Finally the launch of Ryzen is here, and only last week AMD released Ryzen 7 for Desktops. AMD have launched 3 processors for the […]

Review: ViewSonic VX27776 Monitor
When putting together your new PC, a monitor is the foundation for your interface. A bad monitor can ruin a nice build and it’s an important part not to skimp on.

The Architecture was simply finished, delaying the launch further because of the issue […]
