    2012 Build Ideas & Plans

    That seems pretty clear, dont spend more money on your present computer, but try to overclock it and see if that helps your problems. I think upgrading your computer would be throwing old money after new, with the possible exception of getting a new GPU which you could use in a future...

    2012 Build Ideas & Plans

    TBH I dont think waiting and seeing in tech works. The next new thing is /always/ just around the corner so it can be easy to just carry on waiting, especially with the price premium a lot of new tech has. Having said that, an upgrade to a system can be a cost effective way to get more life out...

    Computer reboots but doesn't find boot drive

    I inially thought SSD or RAM issue, but im pretty sure you can probably count RAM out now. With ubuntu you can try getting to a terminal by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, but you dont really have to. The fact that you are getting to a boot loading screen indicates that there is /probably/ nothing...

    review this build please

    While the memory you listed would probably work, it would downgrade the speed automatically to run at 1333, so unless you are going to overclock it there is no point in buying more expensive memory. I would say something like this patriot memory is probably cheaper and would work just as well...

    New mid range, little bit of everything build

    hmm, not quite sure how that happened, throughout the post I have been reffering to Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 which actually takes the total to £581.52. Sorry about that. Still, the lack of USB 3 and only the one HDMI port wouldnt be a massive issue so long as i could use it with the main GPU...

    New mid range, little bit of everything build

    Final Build list - CPU Intel 2500K Retail Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z68-DS3 RAM - Corsair XMS3 16GB Kit HDD - Crucial M4 64GB - Amazing what you can find when you look, I didnt think anything with Sata 3 would be as cheap as the Intel I originally had. My main concern however is...

    New mid range, little bit of everything build

    I thought they still had to be made by the same manufacturer, Thats pretty cool then, I shouldnt need any more cards. Also explains why I was having trouble finding out what the on-board GPU was. Thanks for the heads up on the CPU, you have given me food for thought, but now I think I know...

    New mid range, little bit of everything build

    Thanks Danni, Fantastic info Im not set on over clocking, its more like something I would like the option to do. At the moment its not worth the £30, but in a couple of months I could buy the HSF with no problems. So the question for me was the £10 for CPU alone worth keeping the option open...
