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.

Really wanted to build now. But those are good points. I had no idea they were coming out with new cards. Guess I can wait before I spend all that money.- helluvagood

$2500 CAD 1440p Black/White/Purple?! theme build
Hey guys, Excited to do my second PC build. Had lots of help with my first one on here over 5 years ago! This one will be more for the aesthetics, willing to pay the premium. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc 1440p gaming - latest AAA titles. 2)...- helluvagood

Gaming build $1500 CAD!
I checked the side of the motherboard box and it says 16 gb, weird. Your link might be an american version. This RAM should be compatible right? http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX51487 For the PSU, I'm limited in choices (buying at memoryexpress.com) They dont have any evga 550w PSUs...- helluvagood

Gaming build $1500 CAD!
Just checked, mobo supports 16 gb max, so 4x4GB it is. Good points about the psu, investing ~100-120$ for a newer psu seems worth it. Any of the EVGA 80+ gold PSUs area solid buy right ex http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438026&cm_re=evga_650_w-_-17-438-026-_-Product- helluvagood

Gaming build $1500 CAD!
Why 2x8GB? It'll cost about $40 more for it to get the same amount of RAM. What's wrong with the PSU?- helluvagood

Gaming build $1500 CAD!
I dont really have a preference b/t nvidia and amd, but the benchmarks I've looked at say the r9 is ~5fps better in fallout4, witcher, etc. Prices about the same too, but i'm open to both. What do you mean by catastrophe ones? The prices from pcpart picker use CAD (I switched it)- helluvagood

Gaming build $1500 CAD!
edit: just upgrading gpu now. pls disregard Very preliminary build: For 1440p gaming does the r9 390 beat it slightly? I could probably find a cheaper PSU. would 650w be enough for now? PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core...- helluvagood

Gaming build $1500 CAD!
EDIT: Talked to a friend, and instead of doing a new build, upgrading my existing GPU and RAM may be a better way to go for 1440p gaming. What do you think?? With ~$1000 CAD I'm looking to upgrade to a EVGA 980 Ti Is this a good idea? 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming...- helluvagood
