Do you need a 1,000W power supply? Probably not—most systems won’t come close to drawing the kind of power a 1,000W PSU can deliver (there are exceptions, of course). But if you want one, now is your chance to grab a 1,000W model at a nice discount. That’s not bad for a brand name 1,000W PSU. As for connectors, you get a 20+4 pin motherboard cable, two 4+4 pin CPU power cables, eight 6+2 pin PCIe connectors, 12 4-pin peripheral connectors, 11 SATA connectors, and a floppy power adapter cable.

NZXT’s S340 mid-tower chassis remains our top pick in the budget category when shopping cases, and it’s currently on sale at Newegg for $75. There is also a $15 mail-in-rebate available, bringing the price down to $60. The rebate is available on both the black/blue and black/red models, along with the Razer Edition, though the rebate brings the price down to $70 on that one. For cooling, the case comes with a couple of 120mm fans, one up top and one in the back. The one in the front can be swapp

It’s not everyday you find a game billed as “chamomile for the soul,” which is exactly what three-woman Italian developer CoseBelle wants to create with Selling Sunlight, an upcoming narrative-driven RPG starring a faceless wandering merchant. It’s an interesting dichotomy and complements the conversation system which promotes role-playing, which you can sample in the free demo available via itch.io. “There’s a shy, troubled clothier living in Green Hamlet,” CoseBelle says of the conversation sy

As part of the PC Gamer Club’s many bonuses, we occasionally give out beta keys or run surprise giveaways.

WD claims it is position to deliver a 40TB capacity HDD by 2025 using microwave-assisted magnetic recording (MAMR). “Our ground-breaking advancement in MAMR technology will enable Western Digital to address the future of high capacity storage by redefining the density potential of HDDs and introduce a new class of highly reliable, ‘ultra-high capacity’ drives,” said Mike Cordano, president and chief operating officer at Western Digital. Using this technology, WD says it can record over 4 terabit

The makers of chat-and-other-stuff software Discord announced a new feature today called Verified Servers, which as the name suggests gives developers and publishers their very own official Discord servers. Developers and publishers with verified servers will have access to “perks” including a vanity URL, a customizable splash page, and a “verified” badge next to their server name, much like the blue checkmark on Twitter. One other restriction is probably the most immediately relevant one of all

NZXT has updated its CAM program—one of our favorite system monitoring utilities—with a face lift and some tweaks underneath the hood to make it run leaner “so you can get the best gaming experience.” “We always think of CAM as work in progress, looking for new ways to improve your ability to control and optimize your PC. Beyond making the UI easier to navigate, NZXT claims that in most situations, CAM 3.5 barely touches the CPU, keeping usage under 1 percent and consuming just 120MB of RAM. NZX

John Carmack took the stage today at Oculus Connect to talk about how developers are not doing a good job with developing for VR. Carmack told the audience of developers that the content industry is generally lazy, waiting for powerful hardware. To push virtual reality into the mainstream, and then have the high-end put more resources to the platform, Carmack indicated that the industry needs to focus more on mainstream hardware, specifically mobile. This strategy, said Carmack, allows the entir

That’s incredible considering the Nighthold is still a very active and challenging raid for many players. Despite taking most raid parties over 10 minutes to beat, the fight with Gul’dan took Mionee over an hour to complete. Enrage timers are a system most raid bosses use to enforce a time limit on the fight. During phases two and three of the fight, Gul’dan summons eyes that attack the party. But the big question remains, with Gul’dan defeated, will Mionee attempt to kill the current raid boss,

But lest there be any doubt, Carmack made an interesting comment at Oculus Connect today, saying he’s better at optimizing code than dedicated graphics card driver teams. According to Carmack, GPU driver teams often make mistakes in driver development that ultimately break optimizations. “They often make mistakes,” he said, referring to driver updates that can break things in games. However, it caught our attention, especially given the challenges that driver teams at AMD and Nvidia have faced a

