Hey Guys, I came to my computer this morning to find it had Blue screened and it gave me the following error message: STOP: 0X000000F4 (0X000000000000003, 0XFFFFFA80084AC450, 0XFFFFFA80084AC730, 0XFFFFF80002FD48B0) Any ideas guys :P? If you cant come up with anything specific I'll...

Hey guys just completed a new computer build today (and my first self built!) After starting to install windows 7 on my SSD and the Windows 7 set up completed step 2 (Expanding files) it had to restart - that's fine the problem is I hadn't set my SSD as device for the computer to try and boot...

It wasn't really covered in high school - History is shockingly compressed here in the UK I think we spent less than 6 hours on WW2. I do wish some you yanks would learn to call us Britain or the United Kingdom and not England :P though - England has not existed as a separate entity since the...

Sorry im rather new to building my own PC (this will be my first one) could you elaborate?

I don't think so but best buy just started here so I will take a looksie at their UK website! Can you fellas recommend any good external HDD's around the 1 tb mark?

doh you are right mate! Sorry I've had a nightmare :P I got confused because past few days I was finally realising getting an "old" i7 in 1366 would be silly when I could get a new i5 2500k in 1155 :P. Will edit my post!

Oh and whilst we're at it what do you make of this screen? http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=bsd&cs=ukbsdt1&sku=421257

Thank you for the really helpful reply now I'm thinking of spending a little bit extra and getting a HAF X case as it has better cooling and more importantly dust filters however I'm unsure if it is compatible with my mobo - although I suspect it would be - could you lemme know :P? Cheers...

Yeah sorry that was just my machine build I'm planning to get windows 7 home premium for £100 :). I can stretch to 200 and not to be a snob but I'd rather get a more "quality" brand :P. Could you suggest the small screwdrivers + what are the zip ties for? Cable management?

You can't go wrong with getting an i5 2500k which will overclock beautifully is around £100 cheaper than an i7 and in gaming yields identical if not slightly better results. If you get the 2500k you will need a socket 1155 motherboard probably in the $150 dollar range for you. I myself am...

Hey guys posted about a month or so back on my building of a new PC anyway the design I have has formulated pretty solidly into as follows taken from a post I made on another forum. "Okay that is great now this is the build that is forming now: Cooler Master Haf Rc-932 Case Coolermaster...

Brit here :). I think the US would win but I don't think it would be a pretty conflict. Fights between countries with proper military hardware and soldiers are never going to be pretty affairs - when you throw nukes into the equation. Nobody is a real "winner" in a full scale conflict...

Would that GPU really be worth it - I asked a friend who is more PC building savvy than me and he said it wouldn't be worth it :P?

As far as case is concerned its one of the better ones within my budget that I've seen - has 3 fans and its going under a table so it doesn't really matter that much :P. And its basically "plug in the parts" which since this is going to be the first computer I've ever built myself :P. I want...

I'm seeing it as an investment in future proofing at the moment :P. Just out of interest what sort of build would you suggest?
