• 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.

    Newbie looking to build an SFF system

    Couple questions: 1) Is an i5 quad core practical for non gaming purposes? I am not looking to play games, but I would love for everything I listed above to run very smoothly. 2) Do I need to spring for a GPU or is the Intel HD Integrated Graphics suffice for my uses?
