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.
When I have just one monitor the gtx 680 clocks down as it should and the temp is about 36 C. The CPU is about 33 C. My room temperature is 23 C.
Is there a way I can manually set up a profile that will make things run cooler with all three monitors when I'm not gaming?
I'm running the following system:
i7 3770k (not overclocked) with a True Spirit 120 and Arctic MX-4
eVGA GTX 680 Superclocked
I have three monitors connected:
1 - 1080p in landscape orientation
1 - 1080p in portrait orientation
1 - 1680 x 1050 in portrait orientation
My CPU cores are idling...
True, but I have a 128 GB SSD in my computer, and with Windows 7, a few essential programs, and Diablo 3, it is already using 52 GB. He might want a little more extra storage.
Also, he might want to upgrade the video card in the future. Is the 520 W Antec NEO ECO the same quality as the 400 W version?

If I get the i5 2400 sandy bridge will that most likely work without a BIOS update?
Also, I looked at the amd website for the hd 7770, and they recommend at least a 500 W psu. The one that was suggested is only 400 W.
My friend thinks he'd rather have the i5 3550 ivy bridge - $210. Will that work with that intel mobo?
Is there a smaller hdd that you'd recommend to keep the price under $700? An ssd would put it over budget.

Thanks for the suggestions! I guess I could go with that Intel mobo.
As for the video card, my friend's brother has that card and it plays Diablo 3 well. I've heard that Radeon cards tend to have more driver problems than nvidia. Is that true?
My friend wants to build a budget gaming PC to play Diablo 3. I need advice to lower the cost as much as possible. He wants to be able to play at medium to high settings at 1080p.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Playing Diablo 3 only
2) What's your...
