So, although the graphics cards have been out for a while now (although still a little hard to get hold of), the games with RTX support haven’t really been there. So now that some games are coming out with shiny RTX options, we’re going to take a look at performance and ask what on earth RTX is actually used for!
With the launch of the 2nd-generation Threadripper 2950X, we of course had to look at what would make a balanced PC with this 16-core beast!
AMD are coming out swinging, and they’re out for Intel’s blood with the flagship Threadripper 2990WX! With a bonkers 32 cores and 64 threads, this is not a CPU for the casual gamer; it’s a workstation powerhouse, designed for when multi-core performance is king.

Although some of us are happy enough to mess around with overclocking CPU, GPU, and RAM, others of us prefer to just boot up, install, and go. That is where an option like the i5-8600 comes in! In this guide, we look at a solid build to compliment the out-of-the-box performance of the i5-8600.
In a bit of a twist from our normal build guides that focus on building around CPUs and GPUs, today we’re looking at the new 8th-Gen B360 and H310 chipset motherboards, and creating some builds with them!
At this point I’m pretty sure Final Fantasy fans are used to the delays that come with a PC release for a Final Fantasy game, yet in this case that frustration can finally be washed away with hype: Final Fantasy XV for PC is here! Now let’s get to the builds!
