My knowledge is also outdated by about one year, so I'm not going to give you any advice on the CPU/GPU because I am really not qualified to address any of that at the moment. However, I'd like to...

I would be interested in this, however with very limited freetime.

I too bought a Corsair solely out of the belief that if it says Corsair on it, it can't be bad (RM750). But EVGA (and some other brands) does make the better PSUs in the sub-$100 price range, whereas...

Seeing as you're already getting advice on the build I'm not going to delve into that, but I have to say one thing about the PSU.

It's wattage is probably enough, yes, but I would absolutely get...

Yeah, the GTX 970 is great value. 90 % of the performance of a 980 for way less money. But you should wait until the new GPUs are released in any case - even if none of them will interest you, the...

For all I can tell, no. M.2 SSDs I don't know too much about, though. And personally I would probably get a GTX 970 instead of GTX 980 (or wait until the new cards are released which would be pretty...

What exactly do you need advice on?

You need to go to the Nvidia control panel and change the power settings (in the 3D settings tab) to prefer maximum performance. Also do the same in the Windows control panel. My GTX 970 had some...

Verdammt. That means "yes" in Spanish.

I'm sorry, I just realized I misinterpreted (or misread) your post as saying that not all of the games you get audio cutouts in are Ubisoft titles. My bad.

Other forums?

Right. Just a thought I...

Have you tried connecting your headset to a different USB port (I gather it's a USB headset)? If that doesn't help, all I can suggest is a clean installation of Windows. And if that doesn't help, I...

You fail to mention one of the most crucial bits of information - the price. But I'll give my thoughts.

A matter of preference. Personally I would get the cheaper one and update to Windows 10 for...

Judging by your most recent posts you don't seem to have a need to rush it so keep an eye on the prices and get a new one when it's cheap. Or you could get a used i5-4690K. Either way, FX-6300 is an...

Open GeForce Experience, then open the "Shadowplay" tab. Shadowplay is a very lightweight (meaning there is hardly any performance decrease to be noticed while using it) inbuilt recording/streaming...

Can you please tell what your FPS is like with ultra settings and MLAA? Zoomed in and zoomed out during a normal battle (around 2,000 vs 2,000 men)? It sounds like it's alright since you are content...

Hmm... Was that with MLAA anti-aliasing? What was your FPS like? I mean, if you get a decent FPS in the game there's no need to continue the detective work (unless you want to delve into more details...

That feature is near useless. You'll always get better results by adjusting the graphics settings in-game by hand.

I know what you feel like. Though if you do buy an i5 or i7 it's going to last...

Not really. I actually bought Attila only yesterday myself so this was my first time running it, but my rig seemed to handle it alright. I have a relatively affordable PC with an i7-4790K and a...

Hi and sorry for the late answer, I don't read these forums too often.

Short answer: your CPU is a serious bottleneck in a game like Attila (meaning your CPU is working as hard as it can, which in...

All I can say is Crusader Kings II is probably my favourite game of all time alongside M2TW. If you like the medieval era you're going to love it. Beware though, you might end up addicted to it in no...

Regarding WD vs Seagate...
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/blog-survival-drives-by-month.jpg
I wouldn't touch a Seagate drive at the moment.

Yup. I love mine for sure.

Fantastic work so far. Keep it up!

I wouldn't try and overclock a laptop. Overclocking always results to more heat, and laptops are bad at dealing with it even stock. Furthermore, the problem isn't your processor so much as it is your...

Well usually Sapphire is one of the cheaper models and has higher clocks than similarly priced competing models. And they have an RMA system that is apparently pretty bad per se but allows the...

I assume it is new? Not a bad deal (not the best one either), but if you're looking for an R9 280X the best you can do is buy one used. Also, I think Sapphire is maybe the best AMD manufacturer of...

I understand you won't have the budget for a 970 - I was simply saying the 4 GB GTX 960 might not be the best option you have. Honestly, if I was you, I would get a used R9 280/280X/290 or a HD 7970...

Current software doesn't enable "stacking" of video memory in CrossFire/SLI setups, hence you still only have 512 MB even though you have two graphics cards. However, that is going to change with the...

There won't be another chance to pick Rome 2 up for 75 % off before Christmas so if you are looking to get the game, now might be a good time to do so. However, the DLC is only 50 % off, I recall, so...

It is obviously your call. I wouldn't put my money on a product that I don't trust, either. I just wanted to provide my thoughts on the matter.

To be honest I haven't really played Total War in three years or so. I should change that soon enough.

That is simply not true. For example EA is currently a partner of AMD. Besides, while...

Don't get a 4 GB version of GTX 960, because the card totally lacks the oomph to ever make us of that VRAM (and whenever games start to regularly require 4 GB of VRAM the GTX 960 will be way too weak...

I like my BitFenix Ghost quite a lot for quite a few reasons. It looks pretty good to me but it also has great airflow and the noise levels stay down nicely. It also offers a lot of different options...

There is no way you have damaged the GPU if the computer case was closed, don't worry. If there is a problem it is not your fault.

Also, welcome to TWC. And nothing wrong with your English. Most...

Why are you upgrading? There is hardly a difference to be noticed.

As for your question, yes, it is most likely going to be very easy. You simply install Windows again.

Glad you like it.

Sorry, I kind of forgot about this.

Well, I've been mostly listening to viking metal for a couple of days now so I thought I could share this:

ONcF4GDiSUI

Amon Amarth is fine, but these guys...

I like his attitude, and his contributions are sufficient as well. I don't feel like 28 tutorials and 3 total conversion mods should be required for Citizenship. He is using the knowledge he has to...

Alright, sounds good. I will be pretty much away for the whole 2015 after January 5th so I can't help you out more, but it would be great to hear how things turned out when you're done.

I would probably be able to give you a helping hand but as I said I won't have any spare time in 2015 so you will have to find someone else to help with those, I'm afraid. And thanks.

Yeah, it's worth getting should you decide to upgrade your GPU. In general AMD makes the better GPUs below the €300 mark. But don't worry about that now, the GTX 750 Ti you have is decent enough for...
