    Computer keeps crashing

    Friend just finished swapping my card in his machine and hooking everything up and it's running perfect right now. Hooked up the exact same way it was in my machine so that rules the 780 and x40 out.

    Computer keeps crashing

    Silky, we hooked everything up the way the instructions said to. We made sure to piece it together and see how everything went before we actually assembled them. We actually installed the x40 on an EVGA 780 Ti. It's still all hooked up so he's going to pull his video card from his PC now and...

    Computer keeps crashing

    So the other day my friend and I swapped my parts into a new tower and installed a Kraken x60 (cpu), x40 (gpu), and an i7-4820k on an ASUS Sabertooth x79. We got everything swapped over and now it continues to crash about 2 minutes after booting. It will only boot into safe mode then crashes...

    Taking the plunge, hard.

    I don't know if this is the same way Apple ships laptops but they allow FedEx to ship their iPhones and iPads in containers that are unable to keep the freight held in properly. The containers are not shut the right way then after being unloaded off the trucks and moved towards the inputs they...

    Photo editing build advice

    Thanks tiraides! And you're sure that him not having a video card right away will still allow him to do all his photo editing with Photoshop and Lightroom? I agree with both of y'all on the SSD but with his budget it's not possible right now.

    Photo editing build advice

    I guess that read wrong... The Contour+2 he bought that was $200 was money he could have spent on the computer, he's left with $600. Sorry for the confusion on that.

    Photo editing build advice

    Tiraides, wouldn't it be $500 total since he has to buy an OS or did the price of that go up like it was ammo since the last time I looked?

    Photo editing build advice

    His work PC stays at work and he can't take it with him so he doesn't want to do anything to it. He was thinking maybe build something similar to his work PC that he could later add to when he has more money but I don't think that would be the best idea personally.

    Photo editing build advice

    Danny, unfortunately the OS will be part of the budget. Tiraides, he doesn't remember what version it was he had since his computer was too slow to run it. He figures he'll just get the newest one when he can. He just bought a Contour+2 so he cut into his budget by $200 with that...

    Post your "rate my cables" here

    Tell me how y'all think I did for my first go at this whole cable management thing. The 1 wire hanging down not hooked up is for the side panel fan.

    Guess I'll just go with the cheaper one! Alright! Now to just get all the finances in order before I start throwing more stuff on the credit card... Expensive summer for me so far since I've bought other toys as well. Thanks for the help bud!

    Input needed for build...

    Ok, can do. Wow, it's orange... That's wonky looking! Crucial M4 128GB Samsung 128GB 830 Series I don't really know which one to pick because they are only a $10 difference... Is there anything else you can think of I might need to swap?

    Input needed for build...

    I got lucky and found my grandmothers address on a piece of paper I had saved from when we had my daughters baby shower so I just had it shipped there. Saved me $10! Now to just remember to call and let her know it's coming to her house. Ahh, ok. That's the exact reason I figured I should ask...

    Input needed for build...

    Danny, Anything from Newegg I'm going to have to pay tax on right now since I don't know my grandmothers address right off the top of my head and I can't get in touch with parents until tomorrow to find out what it is. With tax included, that would put the PSU at $131, is that still the best...
