I have not. Looks great. Thank you, I'll look into it for sure.

The keyboard isn't for normal computing use. Trying to fix a people problem. The function keys in this specific instance will shortcut through a process incorrectly and cause more problems down the road, long story I'd rather not get into it. So, I'm on the lookout to see if it exists and...

Hey everyone. I am looking for a keyboard that does NOT have the F1-F12 or the FN keys on it. I've been looking through 60% and 65% keyboards but everything I've looked at has a FN button with a function layer. Extremely basic keyboard. Ideally it won't have RGB either. QWERTY and Number...

Hello everyone! Looking to do some hopefully minor upgrades to my computer so I can provide better overall stream quality and performance when I'm playing newer games. Right now, I consider it below average but its working. Years ago I used this forum to get me to where I am today and so I'm...

That makes sense and valid points on the other issues. I will be upgrading to Windows 10 with the hard drive since it is definitely needed, I agree. As for the BIOS I honestly never considered updating it. The pc has been stable and I more or less forgot about it. I’ll look up the latest...

I generally go through Newegg to buy my parts but have a coworker that swears by Amazon so I may go that route for once. Regardless, if its just not compatible with the board I'd rather not waste the time finding out after the fact. It is just odd that the benchmark site said it was...

My motherboard is a GA-H170-D3HP-CF and I was looking into getting a 500GB M.2 970 Evo to replace one of my mechanical drives or just an addition. I was playing around in UserBenchmark.com, when I threw together my benchmark and changed the SSD to the 970 it showed that my motherboard was...

Hey everyone, Networking isn't a big forte of mine so I come to you all. Long story short, I am looking for an alternative to this little guy: https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/WL330N/ Longer story... We use them on a shopfloor to connect production machines (ie: robodrills) to a wireless...

Thanks for explaining. Flipped to the Gigabyte ATX board and the Crucial memory. I think that about sums it up for me so I'll be headed to the checkout lane soon. Appreciate the advice guys, thank you.

How are those boards better buys, aside from the price difference. Is the PRO prone to failing consistently? (Edit: Lack of PCI slots on the PRO that I didn't notice. Will adjust.) I'm not sure how I'm skimping on the memory either? The timings between the G.SKILL and the Crucial are almost...

Alright so this is where I'm at. Gonna stick with the PRO MoBo and I went with the G.SKILL 16GB memory. Cheaper than going with two of the Crucials. GPU I changed to the GIGABYTE since its currently the same price ($40 off right now) as the ASUS. The case I'm debating on right now. Its $30...

Thanks for the suggestions. Did you link the right mobo? The H170 is DDR3 and the RAM is DDR4. This maybe? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132575&cm_re=ASUS_H170-_-13-132-575-_-Product As for the video card, AMD has a sour spot with me right now. My display...

Hey guys, So all the information in the OP is still relevant (didn't feel it necessary to make a new thread). Shortly after asking for advice had a bit of Murphy's Law happen with my finances. The parts I had hoped to get didn't happen, thankfully in hindsight. But now I'm back to a position...

Valid points. 4590 it is. While on the subject, whats the recommended thermal paste to be going with these days? I had forgotten in my original post that I have a Razer Barracuda AC-1 sound card installed. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829153003 Since the board...

Can't remember the last time I used Intel. I'll take the leap away from AMD, why not, should be fun. I'll take you up on your suggestions on the MB and GPU, thank you for that. Question to why you suggested the i5-4590 instead of the i5-4690 or i5-4690k? I'm assuming for price?

The specs on the 280 gpu say that it requires a minimum of a 750W power supply.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Will be gaming 90% and doing web-based work-related stuffs but mainly gaming. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? ~$500 mark, this is flexible. 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please...

What FPS games have you already played? What genre? Arma 2:Operation Arrowhead, Arma 3 beta, Fallout 3, STALKER, Minecraft, Silent Hunter series has FPS movement, DCS A-10 is first person, Skyrim. Granted all games you have to buy first but it works.

