Corsair 850TXv2 or 1050HX

Hey guys, So basically my current 850TXv2 is having problems. It will make odd rattling noises and it's not the vibration from it hitting my case. It also made this weird noise in certain areas of Skyrim on the map screen. Anyways I decided to RMA it with Corsair but it's been out of stock...

Best Gaming mouse for me?

I've been using the Logitech Mx500 pretty much since it came out. Recently the scroll on the mouse wheel is very intermittent but other then that it works fine. But it is showing signs of degradation so I'm also interested in a new mouse. I was looking at the Razer Imperator 2012 as it looks...

Turning off computer or leaving it on with an SSD boot and HDD storage...

You got it backwards, I was wondering about the wear and tear for leaving it on overnight. Would shutting it down be better for the SSD or have any impact on that department if any considering majority of the time it's idle when I leave it on overnight. I'd like to stress I'm not trying to...

Turning off computer or leaving it on with an SSD boot and HDD storage...

Previously before I bought an SSD I just left my computer on all night unless I was leaving for an extended period of time. Currently with my SSD I'm doing the same thing. Now obviously like everyone I'm trying to keep my SSD from wear and tear but I'm not going to extremes such as moving...

Moving Users folder from SSD smart?

Anyone have their take on this? I was strongly considering it due to how certain games such as Witcher 2 (regarding save files) and programs (WinRAR) using the Temp folder then copying to actual destination. This is of course to minimize the writes to the SSD but somehow I get the feeling that...
