need advice with my first gaming PC

I designed this build for him, the main idea was to have a solid ground for him to upgrade from. Pick up a 970/equivalent 6 months later and it would be a solid build. http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=wish_lists&wlcId=501592&action=wish_lists

$600 home desktop

I'm looking for some advice and some tweaks for a budget home desktop. The PC will be used for basic stuff, nothing strenuous, stuff like, mail, the web and Microsoft office. The budget is about $600 + monitor, it's mostly a bang for a buck PC. It's for my mum, she's not that fussy but she wants...

New home PC

I would get a smaller PSU but the only significantly smaller is the VS350 which doesn't have an 80+ Certificate. The first case you linked is over double the price of the one I've currently listed, the second one isn't on PCCASEGEAR where I'll be buying everything from. I'm also reluctant to go...

New home PC

Thanks again for all the feedback. I'm open to going for a smaller case, looking at a micro atx case. I don't have much experience with smaller builds. Any advice on moterboards and cases? Also just ignore when I said overclocking, I forgot that I was buying a locked CPU. Kinda torn between 1x8...

New home PC

Thanks for the responses, looking between the Samsung 850 Evo $175, the MX100 $160 or the MX200 $180. Any large difference between the three? I know they're all very good however. All 2x4gb sticks are $100 regardless of Mhz. PCCASEGEAR doesn't stock the non modular CX-430 and there was a bit...

New home PC

The PC is a workstation, predominantly used for browsing the web, outlook, office and other minor tasks. Budget for the actual build is $700, cheaper is better but it needs to last. I'll be buying everything from PCCASEGEAR Australia (http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index) No brand...

Need a good, well priced mouse

Go for the Razor Deathadder 2013. It has great build quality, great performance and is the most comfortable mouse I've used. You can get one with an adjustable glow called the chroma for extra $$$. it has a green LED standard.

Laptop for a student

Thanks for all the responses! I'm not currently considering a tablet or transformer (unless it's bumblebee). The Zenbook looks very promising, it's reviewed well, good battery life and performance. It seems to hit all the right notes. I'm even tempted to buy the model up, second hand.

Laptop for a student

I've decided to go for an ultrabook, any advice about which one to go for under $1000? So far I haven't really found anything to suit the bill per say. At around $1200 or so I've found the Aspire S7 which looks good but is sadly out of my budget range.

I would but I still don't know what used one to buy. With new laptops I ruled out the chromebooks because I want it to be compatible with my windows desktop. I don't really know what I'm looking for in an ultrabook or notebook.

Laptop for a student

I need a laptop for the next couple of years. It'll be used predominately for school work, writing essays and stuff like that. It would be nice if it could play indie games and some older triple A titles on low but it's not a requirement. It needs to be able to last 6-7 hours of light use (word...

Haswell-E + 4xTITAN Build

One nitpick the Titan-Z is a dual graphics card so you can only have a max of 2. If you want our help you should be more specific about what your goin to use the computer for and a budget. Do you really need 64gb of RAM?

What do you think the Witcher 3 will take to run ?

It all depends on how well optimised the game is.

YAY upgrade time!

I'll address the areas I'm under performing in first. I mainly see lag in big fights in planetside 2 and when I'm driving a vehicle. I can't run unturned on max settings (I think that's a matter of CPU and RAM). I want to use the 4790k and the MSI Gaming 7 because mainly for the good...

YAY upgrade time!

I'm reusing everything, I should've clarified my point, I'm only looking for a replacement motherboard and CPU. It's not important when I buy as It's not really under performing majorly. I want to move to an intel CPU for better single thread performance and better overclocks. My question is is...
