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 currently have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001380 which serves me well for the small amount of console gaming that I do but it sucks for reading. I've been using a television for a monitor for a while but its starting to bother me as its really hard to read on...
Danny I've read the forum and several other threads of people asking for hardware advice and realized that trying to have some sort of color scheme is absurd. I'll make this easier to offer advice.
Between the gigabyte board and asus board I understand that overclocking would be more user...
Cleaned up the first post with the my new thoughts and concerns. If anyone can chime in on anything that I have mentioned above I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks for the headsup Danny I was not aware of that artificial limit on Home Premium! That RAM you have here is something that I will probably switch out as well thank you. I have also seen many people with a sour taste in their mouth from OCZ so I will take your advice and use the samsung...
Thank you for posting this. I definitely like the idea of fan control thank you very much I will definitely look into this. I need to see the compatibility with Linux.
As for the casing, I myself have ordered a Switch 810 as nothing beats it for the price, features, design and look. I haven't...
I am in the final stages of a new build that I plan to use for some video encoding/music editing/ and streaming of video-game-play (xbox 360) and just general use. I am also looking to get into gaming eventually and will upgrade the gpu at that time.

I appreciate you trying to help. I don't turn my cpu off and don't need anything to boot up in .3 seconds. I have this money set aside for this and while I don't game now it is directly related to the fact that I am running OSX and there are no games/gaming sucks. I may love gaming on the PC...
About ready to pull the trigger. I appreciate everyone telling me I don't really need the power I am intending on getting I just feel that I won't need to get anything for a long time this way.

I won't embarrass myself with my 'crazy multi-tasking' example.
While I may not use all of these pieces to their fulllest extent now I am doing more and more on the computer each day and this seems like a hobby I am going to enjoy.
I don't really think I'll need to upgrade the cpu for a...
I have tried to go amd but when I try I am always lured back to the i7 as it outperforms everything on the market in relation to cpu intensive tasks.
I have considered the 260 and 460 as they appear to be the best cards for the price right now.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
If any gaming it will be light. Very light Photoshop use web browsing and dripping dvd/blu-ray video.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Budget is around a $1,000 I can go above if I need to...
