driver issues with Win8 and I decided to switch back to Windows 7. I try to boot Windows 7 and it goes BSOD and says driver icqs equal or not, or something along those lines. What should I do?

I love the waterproofness of the Z2 (cool underwater shots) and the phone on general is just great and dbrand is also pretty cool, I've received a skin for my ps4, it came fast, was custom to my needs, looked great and applied easily.

Private-messaged it to you.

If you are using this power supply (http://raidmax.com/psu/rx_530ss.html) then that won't give enough amps to the R9 270X gigabyte edition of editions; requires 36A (http://www.game-debate.com/hardware/?gid=1863&graphics=Radeon%20R9%20270X). AMD CPUs and GPUs can be really power hungry, you have both so that's a lotta powa. I wouldn't dismiss the graphics card as defective immediately, I would recommend trying it with another board and another power supply (one with 500W+ and 36A+ rating, ideally something like 600w and 40-45A, just to be sure). Perhaps, but not enough power? Beeping is usually there when there isn't (enough) RAM in the system.

Honestly couldn't care less about him, or any other lets play youtuber. Their content is so easy to make, they upload it daily and earn lots of dollas for it (because why not). I really don't enjoy lets plays that are millions of episodes split into 10 minutes segments, like why would I even watch that. I've seen couple of his videos, nothing poticular. I'm just glad it's him and not that obnoxious Tobuscus, I really dislike Tobuscus.

No worries, 2GB will suffice you.

Love the slick look of it

Yes, that is true then, R7 265 if definitely better than 750Ti. But how odd is it that my pricings are so varied (in Bosnia): Sapphire R7 260X (2GB) - 198$ Gainward GTX 750 Ti (2GB) - 191$ Sapphire R7 265 (2GB) - 244$ To me and my available prices, my previous post makes a lot of sence. Those brands aren't cheap, they're both very fine. No idea why my prices are like this.

or you could let a calculator do it! (http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp) You didn't find the post because he did the episode on Techquickie and not on his channel.

Honestly, you shouldn't buy anything bellow R7 260 (See Linus' review of the R7 240 and his rant about low end graphics cards). I don't see them being very useful compared to their prices. I don't know about pricing in the USA, but if it 260X is somewhere in line with 750 Ti, I would recommend getting the 750 Ti, even if it was 10-20$ more expensive (again, not sure about your pricing, but 750 Ti is actually 7$ cheaper in my country). 750 Ti will play pretty much anything at high and 35+ FPS(there are obvious exceptions, Witcher 2, Metro Last Light, FC3 etc.) (so will 260X but 750 Ti will do it better). You will have a very good experience with the 750 Ti (Uses less power; maximum 75W, 260X goes up to 100W+, runs cooler and quiter than 260x and delivers more performance, 750 Ti doesn't even need a 6pin connector, ASUS does have one I think and you can get half a dozen more FPS out of it comapred to non-6pin 750 Ti). I built a budget gaming PC for my friend (G3220, 750 Ti, 4GB RAM) and he plays pretty much everything at very playable FPS (We didn't check the FPS but I'd imagine it was above 35 FPS). TL;DR: Get 750 Ti instead of 260X if you can.

I like its HUUUUUGE screen, lots of pixels (holy shit 1440p) and it's thin bezels. Basically, I love the front part of it.

Hmm, what do you think about switching to Ivy Bridge? The Ivy Bridge G2030 is pretty much the same as G3220 only Ivy Bridge (same price too), but the motherboard costs a lot less (128KM - Haswell, 85KM - Ivy Bridge). From what I've read and seen, they're pretty much the same with just some minor improvements. That would curb down the cost pretty significantly for me, as I'm looking to get the most efficiency for my money. Also, this motherboard says it supports PCIe 3.0 but with i5-3xxx and i7-3xxx, what does that mean? I can't use PCIe 3.0 with my Pentium CPU?

Pretty much, there's some RealPower ones as well but they are much cheaper and I can't even find the spec list for it so it's probably not even that great. There's a frontier 500W one for 20$ which is obviously and probably really inexpensive, cheap and just bad, also it only gives 18A on its single 12V rail so it won't work here. My budget is G3220+750Ti and then get the cheapest mobo, ram and psu.
