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.
Burners are SATA. If an additional 100 - 200 could be allocated, is there anything you would adjust? Upgrade the SSD to 256GB or 840 Pro? Heatsink? Step up from the WD Blue?
Excellent! I know that I didn't mention it, but I've got a handful of DVD burners laying around so I can scratch the included one. Also, current system is in an Antec P182. Is the P182 still a viable case? I may swap the stuff...
[Strike=1]If there is an outstanding deal on a larger screen, I'll bite. Would love for a quality screen bigger than 24" but I am dreaming for it under the $200 price tag.[/s]
I'll skip it for now :)
Main use of the PC is web surfing. As that is the only thing that has any frequency. If I work on a project, I'll be doing video editing for a few weeks but won't pick it up again for months. Same applies to gaming or anything else that comes up.
PC is capable for the other stuff but gaming...
Infrequent is a better term. Last game I played was Skyrim. My 8800GTS could touch that game on low. Planning on playing Bioshock Infinite,Metro, AC3, Dishonored, and BF4. If actual free time allows, I'll be lucky to get to one of those :)
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Infrequent photoshop, infrequent video editing, infrequent virtualization of systems, occasional gaming, frequent web browsing
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
