Building a new pc with a z97 hero mobo, i74790k, 850 evo ssd and gtx superclocked 970 and I was wondering what the best ram for this build would be? I was originally looking at 16gb tridents 2400 or 16gb ripjaws 2133 but recently read some things that said higher clock speeds tax the processor...

Correction: the 840 pro is simply an 840 pro not 840 evo pro

Doing a complete pc overhaul with an asus z97 Maximus hero vii and i74970k and wondering what ssd I should go with. Thinking price per performance between 512 840 evo pro and 500 850 evo? Pro is about 30 bucks more at 280. Also, what's a good 16gb ram config for that processor and mobo? Going to...

Just picked up a gtx 970 superclocked acx 2.0 to replace my dead gtx295 only to discover I had a bad power supply as well and upon replacing the power supply I discovered the x58 sli mobo is shot and at this point possibly my i7 920 too. So I've got brand new hefty 1000w supernova psu and gtx...

Also, the cpu is overclocked

That's what I was wondering as well. After experiencing bootup problems and unable to fix on my own I took it to a reputable local repair shop where they quicky identified the psu as being bad. They suggested I order a similar 1000w psu since my pc was running with one for 6 years. My pc has 6gb...

My previous psu was a 1000w turbocool that just gave out and I need to replace it. My question is what's a good one to get given...

I plugged my old video card back in and am able to boot to windows just fine using the same cables. The problem is that this old video card isn't being recognized by my computer and in turn, my pc suffers horrible performance and the weird lettering on bios start up.

system specs: i7 920 x58 evga sli mobo 6gb ram 1000 power supply My computer recently stopped recognizing my gtx 295 video card and upon starting up the bios looked like hieroglyphics so I decided to upgrade to an EVGA GTX 970 superclocked acx 2.0. After successfully removing the old hardware...
