Hey guys, building my first pc and I have purchased everything except for the gpu. I plan on assembling everything so all I have to do to finish is install gpu when I get i. But I was wondering if I could go ahead and boot everything and install the OS without it? I know you can do that on some...

There is a combo for the fx-6350 with the mobo I'm getting (gigabyte ga 970 ud3p) and essentially the combo would be around ten dollars more expensive then buying a fx-6300 and mobo seperately. I like to imagine that the 10 dollars is negligible due to the fact that I won't need a hyper 212 evo...

http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/107-source-220-case this is the case I have, just the window version, can't find links with pictures of it. It came with a rear exhaust fan and two intake fans on the bottom front. Will I need extra fans, or need to move them around, or will this be...

^ this guy knows whats up. pretty standard solid build, and if you have the money, do it...you could save money just getting a r9 270 and ocing it. here's my attempt http://pcpartpicker.com/user/dhogan34/saved/#savedbuild_1341725 Type|Item|Price :----|:----|:---- **CPU** | [AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz...

figured it out. must not have tightened a screw somewhere as the corner where its at is a bit loose. using some tongs to apply pressure stopped the whirring completely. will just need to go in and retighten everything. Thanks though!

So i did a much needed total overhaul on my laptop (hp pavillion g7-1219wm) today, it's been so slow lately. downloaded cpuid -cpu-z and saw I was only getting .8 ghz when stressed! fan has been broken for awhile as well, and i got core temp, and saw I've been running it on average 98* C. so I...

yea, the case actually has a deal with the ram. saves 10 bucks when u buy the g skill with it, so that got rid of any hesitation on that. thanks guys!

just realized its 1333. probably gonna be a pass on that right

so originally I had planned on getting this ram and a budget case in the $30 range for my $500/600 build. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231718 g skill ripjaws x series 1600 however, I was looking at cases and saw this combo for 60 after rebates...

So I'm trying to put together a budget build (450-600) mainly for some gaming and browsing, but that will last a few years and this is what I have so far. [PCPartPicker part list](http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bFnGbv) **CPU** | [AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor] **CPU Cooler** | [Cooler...

get a gtx 760 (250) or wait for the 7950 to drop back down in price. also, are you overclocking your cpu right now?

how does a msi r9 270 gaming edition sound? it looks like the best one for 179, any of the ones at 189 and I might as well just get a gigabyte 270x for 199, right?

Hmm, I hadn't even looked at the 270....f I was to oc the 270, would I need to have extra fans in my case or will the stock fans be enough? also will wattage still be in correct range?
