when you say pirate windows 10 did you use a loader or somn?

you know you coulda just upgrade to 10 from a crack copy of windows 7 or windows 8 and it would've activated

as for the 480 i might end up getting one myself but im waiting for other manufacturers to slap on a better cooler

Ronaldo95163 · Postby **Ronaldo95163** » July 9th, 2016, 9:24 pm

Yes I can update it through W7 but I would still have to activate it with a key.

LOL you can update pirate windows 7 to 10 and get a legit windows 10.

ahhaha Microsoft does not care all they want is everybody on windows 10 so they can make money advertising a bunch of sheit and windows 10 is also their last windows hence why pirates also getting a free upgrade aswell.

You can also buy your windows 8 CD key for like $20 on G2A.com website. Bought lots of keys there already everything worked.

I downloaded Killer Instinct for Windows 10 its an Amazing port aswell as Forza 6. Its just that windows 10 gaming stinks, nothing beats Steam.

is the dvd an original?? if not then,

once you have a valid cd key, use it to download the original iso from microsoft and use the tool to create a bootable usb

if not then use this tool to create a bootable usb..

https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/softwar ... /windows10

enter your valid windows 7 cd key here and get your iso

https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/softwar ... d/windows7

after installing windows7, visit the first page and upgrade to windows 10

looking for a keyboard with illuminating blue keys, my last keyboard was the roccat isku so not sure if to bu the latest isku or get another

fouljuice · Postby **fouljuice** » July 13th, 2016, 12:36 am

I have a Isku FX a few years now but I feel my next keyboard might be a Corsair k65 or strafe.

If you don't want mechanical or different colors, it have plenty cheaper ones on amazon for $40usd or less

the mouse itself is nice and sleek and doesn't feel like cheap garbage

News: for whoever bought gtx970's, nvidia settled a vram class action lawsuit. Each purchase entitled to a $30 rebate. The form to claim it have not been released yet. So stay tuned.

i am going to build a mid level gaming rig. I came accross one already built on amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HNBLHAA/re ... 9XA7&psc=1
Is the parts available for this build in Trinidad and does it make sense trying to build this? Also, what is a guesstimate for shipping since i have never shipped anything this large or heavy?

HSA · Postby **HSA** » August 5th, 2016, 8:09 am

I was looking at this unit from Logitech....

http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/produc ... g-keyboard

talk to me....yay....or nay....and reasons for saying so....

fouljuice · Postby **fouljuice** » August 5th, 2016, 6:35 pm

Any specific features you looking for?

Things I care for in a keyboard to run game: Per-key illumination, backlit separate media controls, and at least 5 macros keys.
If you need the Arx control, and Mechanical, then go ahead.

I never used Romer-G ones, but read mixed reviews, but as with all mechanical switches, it comes down to your preference.
