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.
Gonna buy in an hour or 2. Any final suggestions?

I did my first build like 4 years ago, most is common sense on the building part of a pc. Only thing you really need advice on is what to buy for your needs as prices are always competitive and brand new technologies are coming out. Second thing I really needed was to know how to apply Arctic...
Hmm, I see a lot of people supporting ATI these days. Should I get a cross fire-able motherboard and just upgrade to some cheap ATIs in a year? I assume they will support a single Nvidia card.
Suggestions?
Than I would know as the OP to take out the bad advice in the post cause I read my entire thread :<. Anyways, was just trying to encourage him to save himself some money and build it himself cause not only don't you have to pay someone else, I find it pretty fun to install your goodies into your...
So filled with rage bro. Chill...

Searched this and got no results that matched anything similar.
Most of us know from school or work know how businesses, rather government or not, don't like us touching their computers. They don't want us installing all of that "suspicious software". So I am wondering if there is any way to...
Thanks, but I am only being rude because you are ignoring the point of this topic. I am not asking how to get the most out of my current PC because I have the money from my job to upgrade.
I will do mostly gaming, however, I will also probably start learning to do 3d which I know more power...
