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.
Yes, I am kind of going out on a limb with that case as my prior builds have used antec. I currently use an antec ninehundred v1 and have really come to dislike it. So I was looking for something with a hotswap option, fan control and very quiet without all the flashy lights and such. I read up...
Alright, so my final build would end up being
Seasonic M12D 850W EPS12V 20/24PIN ATX Modular Power Supply $120
NZXT H2 ATX Mid Tower Steel Case Black $95
G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL 8GB 2X4GB $88
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) P67 ATX LGA1155 $177
Intel Core i5 2500K $210
Comes out to about $700cdn
gotcha. I suppose it did come out in 2008. Oddly enough when I add that to my cart it also gives me a discount on that case which was at random. I did find the xfx black 750 in canada though at another retailer, but going with the 850w is probably a safe idea for about the same price.
Yah, after reading that it is probably best to go with the CL9. Likely the "G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1333 CL9-9-9-24". If I wont notice the performance it is no big deal, and it brings in the total a little bit lower aswell.
Out of curiousity though, any other 750w...
Thanks. I didnt even notice that the ram wouldnt work as I was originally looking at the asus mobo, and would have ordered it without knowing. The modular powersupply though would be ncie aswell for the cable management so I will look into that aswell.
I am currently looking to move from my core 2 quad (9300) to a new sandy bridge build.
I have come up with some parts that I think would be a good fit to this build if anyone has some thoughts on this. I will use it for general computing, gaming, photoshop, design, cad etc.
From my current...
