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.

So that's 2 votes for the 5770, I'll go with the card I linked in...
Gotcha, that makes sense. I'm in NC, so neither of those stores are close. I'm still price hunting, so I'll check out their online stores. I chose the i5 because I haven't seen any i7s at a price I want to pay yet.
Yeah, it might be, but I've looked at some mid towers, and I like the extra...
My goal with this PC is to make it moderately fast now, with an eye toward upgrading it in the future as better components drop in price. I went ahead and answered the questions from the stickied thread, so let me know what you think. Thanks.
