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.

It's a prebuilt system, not sure when it was purchased - but I've inherited it at no cost... Suffice to say, I plan on building my next system, but the timeframe depends on my options here I guess.
The motherboard is an Intel Desktop Board 945GTP
I'm looking to get a video card for photo editing using, primarily Adobe Lightroom 3 (once I upgrade), Photoshop Elements, Capture NX2 (possibly). My main concern right now is with Lightroom working with RAW/NEF files. (I may use the full version of photoshop in the future, but probably not...