Thankfully, the Knockout Framework mod is here to sing Fallout 4’s NPCs a violent yet soothing lullaby. Enjoyably, kidnapping an unconscious NPC places an enormous duffel bag on your character’s back:”Nothing to see here. The mod’s author, Seb263, also has a companion mod, Non-Lethal Armory, that changes the behavior of a number of weapons. It’s not required to make Knockout Framework function, but it’ll give you more options for beating NPCs unconscious. The mod makes weapons like the tire iron

One week after its debut on PC and Xbox One, Forza Motorsport 7 continues to leave me baffled when it comes to performance. Performance in Forza Motorsport 7 fluctuates wildly when you’re racing, dropping from framerates of nearly 200 fps into the sub-60 fps range. There’s a separate issue that’s impeded my testing as well, because Forza Motorsport 7 is the worst offender I’ve encountered so far. Unfortunately, Forza Motorsport 7 tips that scales at 102.8GB. An option to have the Windows Store c

Today, something a bit different is coming to Digital Extremes’ multiplayer action romp, Warframe. The Plains of Eidolon expansion is, for the first time, introducing an open-world area, the titular plains. It’s about nine square kilometers in size, and is full of secret caves, enemy camps and new missions. During the day there are threats, certainly, but night is when the massive Eidolon appears. The Plains of Eidolon launches today on Steam, and it’s free.

Grim Dawn’s Ashes of Malmouth expansion launched yesterday, introducing new classes like the Necromancer and the Inquisitor, and continuing the action-RPG’s gloomy story with two new chapters. Speaking of loot, expect to discover hundreds of new items as you fight your way towards the titular fallen city of Malmouth. But first you’ll need to slaughter your way past hordes of enemies hiding in the Gloomwald forest and the swampy Ugdenbog. Ashes of Malmouth is out now on Steam and the Humble Store

Monetisation services company Digital River recently published a report titled ‘Defend Your Kingdom: What Game Publishers Need to Know About Monetization & Fraud’ which found that even premium games—as in not free-to-play—benefited significantly from DLC and microtransactions. “In 2016, a quarter of all digital revenue from PC games with an upfront cost came from additional content,” the report reads. Though it also notes that consumers now expect more for less, and the model has been a reaction

Overgrowth, a game about murderous kung-fu bunnies, has been in development for eight years. At the tail end of 2008, it appeared on Steam and people could start pre-ordering it. It will leave Early Access next Monday, October 16. The final beta update went live last week, introducing a story mode, more animal diversity and the ability to be impaled on spikes. Overgrowth is currently £22.99/$29.99 on Steam and the Humble Store.

Buying my home was one of the most stressful moments in my life, but in comparison to Final Fantasy 14’s prospective homeowners, I had it easy. There’s a real estate crisis in Eorzea, with too few homes to keep up with demand. And after the 4.1 update, The Legend Returns, things don’t seem to have improved. Until 4.1, servers contained three housing areas with just over 2,000 plots available. And despite the low number of homes, guilds and players can snatch up multiple plots.

Being quiet seems to be one of the most important skills for competitive demon hunters in Hunt: Showdown. Gunshots and explosions can alert other players to your position, and demons too. In a new video with developer commentary, the duo of hunters forget this and that’s why they don’t escape with their trophy. IGN’s video offers up a decent slice of the game, showcasing everything from mystically tracking demons to shootouts with others players. See, in Hunt: Showdown, players must find demons,

Because in the Fade—the realm of spirits and demons that parallels Thedas in the Dragon Age series—these inanimate objects would speak. Cole is one of the potential companions for your Inquisitor in Dragon Age: Inquisition. While Dragon Age 2 gave us an example of a spirit’s existence with Justice and his possession of the mage Anders, Cole is a fully independent spirit. As with all Dragon Age companions, Cole exists as an entry point for the us to understand some critical aspect of the world of

Aside from buying apartments or cars, there are now many ways to do this—the most appealing (and cheapest) of which is running your own biker gang. I christen this new gang ‘Biker Grove’. Here’s my dilemma: I don’t want to just invite anyone into my biker gang, and the PC Gamer boys are all offline. So I’m a one-man biker gang—which isn’t really a gang at all. The point of a biker gang is you’re supposed to ride in formation with buddies.
