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.
I have this type of UPS but how the heck can I tell if it is offline or online UPS?

Does APC even make an online model I wonder.
I only stated the higher price because I am concerned about the unreliable electricity where I am at. I cannot afford to get a cheap unreliable PSU considering my situation.
Anyway, I know Seasonic is a good brand.

Here is the current system for now because I am waiting for IVY-E to come out before I decide on a new CPU and motherboard.

Good point. A valid reason to be nervous about buying Haswell at the moment.
You say August for the C2 stepping and guess what? IVy-E should be right around the corner in September.
Better for one to wait at least until October or so to decide what to buy.
