Not sure about quality. At least it's modern enough to have PFC.

I paid on the 31st of October and haven't received the item or a refund yet even though he offered. I have since escalated my claim through PayPal since he is ignoring all contact. It's always sad to see people scammed like this.

I have used tenkeyless or reduced size keyboards exclusively for many years now and will never go back. It's always just as easy to have a separate 10 key that you can put away when you aren't using.

I would update USB drivers and power delivery. Maybe you have a short somewhere.

Cherry switches with dampeners is pretty quiet. Especially Browns or Blacks. They are pretty quiet without dampeners as well if you practice on not bottoming out.

This is epic.

Wow, that thing is really cool. The cat cliche is tired though. Nice build.

Good information, ASRock is an interesting company.

Nice job.

That DFI board looks great.

Good to know.

My only guess would be a driver update but you did that. Did you uninstall the old drivers before you installed the new ones?

Onboard sound is fine for the majority of users.

I never use AI Suite either. It's garbage. I just install the Intel and ASMedia drivers for my USB3.

What an excellent resource! Will read through it now.

Cheap and works. Electric tape would work as well.

Yes, like others noted, try it in another machine to be sure as well as testing individual sticks.

This is an odd problem, interested in the solution.

If you're willing to spend that much on a power supply I would look at silence(fanless) and lower wattage power supplies. The x650 will run that system with ease.

I think other manufacturer's have better track records with motherboards, but if your reason for that board is 3 PCIEx16 3.0 and cheap then it's the one you want. I would consider the Gigabyte Z77 UD5H as well but it is more expensive.

Another vote for the capstone here. Also if you are interested in silence the SeaSonic X460 or the Kingwin Stryker 500w fanless are great choices.

I would choose a Kingwin Stryker 500w fanless if you are interested in silence. Or in that case a SeaSonic X400/460. Tsumi is absolutely correct about the wattages though. Don't forget about the amperage on your 12v rail as well when choosing the correct power supply.

Good idea to swap PSU's to make sure.

Capstone are a good lineup proven by the reviews listed above.

These would be your best bets for TFX and SFX power supplies with low wattages: SeaSonic TFX 300w SilverStone SFX 450w

Yup the 7870 is the most performance for the money right now.

Agreed.

7970 are pretty cheap nowadays. I would go with the newest single card iteration.

I have nothing to base this on except for that most 2xx series cards have this pinout, but I would agree with you.

A memory upgrade would be cheap. An SSD would be a cheap very noticeable upgrade. Your 940 at that clock speed is still good enough for most games. If anything you might buy another 460 to SLI with your current to keep your system valid for a longer time period.

If your aim is just a cheap GPU and your options are 7770 or 650 I would go with the 7770.

I think the difference will be at what price point. They are both fairly equal in terms of performance but at different price points. How much do you want to spend? I think at this point you could spend less with AMD and get the best performance at those resolutions.

I thought this game was good but could have used more development.

Pretty fun game, it's worth a few bucks.

Great game, I am enjoying it.

Excellent comparison demonstrating price points.

Good review with very interesting results.

Fantastic article!

I love AMD cards. Their overclocking prowess, affordability, and consistent quality are always winners in my book. Love their most recent drivers as well.

I like their unique fan designs that facilitate easier cleaning.
