I just bought an Asus F555LA-AB31 $356 with taxes and shipping included! :D 5th-generation 2.1 GHz Core i3-5010U (1920*1080) (4 gigs of ram) I bought this laptop mainly for school since i game on my desktop. I want to attach an external graphics card for occasional gaming when traveling. Im...

I didnt had a chance to reply since i've been crazy busy but i ended up finding a deal on craigslist and bought an Asrock z77 extreme 3 (usb 3.0, pci 3.0, sli, crossfire) and a Gygabite HD 7870 Ghz edition for $80. I bought the video card since he would only take $55 for mobo lol. now i can...

i don't really NEED to buy a new case, but then again i just want to save me headaches from pulling pins and mapping out each individual connector to fit a new mobo

sadly it does not support crossfire. Also, i did looked into a motherboard upgrade before posting here. asus z75 pro 3 runs for $86 with shipping from newegg and i would need a case since the proprietary connectors on the dell case. this means that i would need a new case (around $60 for one...

hey thanks for the answers, but im not planning on spending $340+ Basically I would only pay 140 including the i5, the motherboard and the ram. Yeah ill be doing many "favors" for my friend, but it just involves building his system and updating some other stuff and i have fun doing it so i dont...

thanks for your input, is your answer based because of hyper threading ability or because higher cache of the i7. Knowing that you prefer i7's, if you had to pick one of the two systems above which would you pick? also, wouldn't the i5 system perform better than my current i7 in games like...

Hello, i have an i7-2600 with dell motherboard, 8gb ram (4x2gb), 240gb ssd, xfx ts 550w (+12@45Amp), and xfx r9 380. I can have i5-4690k, asus rog maximus vi hero, 16gb ram (2x8gb), 240 ssd, xfx ts 550w sitting in an nzxt s340. basically since this consist in some kind of trade it would cost...

Im not worried about windows. I looked up the proprietary connector thing and i don't want to pull all pins and make a diagram and then plug them into the new mobo since i have a case that can be used and to avoid headaches. Also a lame fix would be getting a power switch and using mobo usb...

Hey guys im looking for a motherboard replacement for my dell since the r9 380 i have is not being taken by the stock motherboard (many people have this problem with video cards). I want to update without spending more than 80-110 because my cpu is i7 2600 (non k). It would be nice to be able...

alright like the title says, this topic will provide 3 different builds based around the 860K for BUDGET BUILDS! Please discuss what you think and what can be improved/ what would you do differently around the build. CPU: obviously Athlon X4 860k @74.99 amazon MOTHERBOARD: Entry level: MSI A68...

i know this is old thread but i just want to put it out there. lets say X processor runs at 3.2ghz lets say you raise the base clock 20% higher than stock and set your memory speed and fsb settings close to stock. this yields about 3.8ghz... lets say you set vcore to auto and stress test and...

i think many people have had same issues (or just a dead videocard) for what i have been searching... anyone has any suggestions?
