    Rant: The issue as I see it.

    A GTX 1070 with a 2500K will net you MIN 55+ FPS on almost every gaming title available @1080p high or in most cases, ultra settings. Want more? That leaves either 120/144/165Hz monitor gaming and/or 2K/4K gaming. Want to play 144Hz @2K? Oh you gotta get Nsync please drop $700 for a new 27"...

    Button on the Right

    Hey all, So I recently purchased a RedDragon 104-Key blue MX knockoff keyboard and so far I love it. I also grabbed a SteelSeries Rival 110 mouse... it's okay, but I've been a Microsoft Intellimouse 1.1A user since forever. I miss the 5 button mouse with a button I can click with my ring...

    Ring Doorbell w/chime pro $164 OTD w/code FIVE4U

    I think this is only for 24 hours but Amazon has just the ring by itself for $150+... spent an hour watching reviews and basically the unit is as good as your wifi, so if you have a big house like me seemed a no-brainer to get this deal...

    Will Z370 bring anything new?

    Are manufacturers leaning toward U.2 now or is it still M.2? More USB 3.1 (10Mbps)? Or is it a repackaged Z270? What's new or different?

    AMP! 1070 GTX - Weird GPU Z 0.8.9 Power Consumption?

    As title indicated, I'm maxing power consumption at 84% and avg in the mid 70s. Saw in the [H] review they got it up to 112.4% I've never been able to hit 85 and that's with increasing power in Zotac Firestorm to 120%. Could one of my 8 Pin cables be bad? Apologies, but what am I not seeing here?

    Z270 chipset and Caby Lake

    Okay.... So I'm still running on a 2011 motherboard and CPU, Z68 MB and 2500K. I don't think I've ever gone that long without upgrading those components and I started out on a Cyrix 686 series P 166+. I love it when I somehow manage to upgrade at the right time and am able to keep my core...

    Video card prices gone up?

    PS3 AC4

    Anyone else notice the controls are a bit glitchy on the PS3 version? Like you sometimes get stuck or you can't make an obvious jump? Also, sometimes the camera angles get really bad, like when fighting you can insta-die because you can't see what's going on. Mostly these happen to me...

    Rage worth $15?

    It's on sale on Steam.... if, in reality it's not a better game than say Quake 4 then I'd think no. So, is it a better game than Quake 4? Quake 4 was decent when it came out.... I'm debating on waiting until it's 75% off or hits the under $10 bin somewhere...

    Still playing Dragon Age

    I've taken a couple months away, and now I'm working on my third play through. Granted, I didn't get it until Ultimate Edition... I'm still finding new codex's (or actually reading them this time). They really did a lot to ensure each race/faction does make the game *just* different...

    Z68 and Lucid Virtu

    Okay, probably a dumb question, but... Physically, how does this work? Do I use the HDMI port from the Z68 MB out to the monitor, or can I continue to use the DVI from my video card? If the former, I'm assuming the HDMI port is the best option? ...my board has four video outs, DVI, HDMI...

    Dragon Age... just wow

    Okay I know this game has been out for awhile... I never picked it up before now because, well, it was an EA game. Never thought anything EA did was good. Yes I know it wasn't made by EA, but still, it was an EA game. At any rate, I have been playing RPGs since Ultima III and was totally...
