    Budget GPU deciding factor?

    what's your resolution? that card is not going to give you 60fps in high/ultra in games as intensive as watchdogs if you're playing on a 1080p monitor. you need a gtx770 or 280x to get into that caliber graphics. 1gb gddr5 is plenty for entry level cards. 2gb is enough for midrange, and 3gb...

    Upgrading My PC, Looking For Compatibility Issues

    i dont think OC'n your CPU is going to help much in most situations... as you're not going to be CPU limited with just a 650ti or 760 in most games. if you're on a budget, the hyper 212 evo will give you adequate cooling at 4.0ghz Theres no value in upgrading your motherboard. you gain no...

    First time build problems. Help!

    you should go to your motherboard webpage and download all the mobo drivers, chipset drivers, nic/usb3, etc etc. also, are you plugging your monitor into the mobo or the GPU? if you have ANY monitor (even a secondary) plugged into the mobo, then it's defaulting to the chipset video instead of...

    is this a good build

    the CPU is overkill for general work computer... a quad core with 8gb of RAM is fine. if you only plan on doing occasional gaming, a $100 gpu is probably not necessaary. you'd be a good candidate for the amd A10 series... where you get a solid CPU with a pretty decent onboard gpu build in...

    Which SSD would you buy? Samsung 840 EVO 250GB vs Samsung 840 Series Pro 128GB

    in the real world... there will be little to no difference in performance. in theory the pro should last longer, but it's only in theory. we're talking 10 years vs 7 years? I'd say before either dies, we're going to be buying 5tb SSDs for $100, so who really cares. lol i'd take the evo...

    Poor performance on new custom build

    ya... you're currently using the CPU's onboard video if you have anythign connected to the mobo. and of course, the onboard video is crap compared to the 760

    My wireless symbol shows a red x and will not connect to the internet

    does your laptop have a slider button on the side to instantly disable the wireless? Dell's often do on teh right side. also, some have hotkey buttons to disable wireless... maybe Function+F4 or F6. either one people sometimes accidently hit to disable and run into this issue

    Custom Built PC Won't POST With Graphics Card Installed, But It Would When Graphics Card Removed

    b.t.w.... no reason for the 4gb version of the 770.. unless you 're goin to SLI (which I presume not b/c the power supply is not enough) if you ever got to the point of using more than 2gb vram, the 770 doesnt have enough power to sustain playable FPS anyway. like watchdogs on ultra, would use...

    Custom Built PC Won't POST With Graphics Card Installed, But It Would When Graphics Card Removed

    so your pluggin the monitor into the video card right? when you removed the GPU< you plugged the monitor into the onboard video on the motherboard and it worked. if this is so... two begging messups usually occur. 1) did you plug the power supply into the video card? people often miss this...

    which gtx 770 is better

    whichever has the highest out of box clocks is technically teh 'fastest' - if you dont plan to manually overclock. generally ASUS and EVGA are the two most trusted brands out of the 4 listed... as far as quality

    Choosing the best motherboard

    I bought the Asrock Fatality killer z97 board for $99.99 after rebate few months ago... it has all the overclocking features you'd need.

    GTX 770 with 500W PSU

    the cx is not generally considered very high quality... the 770 would be very hard on that PSU. the 760 is safer bet

    Is this A good Custom PC for gaming. Max Budget 3500$ Looking to Game and Record at high FPS!

    they're charging $140 for windows 7 pro these days? that's crazy. lol i'd check out some reviews on gaming at 4k and what is required to play on ultra. it's pretty brutal. you'd get more bang for your buck running two superclocked 770 4gb cards which would cost about the same price as a...
