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'm only willing to go $100 or less for my case, considering the budget I'm presently working with, but this design from Thermaltake seems to be an optimal compromise between style and quality. Plus, the exterior looks like...
Would it be a significant downgrade to also go wirth tony's mobo?

The only issue I'm seeing with this particular mobo is the reviews: some are claiming that it burns out on them fast and is somewhat unreliable. What are your thoughts on that point?
Also, would it be OK to not swap out the...
I've swapped that out for the TX650. Any other suggestions?
Also:

Would it be worth a 1 hour and 45 minute drive for that deal? It would cut down...

Incidentally, I live almost two hours away from my state's Micro Center...negating, essentially, the discounts on...
I'm not necessarily looking to "max out anything". As I specified, I'm more or less a mid-range gamer - I'm not going to be playing Crysis 2 or Battlefield 3. More likely than not, the most demanding game I'll play is Skyrim when it is released.
With the current components, I'm already at...
Well, I've been to several forums, and every forum has suggested a complete overhaul of the builds that were suggested to me by the last. Therefore, I've reached the point where I'd rather refine what I've got rather than have to start from the very beginning once more...but, considering the...
As it stands, the current build:
Case

Video Card
PSU

Mobo

With rebates and September 'Special Offers', it comfortably fits my budget of $1000.
