What's the issue with Gigabyte? I have no issues with ASUS/Gigabyte, always assumed they were of similar quality. Avoiding that ASRock board because I'm not a fan of the Qualcomm NIC. If I bumped up to the Z87-A, I might as well get the Z87-Pro with built in Wifi, since it's the same cost as a...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming with games like Far Cry 3, Skyrim, Bioware RPGs, art in Photoshop, Corel Painter, Paint Tool SAI, and general use. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? 1900 USD, yes. 3) Which country do you live...

Got everything running, was right about BIOS update. Don't think my chip is a great OCer - I was bumping up clocks at 1.4v (the most I feel comfortable with for a 24/7 OC) just to see what I could hit and got bluescreens at 4.6 GHz, but I have quite a bit of voltage overhead at 4.4, which I...

I've used this RAM before with this exact mobo and it worked fine. I'll try reseating it. Way ahead of you, didn't do much. I'll try it again. Edit: Reseating RAM gets it to boot - now I've got a blank screen with a blinking cursor at the top left and B2 at the bottom right. Edit 2: Stuck in...

Ordered parts and put everything together tonight. The fans spin up for a few seconds then the system turns off. If I leave the power switch on the back turned on, it will continually do this. Any advice on how to troubleshoot? Edit for video...

Considering that it's 85 on Amazon, is there any merit to spending 20 more dollars for a 2 fan solution like the h100i or NZXT Kraken X60? Note that I'm willing to switch cases to accommodate this.

What are your suggestions for all-in-one liquid cooling solutions, then?

Don't really want to do watercooling, as there's a not zero chance I move this rig back and forth between two places once every few months - air cooling seems more solid for that. Is there somewhere I can see temp differences between the Coolermaster and the Thermaltake? What's the difference...

Would you change out anything?

OK, now I'm probably ordering tomorrow, but I've thought about a few things and switched stuff out in an effort to spend less money for similar performance. My old computer has an i5-2500k and a MSI P67A-G45 (B3) that are in working condition, and looking at benchmarks I don't see much reason...

I've seen it said elsewhere that these issues are related to specific brands more than the actual controller, which is why I was curious. The reason I was avoiding the 840 was the lower write endurance, but I've learned that that's basically a non-issue for the regular user - I'll switch it out.

It's probably more than 2 months on the monitor. I wish I could give you a better timeframe on the time of purchase - chances are I'll bump this when I actually have money. Just want to get a solid idea of what I'm looking to get. What's the issue with Sandforce drives?

Edit: It's sold. I'm looking to sell an ASUS G46VW I got in February in order to fund moving back into a desktop. It's in lightly used condition other than the charger, which is frayed, but still works. This would be a fantastic laptop for MMOs, MOBAs, or console ports on the go at moderate...

Edit: Potentially changing scope of this build, read this post. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Primarily gaming, but it will also be a school and music box. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? 1200-1400 USD but going cheaper isn't...

I'm going to have to agree with the comments about it being most people's first RPG and that it was blessed with a great-timed release to coincide with the spike in popularity of the internet.

So, I'm assuming it's easy to tell the crappy ones from the good ones?

And, uh, where is the software that makes a P2 run like a Conroe?

TheCommander: You can edit your posts. I'd be more interested in the "We have BILLIONS OF MECH PARTS WOO" part of AC, rather than just meches in general.

1. World of Warcraft: I have all day to play this? RAIDING TIME! Also gives me human contact so I don't go totally crazy. The other 4 can be damned. WoW could last me until I convince someone in-game that I'm stuck on an island.

It doesn't fit the sides, honestly. I'm not a fan of this, but it's not going to make me quit or anything.

Now that I'm in the right thread... :D 3 passes to hand out. PM with e-mail and I'll send 'em your way.

Pretty sure it does widescreen. Enjoy the addiction, man. Previously mentioned tips of reading class forums (stick to the stickies, stay away from the regular posts. Lots of flaming and bitching), using Thottbot, and reading the quests still apply.

edit: reading comprehension. it rocks.

To my knowledge, nothing that can play commercial games playably. Emulators are legal.

This is an awesome premise for an FPS. I'd pay for this as a full game, honestly.

I'd have to say that if a game isn't majorly story driven, it has majorly goal-based gameplay. Think about the major games that aren't really story-driven: MMOs, sidescrollers, sims, and so on. You're always striving for that next level/piece-of-gear/win, so it appeals to those with a...

I'm wondering how you accidentally purchase something.

Could import one, I'm pretty sure they aren't region-locked.
