Hello folks. My manager has charged me with getting our new pc for work (busy bar in Glasgow.) The requirements are pretty minimal but also rather out of my sphere of competence in that I think I'm looking at a dedicated graphics card, however if it were cheaper i could buy an old banger for...

Good morning and happy Sunday all. I found out about an interesting charity, based in Oxford, that works on gaming input solutions for the disabled. There's a good article below from PC Gamer as well as a link to their Facebook page. These folks do some pretty inspiring work in an area I take...

Afternoon folks. Can anybody recommend a decent splitter for alternating between two hdmi outputs? My flat mate has a pair of hdmi/dvi monitors and he'd like to be able to switch from desktop to his xbox without having to unplug anything. Anybody have a similar setup? What should we expect to...

So having finished my exams up I have the first evening to grind up a sesh with the old ball and chain on Guild Wars 2. Here's our setup, sorry for the low quality. Anybody else have a gaming bro/girl dual setup?

Right gentlemen I need your services. The missus, in her own adorable way, has ballsed my PC. She was trying to download a codec for WMP and has picked up some sort of crapware. Its done the usual browser switch, which I've been able to undo using Chrome, however I have a weird file in...

Hey folks.Just finished work and came home to my pc (which has been running on), looked up HW monitor and noticed some really odd variations in my CPU (non k version.) On my AMD chip the cores are pretty uniform in how they heat up however on the intel version the temps are as follows and seem...

Morning folks. Here's an unofficial look at the new 770/80 cards. It looks like a 770 will have a similar performance to the current 680, which I guess makes sense, though as I have never paid attention to a shift in gpu series (I know) I was perhaps expecting my current 670 to get blown out...

The recent Bethesda announcement - a collaboration with Shinji Mikami (of Resident Evil fame,)looks pretty tempting. I love the survival horror genre, though I can't think of too many titles that have resisted the urge to go for a more action focussed game in recent years. Hope this turns out...

So after a good deal of consideration, I have decided to build my girlfriend a PC to run Guild Wars 2. I couldn't be more happy with my PCS rig, but the only regret I had after all my research was that I didn't get to take part in any of the production stage, so after further research and with a...

Evening all. Could someone chime in on the comparison between an m5a 78l micro atx board and the m5a79 mobo for an AMD spec. The former is rated as SATA 3gb/sec and the latter 6. What's the pracitical effect of this? When is my pc actively handling this amount of data transfer? Is this likely...
