Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Just the M.2 PCIe 1x card that came with the motherboard, wondering if it's worth putting money into a M.2 SSD to have the OS installed on.

So, I've received the chip, motherboard, ram and video card. I have yet to pick up an SSD. Any opinion on the M.2 card i've received with the mobo? Would it be worth putting some money into a 256 M.2 ssd and install the OS on that?
OK so the SSC seems like the best option for price/performance.
All that's left is ram now.

Any problems with that?
I think Canada Computers has made an error on their site as well, same model number, but Newegg is advertising a 1342 boost clock and CC is advertising a 1317 boost clock...

Am I missing something?

I know i'm going with EVGA for the gtx 970, just not sure about the options I'm being...
I've got the TV hooked up right now with an HDMI cable going into a displayport cable which plugs into the videocard, should that be good enough to run the TV with the new hardware?
The tx750m has three years on it as I put it in the current rig when I built it, and I must say it's shown some awesome performance.
I'm getting butterflies looking at that mobo... the 6600k I like as well... room for OC and a second gtx 970...
Time to start pricing...
The warranty was up on the gigabyte board when I started noticing issues.
I would like a nice long warranty on the new board I get, but like I said from the first, I wouldn't mind paying a little bit more for a better part.
I would like to stay away from using on-board gfx, seems tacky to me...
