Hello, After eight years of using a laptop for gaming, I am hoping to build a gaming PC that can last for just as long. My Alienware laptop from 2015 has been struggling to play newer games lately even on very low settings and I think it is time to retire it and move on. I am looking to play more recently released games…
Hello! I am seeking some opinions on custom build components/options through MicroCenter for a computer very similar to the PowerSpec G472 desktop. While nearly all of the CPU specs, generation, case color/size, price point ($2,500 or less) etc. of the G472 appeal, I was seeking a computer/motherboard that would support an…

Hi I'm looking for a system that will be able to play star citizen upon release at max settings and at least 60 FPS. Budget is around $750 US. Not exactly sure where to start as my current system is a self built Phenom II black edition that got upgraded with a RX 580 and am starting from a clean slate.
Hi all, I built my last PC just going into Microcenter and having someone walk around with me and my barely googled list. This time, I want to make sure I get the best of what I need. Mind you, my PC lasted 9 years of hard use, so that's a success in my book. Can someone please advise on the best/wallet friendly PC build…
Essentially, I want to game without crashing constantly (specifically Fortnite :P). I have integrated graphics, and I want to get a graphics card to hopefully fix this problem. However, I believe that my power supply is only 180w, which SUCKS for gaming (I think). And I know that Intel really sucks with the wiring and…

There's so much emphasis on gaming and streaming computers, but considering these PCs rely heavily on graphics, are these also good for graphic design and photography? I would think there would be a high turnover of graphics so a gaming pc just needs to be fast on transitioning between graphics rather than increasing the…
Hello! My brother is making the switch from laptops to a desktop and asked me for help. However, it's been 6 or 7 years since I last did my build, and I'm feeling a little lost in the woods.
