So I couldn't play GW2 at full settings and have gotten advice that directed me to reinstall windows. If I'm going to do that, I may as well finally deal with this issue that I have been trying to forget about. This is a custom build. Motherboard: ASUS Z87-A. CPU: i5-4670k RAM: 8gb GPU: GTX...

Edit: I attempted the 'restore' function in windows and the process would get stuck at a low %-completion. I then deleted all my drive info and started over. I got rid of the D drive (from the picture), but the recovery and system partitions remain. I'm going to leave them partitioned. If...

Thanks for the response. I thought I needed to designate the disk as a primary partition because I saw it as one so often when I installed windows. The installation requires restarts and when I would see the 'click to load from disk' prompt I would load the disk over and over until I had...

Thanks for the walkthrough. I managed to get windows installed on my SSD after using some advanced tools from the installation process. I was trying to do a full install on a freshly partitioned disk every time I attempted after deleting the system partition. Hey, it was late and I haven't...

Can you give me some lines to type into command prompt? Edit: Googling it right now. Sorry, it's been a long night. Any help is much appreciated though.

I'm not having any problems with my computer right now, but I this is my first clean installation so I want to get everything right. Thanks for your help.

Or should I reinstall my GPU drivers? I feel dumb for not thinking about drivers, but I was just excited to have my own computer again and wanted to explore. Computer: Parts installed by retail store (0/10. mutilated my back panel. would not do again.) OS: Windows 8 GPU: EVGA MB: ASUS I...

I should have mentioned this in the initial post but it slipped my mind: I'm going to be using a 24" Asus at 1920 x 1080 resolution. Would the 7850 rig still max LoL out?

I presented the large budget because I was considering pre-built computers, and after looking at the HP computers and hearing from you guys I'm definitely building my own. I can't think of any reason why I would want to prepare for the future: warcraft 3 was my favorite game and league of...
