First of all, I have an Acer Aspire v 17 Nitro laptop.

Intel i7-4720 2.6 ghz

GTX 960M 4GB

16 GB RAM

I can run most games fairly well but I think it needs a boost in the gpu. I have a AMD R9 280x from my brothers computer that I want to hook up externally. My question- is it possible to use both of them at the same time? Or would it be better to just use the r9 280x alone? Either way, what are the steps I would need to take to accomplish this?

I'm on a windows 8.1 laptop and I want to upgrade to windows 10 but every time i hit "Upgrade Now" it goes right to "Something went wrong. Please try again later."

My laptop is fully updated and I have windows update enabled. Any help is appreciated.

Well i'll start by saying i'm not a big reader. In fact, I rarely read. However, after reading "The Martian," I now need a new book.

It has to be thrilling and able to keep me interested. I am looking into horror/thriller books but I'm not sure where to start.

Stephen King seems like an obvious choice for horror but I just don't know if a 1000 page book can keep me interested.

Any recommendations? It doesn't have to be horror, it just needs to make me want to read the whole thing in one night.

I have a laptop but i'm not sure if it will be able to run it...here are the specs.

CPU- Intel i7 mobile 4720hq 2.6 ghz

GPU- Nvidia Geforce GTX 960M 4GB

RAM- 16GB

I have enough space for it so that isn't a problem.

Title says it all. I believe if healthy, the NY Jets have the best defense although I may be slightly biased haha.

Anyway I was just curious what others thought.

Well i've had this computer for awhile now (a year and a half) and all of a sudden I've been getting random fps drops. I downloaded the program "SpeedFan" to see my temps. The temp sensor says it's about 70C while i'm playing a game. and the core temp is around 60C. My question is if this is too high for my cpu and if it is what I should do. Thanks.

Specs-

CPU- AMD FX-9590 4.7ghz

GPU- AMD Radeon r9 280x 3GB HIS ICQ Edition

RAM- 8GB

HDD- 1TB West Digital Black

SSD- 250GB

I also have a Asetek 570LX 240MM Coolant

I just got my samsung ssd 250GB and I attached it and all. However, I am confused about how to transfer my OS (windows 7) to the ssd.

I have a 1TB hdd so transferring everything is impossible which is why I just want to transfer the OS. But how would I do that without erasing it?

Well i'm looking to get a new gaming pc soon and im down to 2 choices.

First one is a Cyberpower PC for $1,120

Specs-

CPU- AMD FX-9370 4.40 GHz (4.7 GHz Turbo) Eight-Core AM3+ CPU 8MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology

GPU-AMD Radeon R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card (HIS IceQ X2 Edition w/ Double Fans)

Memory- 8GB

HDD- 2TB

The second one is a more expensive Alienware for $1,300

CPU-4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4790 Processor (8MB Cache, up to 4.0GHz)

GPU-NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 760 Ti with 2GB GDDR5

Memory- 16GB

HDD- 1TB

I'm not too good with computers so which one is better for the price? Is it worth it to pay more for the Alienware? And if both computers are bad, can I get a link to a better one?

Thanks.

Ok so after watching a few videos of RC planes with an on board camera, I want to give it a shot. Im still sort of new with this hobby but I can still manage. Now the questions.

How big does the plane have to be to carry a camera? How do you set it up? What kind of camera works best?

If possible can you post a link to a RC plane that would work best? The lower price the better.

Thanks.

Ok well im hosting a server for my friends using hamachi. But i have to leave my computer on all the time for it to be running. Is there a way to host a server and be able to leave it up without leaving my computer on and without paying any money?

ok well this is a little weird.

I cant connect to some websites like rockstargames.com, dell.com, or alienware.com

those are just the ones i found

but the weird thing is, i cant connect to any of these sites on any computer in my house. and every other site is fine. Any help?
