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.
Thanks for the info, definitely didn't see the sticky. I still don't know what was wrong the first time but when I assembled it the first time there was a four year old watching SpongeBob extremely loud so I guess I wasn't focused. I uninstalled everything and started over, pressed power and I'm...
Not sure if this is the right forum but I got my parts in today, went to put it together. Everything seemed okay, had everything plugged in (only thing I didn't have plugged in were the case fans, there were 6 wires and my mobo only have 2 system fan slots. It's the 600T btw if anyone can help...
Yea, I'm ordering a Z68 board. Kinda like the one you linked but the Z68X version http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00518M74I/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER I liked the one you linked but I'm going for an all black look. What can I say, I'm shallow.
Sorry for the long bump. I have enough to purchase everything in my build except a HDD (have a SSD for windows and other things) and a video card. Doesn't the 1155 chipsets have onboard GPU's that I can use until I get a video card. It would only be another week or two before I got a video card...
Will do, I was just looking for a modular one but when I think about it, that case I picked is huge so I shouldn't have a problem with cable management. Other than that is everything pretty solid?
Okay I took the suggestions and started putting things together. How does this build look?

Man, I left more out. Yea, don't need Blu Ray, don't even need a burner just a drive. Also I was looking at 560ti's and had a question about this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127578 how would that stack up to the 570 you posted?
My bad, I'm new. I plan on playing Skyrim, BF3 (although I know I won't max with my budget), Crysis 1/2, Deus Ex, Metro 2033 (I know I won't max that either). Pretty much RPG's, FPS, the occasional racing game. And I'd be ready to build now but can wait til November if there's a chance on prices...
I've really gotten into PC gaming (have an ASUS G50) and I'm ready to make the jump to desktop since my laptop isn't cutting it anymore. Never built one before however I've lurked pc forums for awhile so I have some knowledge about hardware. I def want to go i5 2500k and want a Corsair 500R (the...
