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 built a new PC and I went with the cheapest ram possible ($50, 4GB) just to get it running while I shop around for ram. Is 2133 really that bad for gaming? I'm thinking of just getting three more sticks of 2133.
This mobo is installed in a Fractal Define r4 case with h100i water cooler.
I was afraid it wouldn't fit but there's plenty of room. I'm just waiting for my ram to arrive so I can fire it up.
I'm going to be using a gt630 for a temporary video card.
I just ordered one stick of 2133 (4gb) just to get my PC working while I wait.
Which will have my PC running 12gb single channel with 8gb 2400 and 4gb 2133.
Performance-wise, would I be better off canceling the 8gb 2400 and just getting another 4gb 2133 to run dual channel?
Eventually...
I've been waiting a few weeks and I still haven't gotten my memory. I have my system built and ready to go, but no ram to get things running.
I'm tempted to go down a step and get the value tier ram since it's available immediately. How much does "gaming" ram really matter? The Ballistix line...
Very good suggestions on this thread, thanks! I decided to go with the Asus fanless 2GB GT 630 for $55. Should hold me over until the 8/9XX series cards come out :)
Thanks! After your suggestions I came across this on eBay. I can't seem to find any reviews of it. What do you think?

I'm building a new rig and almost have it useable. My situation is that I was planning to use on board graphics until the Oculus Rift comes out, then buy a good card at a decent price. Most likely the 880. The problem is that the i7 5820K doesn't have on-board graphics. So I need a temporary...
Thanks everyone. Looks like cygnus's deal is the best in town. Seeing how many people seems to trust him and have a working copy, I decided to go for it. It's half the price (after taxes) and pro version. Can't go wrong... I hope.
