Gpu Upgrades recommandations Hello, its been a while since i did any upgrades to my computer. Currently i have a radeon 6870 1gb. I am planning to upgrade to either a Nvidia 760 or 770. Can anyone tell me about how much % of a performance boost i would get if i upgraded to either one? Current specs: i5 2500k OC'ed to 3.9gghz 8gb ram asus p8z77-v 700 Watt PSU from cooler master I don't really want to wait for the new lines of GPU from AMD. From my experience, AMD's mid tier(Example: 6870 vs 560 ti) cards are slightly better than nvidia's, but run much hotter.
Constant disconnecting for usb mouse and keyboard For a while now my mouse and keyboard has been constantly disconnecting. The connection seems to just completely stop responding. I have tried taking the usb out and plugging it back in to reconnect it but it does not work, prompting me to restart the computer. I have uninstalled all usb drivers and reinstalled, as well as reformatted my computer but the problem still persist(i even changed mouse and keyboards and it still doesn't solve the problem). Many times i would get a BSOD about Usb bug code error but i just can't seem to pinpoint the problem. The conclusion i came to is that it must be a hardware problem, most likely the motherboard. But before i go off to buy a brand new motherboard

Is there really a need for liquid cooling? Alot of people i know are all worry about how games now a day need liquid cooling. A few of my friends are asking me to build a budget gaming computer, and i figure the best part to save money on would be to leave the liquid cooling out. Is it really necessary to have a liquid cooling system to run games like bf3,diablo,lol,skyrim etc...? From my experiences, liquid cooling is only needed if your going to overclock..
Dual Band router 2.4 and 5.0 How exactly do I connect a desktop computer to 5.0ghz? I can easily do it with wireless devices, but I have no idea how to do it on a desktop. The router I am using is a belkin n600 And will 5.0ghz be better for Torrenting?
