    Need Help with Basic Home PC Build (Budget: $400-$600 USD)

    LOL :D I wouldn't sweat it, I guess it's not really girly per say, it's just her favorite color. I guess some might think it's girly but idk. I really like Crucial but so it's a toss up. At the moment I think I'm going to spring the extra $20-25 for the G.SKILL. I really do like Crucial's...

    Okay so, she went through mid towers and came up w/ these. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811121120 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119289 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129066...

    Need Help with Basic Home PC Build (Budget: $400-$600 USD)

    I think it's the LED's more than the design. I just looked up how to add LED's to a case so I'm going to have her go back through and see if there is something without LED's that she likes. She just doesn't want a futuristic design

    well she went through newegg and those were the cases she liked. Do you have a recommendation for a different site to go through? Chances are if I can just find a decent looking case that I could deck out with some red LED's it would be fine

    Ok so she didn't like any of your favorites :D But these are the one's she liked: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147157 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811345002 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021 I haven't...

    Need Help with Basic Home PC Build (Budget: $400-$600 USD)

    Awesome, that's good to know. As long as it's snappy enough for her needs that's all that matters. And indeed I might go for that Seasonic PSU you mentioned. Instead of going for 2TB I might get 2x1TB. Do you happen to know how much room I have to play w/ in terms of power? Just out of...

    Need Help with Basic Home PC Build (Budget: $400-$600 USD)

    Would it be worth it to go for one of those i5's instead? Also, what changes would you make if you didn't account for the speakers, case & burner? Sorry don't mean to be a pain in the ass. Btw, how do ya'll do this (seemingly) so effortlessly? :x

    Need Help with Basic Home PC Build (Budget: $400-$600 USD)

    I was thinking so. :\ Think that'll seriously limit the quality of the build? Ideally I'd hope this PC would last ~5-10 years. Would hate to skimp on the $ if it'd turn out to get sub-par hardware. If it were to creep up to $700ish that'd be ok I suppose. The drive is 15-20 minutes. Does the...

    Need Help with Basic Home PC Build (Budget: $400-$600 USD)

    Hi all, Happy New Year :) I wanted to start by saying that the previous build that everyone helped with has been running great, and I've really enjoyed it. Thanks for all the help! I'm back for any help I can get on another build. This time for my girlfriend who isn't using it for work...

    DisplayFusion Pro Vs. UltraMon?

    Just wanted to jump in and throw some more support behind DisplayFusion. I shopped around between a few, including CineMastery and UltraMon, and settled on DisplayFusion. Testing 30 day trial of Pro but already have decided I'm going to purchase a license. Couldn't imagine not using it now :)

    Need Help with a Build - $1500-2000 Budget

    Nice! Worked perfectly! Got all 3 up and it's working well. Didn't at first but realized I was missing a video controller driver. The card is about $100 after mail-in rebate now, which is great. So even if I had to get it I wouldn't feel too bad. But anyway... Thanks for the help...

    Need Help with a Build - $1500-2000 Budget

    Thanks jetstream. I was afraid this was the case but it's not an issue. I'll get another card, exact same one, and run the bridge. Appreciate the help. Also, the build is great so far. Been monitoring it's performance in terms of temp, fans, etc. All good so far, loving it! :)

    Need Help with a Build - $1500-2000 Budget

    Hey guys. Got everything all done yesterday... thought I'd be done faster but been uncharacteristically busy. Everything came together well. I have one question I was hoping someone could address. If this is the wrong section I'll post to a new one no problem. Basically, I have 3 monitors...

    Was able to get everything except the monitor, which is OK. I can always pick up something else. Really appreciate all the help guys! Can't express that enough.
