If you want a silent PC as I do, consider: - Fractal design cases. Superb cases focusing highend hardware and sound dampening. - Noctua fans and CPU coolers. Or CPU closed loop liquid coolers (Corsair H80i p.e.). - Getting an AIO liquid cooling gpu? P.E...

Hi Matt! 1) I would go for this memory instead of the Corsair one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231914&cm_re=trident_z_16-_-20-231-914-_-Product Also cheaper. 2) Also this mobo over the ASUS one...

Hi everyone! I have built lots of computers for friends and family. But now, it is my time! hehe I am going to get a Fractal Design mid tower, and throw a EKWB Predator 360 AIO on it for CPU+GPU cooling. The 360 radiator will be mounted at the front, with 3x120mm fans intaking. If I do so...

Hi, As Novauke has just said, some things are just overpriced (RAM, mobo). Check the conf. i made for you --> http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/ZczVLk Rgrds

Hi! Well, Its obvious some processes are waiting you to connect the laptop to inet to party :P. My opinion: - Easy solution: format it and install win7 or linux. (backup your files first!) - Meh solution: check one by one every opened process!!! Edit1: I forgot! You can also...

Try this psu calculator. It gives you an estimated power requirement: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp In my opinion, i would get a 760 instead a 650. p.e. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-ax760

I'm sure the 280x will be able to handle ultra at 1080 for the next year titles. I think the cpu will handle them too (not totally sure of this point). If you are going to upgrade something, upgrade the cpu+mobo. I would suggest a 4670k p.e.! Edit. with the 4670x+280x, you won't have to upgrade...

I would try to go for a 280x instead the 280 one. MSI one has a good price, and the performance over the 280 is very noticeable. (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9280xgaming3g). Also, I would highly recommend you to try to get a win7 OEM license instead of buying win8. The rest is...
