If you want the latest and greatest Nokia-built Windows Phone phone, and you’re an AT&T customer, the Lumia 1520 is a beast of a smartphone, but it’s not available to Verizon customers. Instead, Verizon offers the newer, and arguably more refined, Nokia Lumia Icon, which has nearly all of the same internal specifications as the 1520, but with a few... [PCSTATS]

Cooler Master Elite 110 Mini-ITX Computer Case Review
Thanks to the extra clearance the Vengeance LP memory kits offer, we are able to mount even bigger CPU heatsinks or accommodate them inside cases with cramped space. The modules have different colors depending on their technical specifications and as far as we have seen the stock speed can be raised a bit more in order to benefit from more bandwidt... [PCSTATS]

It's spring cleaning time again
Other than some ing issues and having to work with the power supply outside the case we really liked the Elite 130. It is one of the smallest cases on the market with room to support a mid-range gaming system and still only take up a square foot on your desktop. Also, at just $50 the Elite 110 is a real bargain.

XFX TYPE01 Bravo Midi-Tower Gaming Chassis Review

We'll be giving away over $1500 in PC hardware. For a chance to win, you'll need to find a PC in desperate need of spring cleaning. The... [PCSTATS]

Cooler Master QuickFire Rapid-i keyboard
XFX enters the chassis market with the Type01 Bravo, a mid-tower case priced at $129.99 USD.

Hit our review to see if there's more in store for the Type01 under the hood.... [PCSTATS]

HIS Radeon R7 250 iCooler Boost Clock 1GB GDDR5 Graphics Card Review
With the adaptation of Intel CPU's the inside of a Mac started to look a lot like a normal PC; same CPU's, same chipsets, same GPU's etc. The change made it possible for users to install Windows on Apple computers through the so-called Bootcamp method. Some users however were interested in doing the opposite, and in theory with support for Intel's ... [PCSTATS]

AMD XFX Radeon R7 250 Core Edition Passive 1GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
When it comes to gaming on a strict budget there are a tonne of choices: AMD’s R7 240, R7 250 and R7 250X all fall beneath the $100 price point while Nvidia’s GT 630 and GT 640 graphics cards also fall beneath the $100 level. If discrete graphics cards aren’t your thing then you can also get AMD’s A10-7850K APU which effectively has R7 250 level gr... [PCSTATS]

While the low-end graphics card market is fairly monotonous, passive graphics cards always make for interesting system builds and the XFX R7 250 we have here today this is certainly no exception. The R7 250 from AMD offers a surprisingly punchy amount of performance for quite a modest price of just $90 and with low power consumption. XFX’s take on ... [PCSTATS]

Matrox Mura™ MPX Series
Seasonic is continually short on marketing but long on performance, and we are good with that. Today's 450 watt G Series computer power supply makes more sense in this new world of lower power desktop CPUs and GPUs. Does the G-450 gives its users solid power in this lower end of the spectrum range at the right cost?

AMD Athlon 5350 Kabini AM1 APU Review

Crucial M550 256GB SSD Review
The AMD HD 7950 was probably the best GPU of the entire HD 7000 series in my honest opinion. It offered stellar value for money for high performance gaming – often overclocking to HD 7970 levels for a much lower price. The HD 7950's popularity then got the better of it as the card soared to mining fame being the GPU of choice for miners all over th... [PCSTATS]

ECS announces the whole new AMD FM2+ Platform motherboards
As a species, we've come a long way from the days of carving notes into stone. While our ancestors used chisel and rock, we now use keyboards to hammer out our thoughts and anything that needs to be documented. Some of us spend hours a day sitting in front of a PC, a large portion of which is dedicated to punching keystrokes at a frenzied pace. The... [PCSTATS]

AMD AM1 Platform with Athlon 5350 and MSI AM1i Motherboard
The AMD Radeon R9 295X2 graphics card is finally upon us. I know a lot of people have been eagerly awaiting this graphics card for the last few months – I myself I have been tracking its existence since AMD phased out the HD 7990 – it was inevitable there would be a replacement. Yet when we first got our hands on the R9 290X I wasn’t so sure how fe... [PCSTATS]
