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.
well then I guess I wont need a new power supply or the 790fx motherboard.
The reason I say November is because that is when Modern Warfare 2 comes out, and that is really the next game I plan on playing, and the main reason for building this computer. So maybe I am better off waiting until...
Thanks HG, you have been a really big help! :) I just have a couple questions :
-why the corsair 750tx over the 650tx? Is the 650tx be enough for 4890 crossfire?
-is it worth spending the extra $50-$60 on a 790fx motherboard for the 16x/16x pci-e lanes vs the 8x/8x on the 790x?
-now that I...

I just read that and the phenom setup is deffinitly better for 1920x1200
now im thinking about getting a phenom x3 720 instead of the x4.. and maybe a SSD with the savings.
Basically I just have one question, I am building a PC that is for gaming only (well besides just browsing the web) and i was wondering which setup would be better at 1900x1080?
Phenom x4 940 OC'd to 3.6-4.0
4gb ddr2
4890 crossfire
OR
i7 920 OC'd to 3.8-4.0
6gb ddr3
4890 (no CF)...
I am 55 second prestige. I would be a lot higher if I actually wanted to get to 10th but I really don't even care. I wish I wouldnt have prestiged in their first place but it was an impulse decision.
