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.

So i just recently bought an EVGA GTX 970 from Best Buy, it is branded as the SSC version of the card yet it does not have the bios switch and from what I have read it is using an outdated heatsink/fan shroud.
My question is, would I be able to return it to Best Buy for a full refund, the...
I think that I will be going with the set up that tirades built minus the DVD burner and using a different keyboard, one that was cheaper, thanks for the help.
Okay, sorry for not posting for a while, I've been busy. The money has arrived I am limiting my purchase window to one week. like what arentol did by providing a link to a bundled PC, that would be the most helpful so that all the parts arrive at or around the same time, and it makes my life a...
