If that sounds too restrictive, then there’s also this Asus Prime Z390-P motherboard on offer, which can be snapped up for £107. So far, so ordinary, except that CCL are also throwing in a free 240GB SSD with it. The specific model is the Adata Ultimate SU630, if you want to know the nitty-gritty. Oddly, while it says the free SSD comes with “qualifying Asus Intel motherboards”, as far as I can see this is the only one to qualify. Still, a quick scout around other websites will see you pay at least another tenner for this particular motherboard, so this is both a great price for the motherboard and extra good value with the free SSD. … [Read more...] about Buy a Z390 motherboard and get £50 cashback or a free SSD

"I am a Na’vi, I’m a blue thing in it – which I didn’t quite understand when I went to meet [Cameron]. I was quite surprised when I got offered that. I’m fascinated to see how I’m going to look, because they sort of make them look a bit like oneself. It’s fantastic!" … [Read more...] about David Thewlis on playing a Na’vi in Avatar 2: “I’m fascinated to see how I’m going to look”

"I lived the video game curse, because I made Doom," Johnson said, laughing. "And Doom was a movie based off a very popular video game and was incredibly unsuccessful. So I lived the curse, and I experienced it." Forearmed with that knowledge (also huge, muscular forearms, but that's beside the point), Johnson's first step in warding off the curse was unsurprising: make sure everything's "buttoned up" on the monster movie side with a good script and earth-shaking giant creatures designed by Weta. … [Read more...] about “I lived the video game curse” – The Rock talks Doom and making sure Rampage doesn’t suck

WD Blue SATA 250GB SSD – $50 from Best Buy ($10 off) WD Blue SATA 500GB SSD – $65 from Best Buy ($35 off) WD Blue SATA 1TB SSD – $110 from Best Buy ($80 off) Of course, it’s worth noting that if your motherboard has an M.2 slot, then you’re probably better off getting an NVMe SSD, such as WD’s exceptional Blue SN550, instead of a SATA one. They’re a little more expensive, but they offer a substantial speed boost – albeit, nowhere near as much of an improvement as the step up from HDD to SSD. Fortunately, WD makes one of the best cheap NVMe drives around, which is why their Blue SN550 drive is currently our best SSD for gaming champion. For reference, you can currently buy the same capacity drives in NVMe format for $55, $70 and $120 respectively, which in our eyes is well worth the extra expense over the SATA deals listed above. … [Read more...] about Save up to $80 on a WD Blue SSD at Best Buy

Of course, most of the monitor deals above are for screens with AMD FreeSync support rather than Nvidia’s G-Sync tech, so if you’re unsure what either of those things mean or just need a refresher on what they do, have a read of our G-Sync vs FreeSync article. Previously, you needed an AMD graphics card to take advantage of FreeSync, and an Nvidia graphics card to make full use of G-Sync. However, thanks to Nvidia’s recent driver update, all Nvidia graphics card owners can now take advantage of what FreeSync has to offer so they can carry on enjoying smooth, tear-free gaming for a fraction of the price. As a result, buying a good FreeSync monitor is now a much better way of saving money than finding a good G-Sync deal. … [Read more...] about Gaming monitor deals of the week – 29th May 2020
