So I am almost ready to order the parts for my second build (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Z6CkK8), but I have a few questions. First, I would like to know if the fx 6300 (not overclocked) would bottleneck the r9 380. The second question I have is if 600 watts is enough to power an overclocked gpu...

So I am not sure how to use the fan hub in my enthoo pro. It says to plug the connector into the CPU_Fan Header, then plug the sata cable into the power supply to use it in the manual, but I have my cooler master hyper 212 evo fan already plugged into the cpu fan header. I would like to know...

So I am a bit concerned about my CPU temps. I am using an I5 4690K @ 3.5 GHz (Stock Speed) with a CM Hyper 212 EVO, with Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound. While playing a high population server of H1Z1 on the ultra graphics setting, my CPU temperature stayed at around 52-55 degrees Celsius...

So I am just about ready to order the parts for my second build and would like opinions on it. Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FkGKQ7. I am mainly trying to achieve constant 60 fps on medium-high settings 1080p with the most demanding game I will play being Battlefield 4. I had to cheap out...

So I have a budget build in mind for my second build and I need to figure out what GPU to get. I doubt that AMD would be able to beat the efficiency of the 960, but the cards costing around the same price as the 960 ($200) may out perform it by a long shot. I am just really not sure if I...

So I am about to build my second computer and have gathered all of the parts except for the GPU (Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Wgzq8d). The cards I have come down to are the R9 370x, R9 380, and the GTX 960 (Waiting for the 300 series). The most demanding game that I will be playing will be...

So I have just come up with a build (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qRtMQ7) and have found an issue. The ASUS motherboard that I have chosen only has one chassis fan header, and I would like to have three 3 pin case fans, one exhaust, one on the side to cool the GPU, and one front intake. This...

I have recently acquired the Cooler Master Elite 130 case, and noticed my temperatures are a little high. I am using the stock fan setup, with both fans in taking, and have the power supply's fan facing up. My GPU is not blower-style, and I am using the Intel stock heat sink for my CPU cooler...

So I have all of the parts for my build (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qfM9YJ) so far except for the graphics card, and I can not decide between the two. The PC will be used for watching shows and movies and gaming, preferably medium to high settings. If I went the AMD route I would likely just...

So I have chosen all of the parts for my build so far except for the power supply (Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vwYk3C), but I have a few in mind. My first choice would be the EVGA G1 650w PSU, as it offers many more features than my second choice, the Corsair CX600m. My CPU can not be...
