    Problem with brand new build

    So I'm currently building a computer for my buddy, and when I finally pressed the power button the cpu, gpu, and case fans all spun up, and the lights on the mobo came on. However, it didn't post and I didn't get any sort of beep. I've been troubleshooting for about 3 hours now and cannot figure...

    GTX 960 4gb SLI or single R9 390x?

    So I am currently looking at upgrading my build and for the gpu I have about a $400 limit. So I'm currently looking at either two gtx 960 4gb SLI (I prefer nVidia) or a single R9 390x. I want to be able to run a few games at 4k, hence the 4gb 960s. I just haven't seen any benchmarks on sli for...

    My $500 Gaming PC

    I really would look at another mobo. And I would get a 260x 1gb too. It's a newer card, they're the same price, and the 260x out performs the 7770 by a little. Not to mention it's not as power hungry. But other than those two things, I'd say it's a good computer.

    MSI GTX 660 Gaming Reliability

    So about four or five months ago I bought the MSI GTX 660 gaming. Knowing this card is suppose to replace the twinfrozr III, I thought it would be just as good if not better. I knew full and well that it hadn't been reviewed very much, but I took a shot in the dark because I know MSI makes good...

    I Need a Case

    I went with the Rosewell Challenger case. Works good for my build, had 3 fans pre-installed and I bought an extra one.

    I Need a Case

    I've been looking around for quite some time now for a case. My budget is $40 - $60 including shipping. I don't mind installing fans, however I wouldn't be able to get a $60 case and then fans because it's over budget. I have an standard ATX mobo and a pretty big gpu, so it would have to be...

    Can the ASUS M5A97 SLI?

    Okay, so I know the ASUS M5A97 R.2 is a nice motherboard. I've bought it already just so you guys know. I was planning on getting a second MSI GTX 660 Gaming and SLIing, however looking at the motherboard, all it says is "CrossFireX ready." Will I still be able to SLI or is only crossfire for...

    Finalizing First Build ($1000 budget)

    Well your system is very well put together so far. However I would recommend a MSI 660 OC. The reason is because they perform the same if not better than the 270, you can record with shadowplay and get no fps drops, and it cost the same. Also, I know people like to know that they have plenty of...
