    Best SLI Haswell (Z97 LG1150) MoBo

    I'm looking for the 'best of the best' motherboard so consider my budget unlimited in this regard. I'm upgrading my system to support another GTX 1080 and also want to be able to have an m2 ssd. Thanks for any help.

    1440p monitor sometimes drops resolution to 1024x768 after restart.

    So like the title says, I have been having this problem all morning since I first plugged this new monitor in. It's worth noting that this only happens when I plug into the displayport but it seems to work fine through HDMI. Just plugging in through the HDMI isn't an option because my PC...

    Need help building an office PC

    Just to put this out there, one of the main things users of office PC's complain about is boot up times and program responsiveness (or lack thereof) so maybe consider a small SSD just big enough for the OS and to install the most used programs onto. That out of the way I'll try to help you out...
