Hi all... So built up a new pc with 4750g as the apu. Cant get it to get past post.... once it tries to start windows it crashes right away... Though with 3400g--everything works fine.. mobo=b550i and bios is updated to f11p (newest) cpu=4750g (on the mobo support list of cpu's that work) mem=...

Hi all.. so built up a new computer... finally got all working (no thanks to gigabyte).... But the one last problem im having is -- i CANT get usb sound to play out of the computer... Its a cheap heatset-- huhd 399b--- but it does work on my other computer no problems.. 1. i can see the...

i dont see how i can get the ti into the budget at all.. If you look above-- youll see that i was at $875 for the computer minus the gpu... with a ti it comes out to almost $1700... That doesnt include a monitor---- which i can give the kid a 24" i have laying around-- even two of them...

Dangman--- i hear you and agree.... though looking at the fps resluts from different tests you see guys getting close to the same performance with a 2700k that they are with a 6700k... Sigh... my buddy is STUCK @ $1500 and wont budge.. Right now im looking at 120gb samsung 850 evo @ 69 hgst...

Do you guys think -- it would be better to get a 980ti and do a 4670 i5 setup.... vs a 970gtx with a 6700 and z170? .... Im starting to think that the gpu is doing all the work.. And most of these games arnt cpu dependent... So the kid is on a older cpu-- its not bottlenecked anyways... but a...

Any thoughts on hard drive? 3tb enough? Brand? How about psu? 500-750 would be enough juice... One brand holding its head higher these days?

Im digging this thread-- cause i agree with you guys.. that performance vs cost value is nice to find... cpu... i was able to get the 6700k for 309... So for the same or better price then the 6600k and not that much more then the 4690k.... It seemed like a good way to go.. mobo... z170...

Yeah he is pretty stuck on the budget of $1500.... It was like pulling teeth to get him to spend the $1500... If your not a gamer/computer person-- they all think anything more then $600 for a computer is too much.. You know how it is.. I still think this system will be pretty darn quick.. The...

Hi all..... Building a gaming rig for my buddies kid.. Been reading around and wanted to see if what i came up with makes sense for the build.. The kid is only going to game on this.. No encoding or anything else.. Im trying to find that right balance between value and performance.. Here is...

Finally got it fixed.. to be honest dont know really what i did.. Finally got to a screen that let me load a driver or do a sys restore.. Did that and all good in da hood :)

good grief--- Installation* Just updated my usb driver--- as it went through the setup it turned off the current usb drivers that were running to update.. After it installed the new drivers it asked for me to click "finish" to complete the installation.. Only problem-- the usb's were still off...

Just picked up a new kinwin stryker 500 passive psu.. Love it.. silent :)... But i noticed when i woke the computer today the psu clicked a few times like it was warming up some capacitors or something like that .. Should i do a burn in on the psu to get things settled in?

Thanks jkramp.. I had already done that-- i was just looking for a cleaner way to do this in the bios--leaving the case connector attached in case i wanted to use it again at a later time.. :)

Raja. Is there a place in the bios to turn off the reset button? On my case the reset button is right on top in front and i find i hit and force a hard restart from time to time.. No good.. So trying to figure out how to turn that off.. thanks..

Ive actually thought about that.. Getting the prolimatech gpu heatsink and slapping that on a gpu.. Though im not gaming.. I just email-- trade stocks etc.. That is how the 4770 is pulling off 3 screens.. Just seems like i need a litttttttle bit more umph.. Maybe that 7750 would do.. edit---...
