Hey! I saw this guy's CraigsList ad, and I offered him my Alienware Alpha ASM100-1580 for his PC. Here's the link to his Old i7 PC. My Alienware Alpha is just the base edition: i3-4150t, 4GB Ram, GTX 860m OC, 500 GB hdd. His PC is: i7 930 2.9GHZ Quad Core (w/ Hyperthreading, can overclock to...

First off, since your CPU is non-K version, I dont see a reason to go with z97, z-series is specifically for overclocking Haswell refresh CPUs. H97 is the choice for you, it is a rebranded h87 specifically made for Haswell refresh CPUs. Just watch out for some Asrock and MSI motherboards because...

I only have 500$ budget and I want to build from scratch. I am thinking of either buying a high end cpu and mid end gpu then upgrade the gpu (no sli) OR buy a mid end cpu and high end gpu then upgrade the cpu. I am honestly thinking that sli is not right for me because I wont use many screens...

Can anybody suggest any? My uses for it will be: 1. School works 2. Gaming (2008-2011 games, preferably in high settings, and 2012-present games even in low-medium)

The only problem with #1 is that sometimes, I really can't find good sources of programs that I need in the present... Anyways, I never crack games, because I don't even know how, lol... Where can I find msconfig? My PC has always been idle for a while now, but it never defrags my scattered...

I am the type of person who doesn't usually upgrade system units, I only upgrade mine for like every 5 years, so I think m-atx is the best fit for me. Even though using atx gives more flexibility in parts only for a small increase in space, I am not the type of person who uses liquid cooling...

You might have misunderstood me, what I was asking was if it was good idea to have these brands because they are of good quality? IDK, but most people say that these brands are the best for each categories.

Bro, FX is no good. Never buy an FX. Just get an Intel processor instead of crappy yet expensive FX's... They have low efficiency in single-core tasks.

If you will use a computer in work too, I suggest getting a laptop. If you will just play games in a room/house, then get a PC. If you really just want to play WoW forever, then get a Mini ATX, as you won't need to upgrade your system. If you might want to play some newer games, I suggest...

I have no exact knowledge what a traveling nurse is, but in the context, I think you are a nurse who travels a lot. I think you should go with a laptop, with the upside of carrying it wherever you want. Since WoW is not that demanding, I think your laptop will not cost a lot. And one more thing...

Whatever you do, just a tip: Don't buy Alienware or Razer, as you will have to pay for the brand. I recommend getting an MSi or a Samsung laptop, as those are always good, some are light, and most are durable in terms of hardware, paint, and software.

Is it actually a good idea to have my case, memory, cooling, and PSU with corsair brand and my motherboard, and GPU with MSi? Then my ODD and monitor with samsung?

Hello, I am currently planning for a rig. And I can't find a very good motherboard. I will be socketing in a 1150 (if I am right, this is the one that is compatible with i5-4 gen)... Can you recommend a nice motherboard that can do good? I will use it for gaming, educational purposes, and...
