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 have never experienced the full power and potential of a Solid State Drive, still running on Hard Disks. Adding one by Corsair will most definitely make my computing experience more enjoyable!
On dried up sharpie marks I use aerosol deodorant (axe, old spice) to get them off. Just spray a generous amount on the mark and you should see right away that it desolves. Then gently wipe away the residue. At my highschool kids always mark up lockers so its always handy to have deodorant =)
I'm assuming he is referring to the fatal1ty edition? The plats for the X-FI series is the lesser version compared to the gamers (fatal1ty?).
I checked the website and found the plats for $125, but the gamer one was $270link
If you can wait a week or two, AMD is cutting their processor prices in HALF. That should give you some better options for upgrading.
If you save up some more, you can probably have a very decent conroe build, which I think would be even better.
