Thank you all for your help! Danny, the issue was the same as yours. The problem started when I installed a new PCI wireless network card. and installed the drivers and utility. It was the TP-Link wireless configuration utility that was grabbing my attention. I closed it and now my windows...

I don't think the problem is with my keyboard. I don't have another keyboard but I used my computer for about an hour with the keyboard unplugged and the issue was still there. I also don't think there is another application competing for my attention. I looked carefully at my task manager...

Hi all, First thank you ahead of time for your help with this issue. I just built my first computer last week. After I installed the Windows 7 and configured it and installed all the necessary drivers everything was working great. It was first the second or third boot that I started having...

Thats right I meant to write i5-3450. Asrock gen 3 might be a good way to go. it is a bit cheaper too. In terms of power consumption, does an micro ATX consume more power. Because as I said I want as little power consumption as possible. Are there other means to reduce power consumptions...

I'm looking to build a general use computer (photo editing, surfing the web, and some gaming). My concerns are longevity of the system as well as overall power consumption. I'm also interested in gaming and would like to be able to play future games, at least at low setting. Here is more detail...

I think I will have to go with the H61 Mobo to fit in my budget. I also downgraded the GPU to a 6870.

In regards to Micro ATX: So you would highly recommend going with a normal full size ATX board. SSD Catching: Does that mean I would need a SSD for Catching and one as boot drive? Or would 64 GB be enough for both jobs.

Thanks again for your help. That new build looks perfect and a much better value:cost ratio then the one i had first posted. Just out of curiosity, what is the advantage of the z68 chipset of the extreme3 mobo? Also, I was thinking of going with a micro ATX. In your experience what are some...

Thanks a lot for your input. I do like that build a lot and seems like it would deliver everything I could ever need. However, even with the 7850 it's beyond what I can afford. I'm looking at a budget of no more then $1000 including Monitor and Keyboard and this build, including monitor and...

This is my first time building a PC. And after much research this is what I came up with. I simply wanted some input from the fine minds on this forum. Approximate Purchase Date: By the End of the month (April 30th ish) Budget Range: $500 to $1000 including monitor and keyboard/mouse (after...
