About how long of a card can I get with a mirco-ATX case? Could I get this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8573340&CatId=7387 Thanks Tim4tech

Well, I was an idiot and picked it up by its heatsink... *facepalm*

Hey guys, My heatsink fell off of my cpu, do I need to reapply thermal paste? Thanks

Hey forum!!!! I can't decide whether to get 2 XFX 7770 GHZ Editions and overclock in crossfire or get one 280X. The 280X would be more expensive but would it be worth the performance boost to get it?

What is your processor? It should support it.

Hey guys!!!! I just got my Core-I7 4770K and it's stock heatsink had gray stuff all over the bottom of it. Is that thermal paste? Thanks, Tim4tech

For under 200$: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8521704&Sku=JIE-101770861 For under 100$: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7847465&Sku=A271-7771 It would be best to get the more expensive model because it is...

Any high resolution anything is going to need more memory. Therefore I recommend getting the 760 with the 4GB of RAM. It won't be as good at gaming but it will do your 4K video editing a huge favor. Hope this helps. :) Tim4tech

I would personally choose the second build. However, I would upgrade the PSU to 750 Watts at least. While you may barely scrape by using 650 right now, if you upgrade then you will need more power. One thing you could do to keep things at a low price point would be to use a 120 GB SSD instead of...

Hope I helped. :)

It looks like the only difference is a 30Mhz clock speed boost. I looked up some benchmarks and it appears that the R9 is actually faster than the GTX 770 at higher resolutions and minutely slower than the GTX 770 at 1080P so I would save your money and go for the cheapest ASUS on that website.

It shouldn't, It is a fairly new card so should have good support and everything. I don't know if it will last you for 3-4 years though. Tim4tech

There is not a whole lot of difference other then between the design. I personally would go with the ASUS because that is a more trusted and widespread brand. However, I will leave that up to you. On the SSD, the only essential thing is that you get one. :P I myself have the Samsung 840 and it...

It says it only uses 35 Watts.
