    Default Speakers Don't Work in Select Games/Apps (WMP / VLC / DA:I / ETC)

    Is this a problem with both monitors or just the one with the DVI>HDMI?

    What PSU would I need for my build/ do all on my components work together?

    http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750bbefx Cheaper than other suggestions after rebate. Great build quality, and overkill wattage wise but it will work great. 80+ gold wont hurt either. Single rail PSU.

    gtx 970 or 980 with some scrafice

    Thanks for the advice. The ram is actually for photoshop and content creation, photoshop can be a resource hog. It can use over 100gb just in the scratch disk so more ram is always welcome when working with large files that have multiple high res layers and multiple files open at once. Yeah the...

    gtx 970 or 980 with some scrafice

    Final question concerning my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2FBF3C Things marked as purchased I have. Things just marked down to zero without '(purchased)' are things I would have to sacrifice to fit in a GTX 980 at my price point. For HDDs I currently have two laptop 500gb drives from a...

    How much air intake-exhaust do i need for my pc?

    Well then stick with your noctua cooler. You're not gonna get anything better at the price of your current cooler. R4 232mm x 464mm x 523mm R5 462mm x 232mm x 531mm Really isn't bigger, but its not a worthy upgrade. I wouldn't have suggested it if I knew you had the r4 already purchased.

    How much air intake-exhaust do i need for my pc?

    Go for the define r5, it has better airflow and keeps it cooler than the r4. If you want to overclock I suggest the phanteks ph-tc14pe (massive cooler and reasonably priced if you get blue/red or uncolored) or the NH-d14/15 (a bit more costly.) If you wont overclock your temps will be just fine...

    Can't choose a case!

    I do really like the 450d but it's not up to the obsidean series standard of quality from what I could tell. I like the 450d for features but I think the arc midi r2 has a higher build quality. If the time comes and I havnt found anything better I'll definitely go with the 450 for those extra...

    Can't choose a case!

    Right now I'm thinking between the Corsair 450d and fractal arc midi r2. I need an ATX case, mid tower preferably, but a non-massive full tower would work too. I want primarily 140mm fans used in the case, and 2 top mountable fans and 2 intake fans. Must have at least one 5.25 inch drive bay and...
