    Suggestions for Case

    I absolutely love the Fractual Design R4. It is roomy, it is very quiet and it just looks great. The build quality is spectacular for $100.00.

    Just ordered my new fx-8350, HD 7950 workstation / gaming rig.

    I just got that case and it is fantastic. You'll love it. Have fun with the new PC!

    New Build....

    Re-loaded the drivers again and the problem seems to be gone. I cannot believe how much faster and quieter this machine is than my old rig. :)

    New Build....

    Thanks. The only problem I've had so far is sometimes when I boot up I don't get an internet connection. I reboot and then it connects. I re-installed the adapter drivers but the situation persists. I looked at the Intel Gigabit connection manager but I'll be damned if I know what it all means...

    New Build....

    Well folks, the thing is built and up and running. Many thank to those who were kind enough to offer advice - all of it was spot on and a huge help. The SSD-HDD deal was easy as pie. I just have to remember to install software to the proper location. Easily the most problem free build I have...

    New build advice needed for a quiet pc

    If I didn't have to work tomorrow, I'd be building it right now. :) The box is a lot bigger than I thought it would be (honestly, the size of the box for the CPU cooler is absolutely ridiculous - it is huge!) Will let you know as soon as I get 'er done.

    New build advice needed for a quiet pc

    Not sure if it is my place to chime in, but I'm building a new system with this a Fractual "silent" case. UPS just delivered it about an hour ago as a matter of fact. Bought it because it looks awesome and is supposed to be quiet. I'll let you know what I see/ hear when I get it put together...

    Yes, you are correct. The SSD is the boot drive. First time I have ever set a PC up like this. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this. My PC knowledge is strictly pedestrian. I know some "whats" but almost nothing of "why." Have already started looking into your suggestions above. Wish...

    New Build....

    Well, finally got up the nerve and pulled the trigger on this. Made a couple of changes. 1. Switched out the Crucial M4 SSD for a Samsung 830 128 GB SSD. Saved $25.00 due to a sale price. 2. Switched out the Seagate HDD for a WD Black - same specs. Reviews seem to indicate the WD is slightly...

    New Build....

    Thanks. Your (and the others who contributed) help is appreciated. Just seems like so much money. Worth it I guess. The PC is pretty much the prime entertainment device in the house. Might as well have a good one.

    Did some reading and I'm going with the MSI board instead. The RAM recommendation based on known quality issues? Howzabout these: G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C10D-16GAO
