I bought a new Gigabyte Windforce OC 970. Not the G1 Gaming Edition, in case anyone is confused. Anyway, ever since I got it, I've notice SLIGHT artifacts. Like, maybe once an hour, I will see a weird texture pop-in or an out of place flash. Sometimes, I'm not even sure I actually saw...

Long story short, I will be purchasing the components for a build I'm doing in the near future, but I can't quite afford the GPU that I want yet. Therefore, I'm thinking of just buying the everything else I need, and trying to function on a graphics card-less system for a month or two. My...

Question says it all... I have $500 to spend on my CPU and motherboard for my upcoming build. This build will primarily be for video editing, but I will be gaming on it a bit. I figure that isn't very important though, because a powerful editing CPU should be just fine for gaming, assuming I...

So last night I wiped W8.1 off my ssd and installed a fresh copy of W7 Ultimate 64-bit (I did so for software reasons, but that's beside the point). Anyway, when I went to bed last night, I had installed all the necessary drivers, gotten my internet running, and even played a game of Dota 2...
