    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Advice on buying a Gaming PC

    Hey y'all. My laptop's gpu recently crapped out and now only runs on the integrated graphics. Rather than paying £350 to replace the gpu, Imma try and sell the laptop. Doesn't really make sense to shell out that amount of money for a gpu that was beginning to become a bottleneck for me anyway...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Anyone have L4D2 on an SSD?

    I'm curious to know if it actually speeds up the load times much before I go through the hassle of putting it on my SSD. I have a feeling the load times are mainly the time it's taking to connect to servers and thus having it on my SSD will be of little benefit... but what do I know.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Vortex II High CPU Temps

    I'm getting temps of 55-70 while browsing/streaming hd vids and when I'm gaming I'm reaching 90 (would probably reach higher, but I put it to sleep at that point):sweatdrop: .

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Annoying framerate drops in Borderlands (original)

    I was playing Borderlands for the 1st time last night and the framerate was constantly dropping between 60 and 45. I tried playing around with the settings as you do and even turned everything to low, but nothing helped it. I then figured it may be a lag issue, so I went to single player and...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Any retailers selling Hitman Absolution Professional Edition with a Steam Code?

    I'm usually not that bothered if my games are linked to steam, but I'd really like the achievements for this as I imagine they'll be fun to go after. I also want a physical copy of the artbook though, so I'm unable to purchase it directly from Steam. Do you guys know if there are any retailers...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Thinking of buying an SSD for my laptop...

    Hi, would it be possible to transfer the OS to the SSD without erasing everything on my current hard drive? I have a lot of games downloaded and it would be a huge pain in the ass having to download them all again, considering I need to do it after 11pm because that's when I get free downloads.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Steam - Purpose of 'Pre-Purchasing'?

    I just had an ad pop up on Steam for pre-purchasing Dark Souls. This is a game I do plan on getting, but what is the point in 'pre-purchasing' it? Are they inferring that it'll cost more to buy when it's actually released, or something?:confused:

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST I'm losing my mind...

    I find myself checking for updates on my order like every 5 minutes (except when I'm working or sleeping). I even do it outside of PCS's working hours when I know my order isn't going to be updated, but I still feel compelled to look anyway :eek:

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Would this work?

    I was thinking of cancelling Windows 7 I ordered with my laptop and then just downloading the Windows 8 preview. Would I even be able to download it without an OS?
