Thanks! I had a small issue with steam not wanting to write to a folder on my C: but that was fixed by making a folder that wasn't in the x86 program files. All good now I think, just need to do the actual switching of game location.

I have Steam installed on a 1TB HDD, along with around 400 gigs of games. I only want to move the one I play most (Warframe) to my SSD that I use as a boot/software drive, while still keeping Steam and all the other games on my HDD. What's the best way to go about doing this? Also, do I need to...

I'm getting a new SSD tomorrow (Micron RealSSD C400, it's an old but unopened model). What I need to know is should I attempt to clone my drive to it, or just back up my files to an external drive and do a fresh Windows 8.1 install? My concern for this method is that if I try to use my windows...

For pure gaming, Intel in general is overpriced. They simply can't compare to AMD's prices for the performance in gaming. I spent $80 on my CPU new, and I can run near everything maxed out. It really depends on what you're doing though, not enough info was given on that. Rendering and editing is...

I don't doubt you're right about mounting it, but the issue there is that the drive simply doesn't show up in disk management, so I can't do it. Could the problem be that I still have Windows 8 on the hard drive I'm trying to install and it's preventing me from seeing it on my normal one?

I currently use a 1TB WD Blue, and I have a slightly older Samsung 640GB laptop drive. I installed it in my desktop with all working cables, and it is on (I can feel it moving). But for some reason, nothing will detect it but the BIOS. There is no second drive in my file explorer or in Disk...

CPU is overkill for gaming really, but nothing wrong with that in particular, it will do great for editing and rendering stuff. Personally I would go with the 280X, ASUS makes better coolers than EVGA in my opinion. It will perform slightly worse than the 770, but you could stretch for a 290...

Paying that extra bit for high speed memory really isn't needed unless you're running an APU system or plan to do lots of rendering, video editing, etc. In gaming it will make literally almost no difference. If your main goal is gaming, you might like to get a mechanical keyboard as well. They...

My ram is already pretty low profile (no heat spreader, basically just 3 plain sticks, 2GB each). I think I will go with that Enermax, lots of good reviews.

I've been having this issue of not being able to detect my fan speeds for my CPU cooler, and I need to replace it anyway because when you're a gamer a stock cooler simply isn't good enough usually. (I hit 75C when I was running Crysis 2 maxed out on my 750K), and the cooler sometimes starts...

If you don't see fighting between us, you must be blind.

Somebody close this thread, at this point it really is just fighting. Everyone has different opinions, and some like to call those opinions facts. But it is a fact that this went too far.

I just said maybe go with something higher end, like from the AX line. Not CX.

"Covered in hundreds of reviews" When they make so many, there are bound to be junk ones. Happens plenty with graphics cards, but you don't see people hating on specific lineups. Thousands of people use CX, if not more. The ones who say they're bad just complain because they got a bad one...

I was just throwing a CPU out there, I did say that the motherboard is overkill, implying it should be changed. And no, Corsair makes some of the best PSUs out there. I personally use a CX500. There are better units in different series, sure, but there is a reason the CX500 and others in that...
