Tried to get Lyn into Windows and Android gaming but she won't yield. No interest at all in anything racing, action, FPS related etc. The only games she likes are stupid detective type RPGs, mahjong and other kinds of puzzle games. Men are indeed from Mars, and women... Well, nobody really...

Well? Have you chosen anything yet?

Build yourself an X79 system with a 3930K, fill it up with 64GB or RAM, assign 60GB of RAM to ramdisk and leave 4GB for Windows. This would cost you roughly $4000 to $5000 for top-end components plus a couple of decent graphics cards. Either that, or like Hammer said, stop namedropping and get...

The only downer on the Lenovo is the fact that it doesn't have a full HD screen. Resolution is only 1366 x 768. If you want a laptop with a full HD 1920x1080 screen for full HD gaming, the you need something a little more expensive...

A 17 inch decent gaming laptop for £700? This is hard... For £750 you can get this Lenovo G780: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008HD8GH6/ref=asc_df_B008HD8GH610097442?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B008HD8GH6 Range: G Series Model Name: G780...

+1 to everything Hameister said. If I were you I'd get a PSU of one of the brands he mentioned, plus SeaSonic which I have used extensively in the past. Many Corsair PSU models are actually made by SeaSonic (also XFX and some Antec models plus some other smaller brands are actually SeaSonic...

I think I'll probably delay jumping onto the the 7 series for as long as possible, of course as long as my twin POV 560Ti Ultracharged puppies will be still providing decent enough framerates at full HD resolution with upcoming games of the next couple of years.

I meant to write "a 240GB SanDisk Extreme"... :D

Good to know Hammer, thanks!

This looks like a nice setup. I'd add to that a 256GB Sandisk Extreme SSD as your Windows disk, plus a 2TB SATA3 Western Digital or Seagate hard disk for data. If you are collecting HD movies, then you'll need all the hard disk space you can get. Mobo-wise I'd personally would go for Asus or...

Mason, if you went through the list that Hameister gave you and the problem persists, then your best bet would be to get a qualified tech to come and have a look. There are far too many things that could be wrong there, and even with our help you just don't have the experience to diagnose it...

You're right Compu, 4.4 would be OK for as long as you finetune your voltage so it is really the least that your CPU needs in order to be stable at that clock. Regarding how much it would shorten the life that's anyone's guess and ultimately depends on how good is your individual silicon wafer...

It's not just the temperatures, it's really how much juice you're feeding the thing. A CPU with a top of the range watercooled system will not get that hot, but with constant overvoltage its life would be shortened anyway regardless of temperatures. Still a lot of people do it just for the...
