    Strange HTML file in AppData

    In /C:/Users/(My Name)/AppData/Local/Temp there is a strange file called "start.html" that when opened, just opens up my web browser with a message that says "hallo". When I saw this, I got really scared and thought it was a RAT virus or something. Can someone help me figure out what this is and...

    How are Fractal Design's power supplies?

    For example, I was thinking about buying the Fractal Design Newton R3 1000W power supply, because it's a 1000W power supply at a pretty good price, so I was just wondering if Fractal Design's PSU's were any good.

    Disappointing FPS on GTX 660 Ti

    So I bought a 660 Ti last year, and when I first installed it it ran everything perfectly: constant 60 FPS on LoL, 60+ FPS on BF3, and so on. Now, I'm struggling to maintain my 60 FPS in LoL. For example, in a team fight, I'll be getting 45 FPS on high settings, but my GPU usage stays below 50%...

    Corsair 750D Cooling Questions

    Best full tower case?

    Alright, so I'm planning a build and I can't decide on a full tower case. I really like the simplistic, elegant look of the Corsair Obsidian 750D but I also like the NZXT Phantom 630. Which one should I get? Or should I get some other case?

    Can someone look this build over?

    I chose the Formula over the Extreme for the sexy-looking thermal armor and the Asus 780 because it matches the thermal armor quite well. I chose an 860W PSU because I might SLI the 780 in the future. However, this build isn't final because I'm waiting to see what the R290X brings to the table...

    Does this aesthetically-driven build look good?

    For this particular build, I focused on obtaining the best parts possible while still staying true to the white and black aesthetic I was going for. Any advice? Should I get some all-white fans and not just use the white colored ring around the Corsair fans? PCPartPicker part list / Price...