This is what I thought as well. The intro for Ezio gave me chills the way it was executed and the way that it played out. With Connor, I was just, unmoved. And the initiation into the Brotherhood... not even a wiggle down there. I dont know if its just me but Connor ages weirdly to me...

I watched that developer video and was drawn into the game, it was the first time I've even heard of it. Love me some realistic mideval combat games. I was flipping through their forums looking for information on the pre-order early access (not available if you pre-order after 25 September)...

I'd also like to throw out there that you have to run the game at least one time before going into offline mode to activate the game. If you don't run the game and just have it installed, you won't be able to play it in offline mode until you do. You can also copy the game folder from your...

If Runic Games goes out of business - I will still play TL2. If Blizzard goes out of business - I will have a paperweight. That is pretty much how I decide on my purchase even if it is a 'what if' situation.

I'm in agreement with everyone here. Picked it up off GOG and played the hell out of it while doing mining ops in EVE. I started out on Easy just to get a feel for it and was alright up until, like others, the end boss kicked my ass first round. I went from paying attention to mining cycles...

Same with a video card. If you cant figure out where a video card goes how'd you figure out how to hook up the 360?

I think its more to do with it just being the norm. As a kid we had games that have never been thought of. 2D pixelated graphics. Had to think through situations. 640x480 games woo! We got the best that gaming had to offer. Like a relationship, things are always best in the beginning...

True, I will give you that. Not to throw this off topic but wouldn't that kill the performance of the game on a PC? Seeing as the console would be optimized for split screen, chances are the PC version would be optimized for a single player. Unless like you said, its been developed...

Biggest difference between a console and a computer, in my opinion, is the social aspect of it. I'm not talking sitting in my living room playing online with others either. I'm talking when I have friends over and we're all a few drinks in and decide to massacre each other in whatever fps is...

Alright, so I wanted to update you guys on everything so far. I ended up finding a store with a 965 so I picked it up. Was an extra 50 bucks from whats online but at the time didn't care. Came home plugged it in without an issue and guess what, friggan blue screen. So wtf.. After some...

Didn't know anything was patched out. I have cared so little to even check up on it. But now I may.

I bought one of their games on steam, once. HAWX 2. Bought it months ago. So far, I have put exactly "0" minutes into that game. Can't connect to the servers, times out and disconnects me. For this reason I can't bring myself to buy another game of theirs (and there are some that I...

Damn youre fast man. Ill most likely go with the 965 but Ill check out the FX one later this evening. Girlfriends getting mad Im posting here instead of paying attention to her stories.

So no shop here in town has a processor in stock. So since Ill have to wait until Thursday possibly Friday to get my computer running again I may as well order one and overnight it. So please if you could suggest a decent upgrade to the cpu I have?

Youre tellin me. Thanks for the help. Im gonna run to town tomorrow after work and just buy a new cpu. The same or close to what I have now hopefully.

Fuck. Well on the positive side I was at least able to post and get into the bios. But blue screens after that. Anyway... looks like new cpu time. Awesome.

Rechecked the cpu and one pin broke off after I unmounted it. That enough to screw the entire cpu?

Moved the rtc jumper and no change. Building the computer outside the case will have to wait for tomorrow.

I am on my phone, typing this. Give ya an idea how great the change went? Everything seems to boot fine but no post. No screen display at all. And the MemOK light is solid red no matter what I do. Every single stick of RAM I have is apparently incompatible with this motherboard. Pushin, the...

So I finally got this motherboard ordered and the UPS guy just dropped it off at my doorstep. Then as I'm looking at it, I have a realization. OEM copy of Windows 7 64bit. IIRC, those are "one install only" copies. So... will I be able to switch out this motherboard and reactivate the...

I'll check out the customer preview later this evening. Thanks for that heads up! As for what version, Home and Student are enough to fit the needs of what I need. Don't use Outlook outside of work. If I was able to somehow get Access I wouldn't complain, though. As for budget, I'm...

I need to rebuy a new Office package. Get a messaging saying 'This software isn't configured for this OS'... or something along those lines. Where could I get a copy of Office 2010 without giving up eating for a week? I do not know anyone currently in college and my work doesn't offer...
