    Should I trade my MSI geforce GTX 970 for an ASUS GTX 770 direct CU II?

    I am selling my computer anyway, and he is offering me his used ASUS GTX 770 and some cash for my MSI GeForce GTX 970. It sounds like a good deal, I would still have a whole computer to sell in the end, but his GPU has been used for almost a year and mine is brand new..... Would the GPU lower...

    What should I sell this new build I made for?

    http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NtY4mG So, I just built this new pc, I have some warrantees on a few of the parts and I want to sell it. Is it possible that I could make a profit off of this? There's no humble way to say it, but I would like to make a bit more than I put in. Oh, and all of the drivers...

    Why can't I sell my new pc build for more than I payed for it?

    So I finished building my pc, and I would like to sell it for a little more to make a profit. I did the service of putting it together and making sure everything worked properly, but I was told not to sell it for more. Why can't I? Or can I?

    How can I get my windows activated?

    So, I made a sort of bad decision, by buying windows 8 off eBay. I entered the product key and it says that it is already being used on another computer. What do I do? Is there a way that I can buy JUST a product key? Or is there a way I can fix this?

    Why won't my onboard ethernet connect to my router?

    Just finished my computer build, and installed windows 8.1. I have a MSI Gaming 3 intel z97 motherboard, and It says it can't find any network, and won't let me connect to anything. How do I make it work? Is it not wireless or something? Do I need to buy something?

    What is a bootable windows?

    I found and OS for $15. It says re-install or install windows, but it says that it's a "bootable windows." I just want to know if it really doesn't mean anything, or I should not get it. Need it for my computer build, which I am almost done with. It is also on an 8gb USB.

    Is newegg a reliable site? Should I buy from them?

    Just wondering, because I see good reviews, and I see bad reviews.... I've already ordered a few things from them, and it all came in great. I'm worried about buying my GPU from them though. I'm buying a $350 GTX 970.

    How can I lower the price of this computer build?

    http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hLRM23 I already have an i5-4690k processor. Is there a way I can lower the price of this build without losing performance. I am a teenager, and I have $974. It's hard for me to make money, and I really want this pc. I just need to lower it enough so I can fit in $50...
