April brought us the official release of the full range of 8th-Gen Intel CPUs, including the i3-8300T. As such, it seems only right that we take a look at what we can build with this power-efficient CPU!
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!
After answering a couple of questions for one of our readers named George concerning a prospective midrange (R3 1300X and GTX 1050 Ti) gaming PC build last month, he was generous enough to share not only some photos of his finished build, but also some advice for those looking to build similar machines!
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!
Did you ever look at those entry-level CPUs and wish Intel would put in something better than their Intel HD graphics? Well, AMD have done so, and at CES they announced some new Ryzen APUs for us builders on a budget! Read on for details, benchmarks, and builds featuring the new chips.
What a time to be alive! Inexpensive CPUs from AMD, which were already great value productivity chips, are now (thanks to the Zen+ announcement at CES 2018) even cheaper! Let’s get into it!
A Ryzen CPU and an Intel CPU. Which system is a better value if we compare the full PC?
In the past few months, we have written comparison after comparison of AMD’s very successful Ryzen CPU series to Intel’s ultra-fast 8th generation Coffee Lake chips. (For a quick recap, here are a few: Ryzen 7 1700 vs Core i7-7700K and vs Core i7-8700K, Ryzen 5 1600 vs Core i5-7600K and vs Core i5-8600K.)
These processors are often comparable in terms of price and performance, but building a complete PC is a different story. In this article I will show the differences between two comparable Intel and AMD Ryzen systems, based on the i7-8700K and Ryzen 7 1700 respectively.
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we’ve no place to go, let us build! Let us build! Let us build (some gaming PCs)!
Still with me there? Any money left in the bank? Well good, as it’s time to look at the Cyber Monday deals and try to build the best possible PC with the biggest possible discounts! Let’s get to the deals!
