I was browsing Amazon today when a popup...well, popped up...that I've never seen before. Is it part of Amazon or what? I ran Malwarebytes and my antivirus (Avira) and both said I'm clean. I have uploaded a screen shot of it to explain what I mean. Specifically it's the banner at the top that...

The purpose of the build? Gaming and some video editing of my gameplay.

Yeah Noctua wins NO prizes for style...I'll look for another. EDIT: Check now. That is the sickest cpu cooler I have ever seen.

Hey, just wanna double check with all you more knowledgeable folks as to whether my choices are good or not. (Note: I already have a HDD so that's why it's not in the list). BAM

7-10% increase in FPS doesn't seem worth $300. Thank you, naturesninja.

Hm, so I should just stick with what I have?

I want to upgrade my CPU, but I need to make sure that it'll be compatible and that it would give me a performance boost. Here's my current rig: MSI Z97 G45 Gaming Corsair H100i cpu cooler i5-4690 @ 3.50Ghz 16Gb G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1600 2 Asus STRIX GTX980 in SLI Samsung 250Gb SSD for OS and...

I don't have that option. The drop-down menu isn't there.
