    Question Wanting to Build decent pc

    No, not worth 1000 AUD. Not even close, especially used. The 3570k is 6 years old and is only four cores. Its performance would be pretty similar to something like a Ryzen 3 1300x... which is a lower performance/budget CPU and not what you'd want. My last build had a 3570k and it was good while...

    Question Is it worth an upgrade (CPU & GPU)

    Your 4690k should be able to hold you over until Zen 2 (Ryzen 3) comes out in a few months. It's on 7nm instead of 12 or 14 nm like with Zen 1 and Zen 2 frequencies are supposed to be quite a bit better than Zen 1 since it's no longer on the 12/14 nm LPP (low power process, beneficial for lower...

    Question Metal prongs missing from cables an issue?

    That's normal. Usually just older power supplies will have that; it's not used on modern motherboards. You don't need to worry about it missing. You can see the pinout below (24 pin). I've also linked the Wikipedia page if you want to read that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX#Power_supply

    Question Need help buying proccessor

    Integrated Vega 8 won't get you very far but it'd be better than Intel Integrated graphics. Not really sure what the build is for.. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Kpq4nH If you're looking for a prebuilt then refurbished is probably your best bet, but it'll be hard to find anything that's better...

    Discussion Need new Power Supply

    You're probably going to have to spend a bit more than that for a good power supply. Even here in the States where things are cheaper, a quality PSU is usually going cost more than $50.

    Discussion Wifi Antenna help

    Yeah the 2.4GHz band is your best bet. This is what I would buy You can also get a directional antenna to use with this to get more range if you need to (I don't think you will)

    Discussion Wifi Antenna help

    Well first off, what's the limiting factor? Is the signal in your car just bad compared to in the house, are you using the 2.4GHz band while he's using the 5GHz band, does he even get the bandwidth the package he pays for is supposed to give? The 2.4GHz band will give you superior range but the...

    What game are you playing now?

    Tried Overwatch when I was at my friend's place and it was a blast. Bought it as soon as I got home. I've been really bored of games lately but Overwatch is loads of fun. Totally worth the $20 I paid

    Discussion Ryzen 3 CPU's Launch beating i3's at lower price

    Ryzen kicked ***. EPYC is gonna steal a good amount of the server market away from Intel Now I just hope Vega is more promising than the marketing is making it look.

    Discussion Upgrading my current build (Thoughts)

    I would really recommend not trying to future-proof your build. If you don't need the upgrades yet, don't upgrade. New products will come out which will be more efficient, faster, cheaper, etc. Your money in the future will get you more performance than it will now (if that makes sense to you)...

    Show Off My budget build

    I think you should be more than fine. I haven't played Rust in quite a while but my GTX 780 has always handled it just fine and the 480 is even better.

    Show Off My budget build

    Meh, 580 was just a refresh anyway. Vega is at most two months away and I'm looking forward to seeing how that turns out. Really want AMD to get back to pushing Nvidia and Intel around. It's been too long.

    Discussion Best Laptop?

    If you haven't decided already then you might want to try putting 7-10 pounds of stuff (to represent a gaming laptop) in your backpack along with a couple notebooks and a maybe a textbook and see if you're alright with the weight. My laptop weighs about 5 pounds and I just carry it and a...

    Best router to keep me from getting booted

    Yeah a good VPN would be a lot better solution than a new router. You can have the best router out there but nothing is going to be able to stop a strong DOS/DDOS attack. Your ping might take a slight hit, but if you're connected through a VPN you'll be far less susceptible to people booting...

    Discussion what are the best android phone/tablet that root friendly?

    My bad. What I used what King root, not kingo. Though they both seem to be at least somewhat sketchy, with king root being the sketchier of the two from what I see. I didn't realize there was another "root all" sort of app.

    Discussion what are the best android phone/tablet that root friendly?

    I've got the Note 4 for my main phone and spec-wise it's still pretty good for being a few years old. Screen is Quad HD AMOLED so it's still a relatively nice phone. They run about $170-$190 on eBay for a refurb last time I checked. Mine was really easy to root (T-mobile variant). Also has...

    Question Value of Current PC/Parts

    I mean, if you want to possibly deal with weirdos and/or cheapskates that will try to talk you down to $300 for the entire build, you could try selling on craigslist. I mean there's also gonna be people who know nothing about PCs and use iBuyPower prices as a benchmark of what a gaming PC costs...
