    Irritating issue with Windows 8.1

    This is a really small issue, but it annoys the heck out of me. My WiFi notification on the taskbar displays "Limited" all the time, even though I do have internet connection. Any fixes for this issue? Thanks Using Windows 8.1

    Advice for possible upgrades

    I will definitely OC the FX-6300. On the topic of OC'ing, how would my performance look if I OC'd the 280X? I'd prefer not to spend money when its avoidable, of course. I might need a new motherboard ... :P

    Moving an HDD's contents (including OS)

    Macrium Reflect works perfectly. I accidentally set the new 2TB to the same capacity as my 250gb HDD, but that was easily fixed, and after a second do-over, I'm happy to announce that everything is working, Thanks for the help, everyone! ^^
