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.
Thanks for the help - ordered everything.
That Windows 8 upgrade needs a current installation of Windows on the PC it's being used on, and it's not student exclusive.
I live about an hour and 30 minutes away from that Microcenter unfortunately.
The reason I chose AMD is because I've seen people recommend the Phenom quad-core over the newer Intel dual-cores on r/buildapc.
