Gaming on a budget => new cheap or secondhand

Hi guys, I've been asked to make or buy a build for my son. He's on a tight budget, somewhere around €500,- (max), and he would use the computer for his homework but also for gaming. Only game that needs to run on a higher framerate is CSGO. Al the other games he plays, he doesn't mind to drop...

Going for 1440P with a GTX970. 144hz, G-sync, TN or IPS... Confused

I tried something, don't know if that is what I might expect. I turned on DSR and set the resolution to 1440P. Desktop and applications look like crap, all blurry. Games, on the other hand, they look and perform surprisingly good. Some numbers (didn't touched the graphical settings, just...

Going for 1440P with a GTX970. 144hz, G-sync, TN or IPS... Confused

@simas: If I might ask, how does the 970 perform with the 1440P resolution? Do you have to turn down a lot eye candy to maintain 60FPS? If you downscale to 1080P what's the look of it and how does the FPS goes?

Going for 1440P with a GTX970. 144hz, G-sync, TN or IPS... Confused

I do play other games also. Most of them are racing games and a few action games a la Batman, Shadow of Mordor, Metal gear solid... Those games are more fps hungry and harder to feed. But they do run at fixed 60FPS or around 80fps. CSGO is somewhere around 300FPS. I wanted to go for a second...

Going for 1440P with a GTX970. 144hz, G-sync, TN or IPS... Confused

Hi, I'm looking forward to buy me a 1440P screen. But: a lot is being said and written. -1. My card would be not powerful enough to maintain 60FPS on a 1440P resolution. -2. 144Hz is useless if you can't maintain 144FPS or more. -3. G-Sync is an overrated option. Especially with a 144hz...

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming adding a PCI express sata card - performance

Yep, there is one M2 connector. Was thinking about the same but performance wise, would it be an upgrade or just a small hole in my budget?

2 hdds start to click since change from Ivy to Skylake

My bad of incorrect formulating my problem. But when I heard my daughter her laptop making the same "click" I knew it was the "parking" sound. Describing a sound or noise is kinda hard. And it didn't crossed my mind to make a video or soundrecording.

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming adding a PCI express sata card - performance

Update: Contacted ASUS and Microsoft about this issue. It's a know problem and Windows related. Even if the harddrive is set to never go to sleep it 'will' go to sleep in seconds and park the head. And every time the drive is actuated, it will unpark the head which make the awkward clicking...

Here are the costs for a NAS enclosure with poor 1Gb ram and a Marvell dual-core 1.3 Ghz processor and space for 2 drives around 350 dollar. So I thought building something myself would be more powerful (if needed) and expandable. For now we are using a WD myBook USB2 connected to the router...

GTX 970 combined with I5 2500K

I recently bought Watch Dogs, Crysis3 and Far Cry3. They all seem to drop into the lower FPS, even with a lot off candy turned off. Resolution is 1920 x 1080. Some older games like Batman AC, NFS Shift1&2, GRID2... they could run smoother, I guess.

I think I'm going for the Asus. For what I read here and there it must be the quietest of them. Only downside of this is the factory OC. The FTW runs at 1006Mhz and the Asus runs at 915Mhz.

Outstanding in performance, but what about it's fan? For me it must be quite and perform very well. But because of my N560Ti was also silence, I guess it's a subjective thing. Both Asus and Evga perform the same, I'ts just the fan noise and in-case temperature that will make me decide. PSU...
