Thanks for the help. After spending some hours trying to fix it, I got it. I just hit the PAUSE BREAK key, then the PC showed a fast message and restarted. After it restarted, the screen was all black again, but that message that appeared made me want to try the jumper again and it worked. I...

Hi. I just updated my BIOS, when it restarted my screen was all black. Nothing appears. I tried thE CMOS jumper a lot of times, nothing happened. Also tried to use the CD Rom to make the mobo load the BIOS, but nothing happened. I also tried the USB Flashback, nothing happened. I press every...

There are a lot of options, can you tell me a good model or any will do good? http://www.waz.com.br/_produtos/?ord=1&ca=77496&f=SCYTHE&cn=9999&dsp=0

I found a store selling SCYTHE and NOCTUA, but no COUGAR. Noctua fans cost something like 25 U$ and SCYTHE 13-25 U$. I think I'll buy 4 fans, 2 to replace the stock fans, and then use push pull configuration. I see people saying that push pull is the best configuration, altough I don't know...

These are the components in the list she found. She also bought a WC Corsair H100. My mother will arrive here in this sunday. I think I'll buy the other components during the next week. Maybe next weekend I'll try to build it. One question about the H100, does it worth to buy 2 more fans and...

What my mother found and bought so far: -Sapphire OC Radeon HD 7970 -Intel i5 2500K -Sabertooth Z77 -PSU Corsair 1200 AX I don't think she will have time to search for the other components, so I guess I'll have to buy them here in Brazil. My questions are now: Is it too hard to build a PC...

Thanks. Changed the list. Let's hope she can find all these stuffs and bring it to me =D. I'm tired of playing BF3 on my PS3 and waiting for D3!

Thanks for the comments! CPU: I'll take out IB from my list Mobo: Does the last one already have wi fi or will I need to buy a wireless card/adaptor? Didn't find these mobos on Best Buy, better, didn't find any Z77 from Asus/Gigabyte. Memory: Any of them I guess will be OK, I've just put a...

The stores I suggested her to search these stuffs are: BestBuy, Fry’s, Micro Center, Outlet PC (Las Vegas) and Ma Labs. CPU: 1) Intel i5 3570K 2) Intel i5 2500K 3) Intel i7 2700K 4) Intel i7 2600K Mobo: 1) Asus P8Z77 WS 2) Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe 3) Asus SABERTOOTH Z77 4) GIGABYTE Z77X-UD5H-WB 5)...

Any more suggestions / comments? My mother is going to USA tomorrow, so I need to finish my list tonight. Thanks

I don't know how it works. BestBuy isn't selling IB Processors neither Z77 mobos? What about the GTX690, I guess it will be released while my mother is in USA.

Unfortunately I cannot buy from Newegg because I need and American Credit/Debit Card. I can't use Paypal neither International Credit Cards. I think she will have to buy from Best Buy stores, are there any good stores near her hotel in Los Angeles or in Las Vegas? Didn't find good stuffs being...

Any other suggestion for the SSD? They don't sell Mushkin at BestBuy, and I guess I'll stick to BestBuy, because Newegg didn't give me a return about the possibility of buying from here and picking up at their pick up store. Couldn't find it at Frys neither. I'll try to chat with a Newegg seller...

About SSDs, between Corsair Force GT and OCZ Vertex 3, which one is better?

Yes, she won't bring the case. As I don't know what will be the availability of the components, I'll be making a list with more than 1 option. From the most wanted to the less wanted in each component: Maybe I still change for IB generation. Processor: 1) Intel i5 2500K 2) Intel i7 2700k...
