    Logical Upgrade(s) to my system?

    Hey guys, I built my gaming PC a few years ago and haven't upgrade much/at all since then, so I was wondering if there's anything new and useful. Here's my build: CPU: i5-3570k cooled by a Cooler Master 212 GPU: EVGA GTX 770 (had a 670, but a friend gave me the 770, so that's the "upgrade")...

    Best digitizer stylus?

    Maybe. If nobody else responds then certainly I will have to give it to you. This website http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/microsoft/55416-tabletpc-compatible-wacom-pens-work-surface-pro.html states that "Wacom Intuos, Graphire and Bamboo graphics tablets will not work with a tabletPC" so you are...

    Best digitizer stylus?

    Holding the stylus isn't an issue, I can put that in a pen slot in my backpack or in my pocket if need be. And the ThinkPad Yoga has a Wacom Digitizer, so all pens that use that can be used, which are interchangeable.

    Best digitizer stylus?

    Hey guys, so I've been considering buying a Thinkpad Yoga for college. The 1920x1080 model supports the use of digitizer input styluses like Wacom, unlike the Surface Pro 3 which is N-trig. The TPY may or may not come with a stylus if I buy it refurbished, but either way I've heard it's a pretty...

    Best Bang-for-buck laptop for College Engineering?

    I'm not really looking for a chromebook, as they can only use programs off the Chrome Store; no Windows or Play Store apps either. For under $700 (699.39 to be exact) I can get an HP Envy 15t-j100 Quad Edition with i7-4700MQ, 840M dedicated graphics, 8GB RAM, and 1080p. It's the stock model with...

    Best Bang-for-buck laptop for College Engineering?

    I currently have a desktop that I built, so that part is covered. I was thinking of getting this http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/z-series/z40/?sb=:000001C9:00011E08: It's a Lenovo Z40 with an i7 and 820M discrete. For the price it sounds pretty good.

    Best Bang-for-buck laptop for College Engineering?

    Is it even worth it to go for one that expensive? Would I be limited in any way if I were to go for a cheaper ~$400-$600 option?

    700w enough for msi gtx 670 pe

    Yes, that's absolutely enough power. More than enough even. I have a 650W for my 670 and it works great. You might have a defective PSU or GPU, either is possible. Make sure your PSU is plugged firmly into your wall outlet and all the cables in your case are in properly. If nothing works I'd...
