    New ($3k) gaming pc. M2 drive worth it?

    Ahh I know what you're saying. I use the 3 screen's for much more than just gaming. For example, I'll have my primary game in windowed in the main screen while I play an MMORPG on the left screen and sometimes watch a show on the right screen. Or when I'm programming, sometimes 3 screen's isn't...

    New ($3k) gaming pc. M2 drive worth it?

    What's the logic behind that? I don't think I could go back to using a single or double screen, lol. edit: I'll probably transfer me 3x screen set-up to my new PC with the GTX 1080 and get a single screen for my old one (since I have a $100 discount on a new screen). Or I may sell my old...

    Don't those require a water supply for it to cycle through? Most I've seen include a large clear cylinder that it draws water from/too, which you then have to change out every few months. Sorry, I'm completely new to liquid cooling but you make it seem really easy for even a beginner :D I...

    Thank you both, this is exactly the kind of info I was looking for!

    New ($3k) gaming pc. M2 drive worth it?

    Thanks so much for all that helpful information! While I want to stick with an intel processor, I will probably go for an i7-8700k (6-core, right?) like you suggested. I plan to stick to gaming (I do computer programming but that doesn't require anything from a hardware perspective) so a 4 or 6...

(Because we all know we need a cutting edge 3k dollar gaming pc to play those 2D indie games on steam...

    GTX 670 or Radeon 280x?

    Hi guys, my friend is building his first system and wants to get the Sapphire Radeon 280X, but I'm trying to pursuade him to get the GTX 670 since I'm biased and like Nvidia drivers way more. So I thought I'd get a third soure for him, and ask you guys for oppinions on which you think he should...

    ATI Radeon Displayport problem

    I'm an avid gamer so I keep my card up to date. Updating the BIOS though, I haven't ever done that, I will give it a shot and let you guys know. As for RMA'ing the card I can't at this point I've had it since 09, but yes it might just be a faulty card after all. As for checking the events...
