Well, I did absolutely nothing different, but this time it went through. Sorry I cant come up with a solid Solution...

Bought a 1TB WD-B HDD and it was working well, I already head a 500GB Drive so I just used the TB as Space. My 500GB started acting up, so I cloned it over to my TB. That didn't work too well, so I just reformatted it and have been making do with my 500gb. I want to try and Clone it again...

Recently bought the NZXT Phantom 530 and it has a fan hub on the back. None of my fans are getting any power from this hub. I've looked already trying to find someone who had a similar problem but cant seem to find anything. I know the 3 pin port at the tob of the hub is for power. I trace...

If you still want a new GPU after upgrading a CPU I'd go with the GTX 970. The price to performance ratio is pretty nuts. Nothing but good reviews that I've seen also. Good luck!

I appreciate all the help guys, thanks again for your suggestions. Also thanks bignastyid for suggesting a better PSU fo the build!

Hey guys, just wanted to run my build through all of you and see if I'm messing up anything obvious. This will be my first major personal build (for gaming). Just curious if there are any upgrades or changes I can make that will have a drastic change...

I have a 550w PSU RazerZ, and thanks iamlegend! I'll take a look at that now! :)

Hi everyone! I'll be quick and to the point with this post. I have a $400 budget, and need a CPU, Motherboard, RAM, and GPU! I'd love for these to be as good as possible for a gaming machine. I have the rest of the components needed, I'm just stuck at where to even begin to look as to what I...
