    Almost ready to order! ($1500 Gaming PC)

    If you can use those savings to squeeze in a 120GB SSD like a Samsung 840 I would highly reccomend it. It's a huge improvement and doing it during your initial build saves you the hassle of reinstalling your OS at a later date.

    Intermittent Internet connectivity problem

    Bump. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This still happens of every reboot. It takes 10 minutes of manually stop/ starting my LAN before it finally holds onto a solid connection. I don't know what else to try.

    Gtx670 crashing

    Monitoring with OSD I can see that my temps slowly rise to about 50c just before the crash, never higher. The odd thing is that according to the stats and confirmed by CPU-Z, my clock should be 980 with 1058 boost. But precision x shows it running at 1142 the entire time a cutscene is on. I am...
