    I've placed an order for the cooler! I do seem to be having a problem with the graphics card though. Every once in a while, when I start up my computer, my secondary monitor would not work when plugged into any of the graphics inputs(black screen with green/purple bars on top), but works with...

    Hey everyone, just updating post build with a few questions. Everything went fairly well. Cable management was a pain, but I got most of them out of the way. I haven't had time to load LR/PS yet, nor do any gaming, but everything else is blazing fast compared to my laptop. I did try running...

    I left them an email asking what my options are. I hope they are able to swap it out before it ships.

    No problem, you were very helpful, thank you! This machine will definitely be a huge upgrade. Yeah, I don't think I will RMA it unless Newegg waives the restocking fee.

    Is it worth contacting their CS to change it? I most likely won't notice any difference with speed. I guess the most important thing is reliability until I upgrade my it to something bigger/newer a couple years down the road.

    Okay, I will give them a call to see if I can switch out the cards. I guess that's the bad thing about having fast shipping. I will be order the rest of the stuff from amazon after that. Too bad amazon takes forever to ship and I won't be getting my stuff until next week. They're closed for the...

    Is there one card in particular that would be better? Like this? And I've already placed my order for the parts at Newegg (but not amazon) so I'll see if I can exchange that card out. Oh wow, I just checked my order status and apparently it's already listed as shipped. Is the CS that much...

    Oh no, definitely not carrying the system around. I'm do product photography ocassionally, so I will be setting it up right next to my desktop. My laptop is a '09 MBP. I do most of my heavy lifting at home (editing and remote shooting) and don't really do anything on the go. I usually only take...

    Okay, I will stick to the 4670k. I have a problem where I tend spend a bit more to buy things I probably won't ever need, but I still restrain myself this time (even though losing the Grid2 game makes me sad, haha). I might be purchasing the cpu and mobo at amazon for $20 more for the piece of...

    Thanks for the quick response! And sorry, I haven't bought any of the parts yet, I was just manually inputting the sale price. I'll look into either the HD 7970 or GTX 770. Any pros and cons for either one? Those free games are very enticing, haha. As photoshopping goes, I generally do most of...

    Hey everyone. I'm looking to replace my laptop (old MBP) as my primary computer and I decided to build another computer after about 7 years. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Web browsing, school work, photo editing (lightroom and photoshop), and...
