    [SOLVED] New ASUS MB gets RGB lights but no other power

    Thank you CountMike. I had went that route and nothing was successful. Today I went ahead and bought a new power supply and everything seems good now. No idea why a power supply would go bad just from switching between cases. I mean.. they don't... but I just can't figure it out otherwise...

    [SOLVED] Memory compatibility

    Thank you Keith! Yea, I did check that list and didn't see it either but like you, I saw other kits listed that were pretty close. That said, I also know sometimes one different digit in a part number can mean a whole lot, so I didn't want to assume anything. As for the DOCP, I will look into...

    What ssd do I need

People have recommended the Samsung 840 EVO, which is a fine SSD, but don't forget to apply the patch that was just released. That drive...

    Choosing an OS

    Thanks both of you. I think the interface, while I wasn't a fan of the original Win8, is still something I can get used to. If there have been performance improvements like I have read about, then it interests me. But other things I've read, like the numerous people who had mouse...
