    After an overnight Comcast outage, the WIFI function of the router is no longer working. I can still use the Ethernet connection from the router, but not the WIFI. I don't think that there was an electrical surge.. Is it possible that the WIFI function of a router was damaged due to the ISP...

    Is the RAM being used?

    Suspect PCpartpicker pitched a much bigger PCU than I need

    Hmm, Might still go with the modular Corsair. I've been using an offbrand Chinese PSU (312W) and it's still going strong... Thanks for the input. Have an off question, Can a CPU heat-sink that is way too powerful cause damage to the computer? Was reading about this in a...

    Suspect PCpartpicker pitched a much bigger PCU than I need

    Right on! Makes Sense, Will cancel the Video Card and get one later if I even need one at all. I was a little skeptical because in the past when I've built a system and when OS loads for the first time without Video Card Drivers (i.e., without Video Card function), it's super slow to even...

    Suspect PCpartpicker pitched a much bigger PCU than I need

    Hi Dangman, thanks for all of your advice. Yes, the Samsung SSD is a better buy, will go with that. I already have a 3T hard-drive, I am just going to use the Solid State to install the OS and programfiles. About the EVGA Video card, I simply need a 2GB video card with a Dual-monitor...
