Also, I already have this graphics card at home and it's too late to RMA it because I was hoping it would work with the stock MoBo in this computer. Would it be fine enough to use for a while to play something like FFXIV? It's better than the current one, but I'm not sure how much better or if...

Ohh, good call on that. I changed it to the MSI GTX 750Ti. Thanks!! :) So, now that I have the components all ironed out I gotta see if the case has the windows key sticker that comes with most OEM installs (probably not after the MoBo issues with Acer) or take a look at the windows recovery...

I found this MoBo on Newegg, should work with the CPU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293 Seems that same graphics card will fit according to pcpartspicker. Here is what I have so far without busting into the case to get specific model numbers for the hard drive...

In picking out a motherboard with the LGA1155 socket, what chipset is best or does that depend on other components in the computer? I assume Z77 is the best to run with. Also, is max RAM limited by the CPU or by the MoBo itself? Thanks!

Hmm, that socket information on the CPU has changed things significantly. It seems that the only MoBo Microcenter lists for that socket is this guy: http://www.microcenter.com/product/445980/H61M-P31-W8_LGA_1155_ATX_Intel_Motherboard And it is highly likely that it won't be found easily. I...

The PSU is an upgrade I want to make later down the line on this machine, especially if we continue to upgrade it instead of building a new one. There will be no more prebuild PCs in our house! I think the hardware in the Predator I got him is pretty good and stable for a while to come, just...

Thanks for the info on the socket for the CPU, I didn't know that was an issue. I just searched the MicroCenter website for motherboards that met the specs and selected i7 for my processor. I will look into that further, and alter my component choices accordingly. The PSU in the case is a...

The system is an Acer Predator AG3620-UR20P Desktop. The specs from the site are: 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3770 processor(8MB Total Cache, Up to 3.9GHz) with Turbo Boost Technology Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 2TB SATA Hard Drive 12GB DDR3 Memory NVIDIA® GeForce® GT630 Graphicswith 2GB...

So I will be putting a new motherboard and graphics card in hubby's Acer Predator "gaming" PC running Windows 7 since the factory motherboard doesn't allow graphics card swaps and the graphics card they have in there is OK but not quite good enough for FFXIV: Heavensward when it launches next...

Thanks so much, drtweak! Do you have a program or two that you can suggest that we can download and use to read this external HDD? I have read some things about programs corrupting the data many times, and I would like to know what is out there that has been tried and tested somewhat. This...

Good day to everyone! We are using a NAS at my workplace (QNAP TS470 Pro) as a CAD and document server. The NAS has four internal hard drives, each at 3TB. We have set up HDD 1 and 2 as RAID1 for the main activity and HDD 3 and 4 as RAID1 for the backup which is run each and every night. The...
