    AMD R9 280X Graphics Windows 8 Screen Glitching - Recent

    The last bit advice I can give is make sure you have all updates and check your Graphics Drivers. If I remember correctly, after I installed new drivers, the screen glitch never happened again. Hope this helps!

    AMD R9 280X Graphics Windows 8 Screen Glitching - Recent

    If you use Windows Update to install any new updates with Graphics Drivers, CCC will not usually work. The only way I get it to work is to do a clean install of a new CCC and drivers (which usually come included in one package). I am sorry to hear that my advice didn't help. Are you running dual...

    $1300 Dollar Gaming PC

    1300 Gaming Rig Advice and Tips

    1300 Gaming Rig Advice and Tips

    I noticed a couple changes you made to my setup. Are the Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI ATX LGA1150 Motherboard and the Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO ATX LGA1150 Motherboard comparable? I have read great things about the Asus Maximus. Would the i7 prove to be that much better of an upgrade?
