The Concern for the PSU, while noble is probably not necessary but... probably... If you want a new PSU go for ANY Seasonic PSU, otherwise look at the reviews and they'll tell you if it's good or not. Rosewill, EVGA, Corsair, and Seasonic are the best guys out there...

I have this same issue but with Windows 7. It has worked before on this very PC but I feel as if I am missing some critical update for it. All help is welcome!

How about the limitations of PCI-E 1.0? I've read somewhere that it might be limiting my 660 (I noticed that it hadn't) and anyways, as for the CPU If anyone else wants to know, The Xeon E3 1231 V3 is the best alternative to an i5 you can make. If one doesn't OC you cannot go wrong. I...

My father is looking to upgrade my sibling's PCs to GTX 660s, I happen to own one and he is willing to buy it at full price ($120-150) as it is on Newegg. I need some helpful insight though... Lets assume +$50 for the 4GB version and similar improvement as the 760 2GB vs 4GB. In short for the...

The issue used to not occur. It has been fine on the Exact same OS, the exact same PC, The exact same installation of Windows! just... something somewhere is bad and causing this issue. I've been looking for specifically a direct draw driver if you could point me to one I would be grateful...

This is the error I get when trying to run Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns with a 1080p patch. Without the patch, the game runs until it freezes the PC. Before the freeze it is slow and sluggish. If I quit before the freeze, it is fine. The freeze usually occurs in a minute...

I know some of you may say that DDR5 is nonexistent and, does not exist for motherboards yet but The reason this question has arrived is such: The Zotac Amp! Extreme GTX 970 has 4 GB DDR5. Normal GTX 970s have GDDR5 and I'd like to know what the difference is. Amazon, PCPartipicker, Newegg, and...

Chromebooks in general are a stupid idea. If I wanted a low-end laptop I would buy a low-end Laptop. If I wanted to browse the web I would install Firefox on that Laptop and browse. If I want to use a touch screen I will touch the screen on my laptop. If I want to game, Intel HD Graphics are...

Thanks for the quick and speedy replies... for Humor I made a $200 build a while back and would like to share it. I also have $300, $400, $500, and $700 builds on my profile for PC Part Picker for those too lazy to build their own. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Weak1ings/saved/rXpQzy

A question I have is; Will these pitiful consoles finally push devs into making use of more than 4 GB of RAM? If so, I think that 16 GB will be reasonable. compare this to having 4 GB of RAM in 2005. As for the Hard drive I will change that asap.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think I will remain with 1x8GB due to the upgradability down the road. Kingston has yet to fail me in RAM and I doubt they would fail so soon.

Why get a 2x4 setup for RAM at the cost of not being able to upgrade to 16 GB? What is wrong with a server HDD that I should know?

I have assembled a part list for a friend who is looking into buying a non-laptop PC to get excellent performance at a budget and here is what I came up with; http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Weak1ings/saved/9Rqrxr The parts I chose are favorites from my favorite brands for the most part and...

The i3 is going to be a better chip, not only now but in the future. Here are my reasons; Lower TDP Upgrades on the 1150 socket... even Broadwell More program support (really, just look at DayZ AMD vs Intel CPU) Single-threaded performance Comparable multi-threaded performance USB 3.0 (AMD may...

Seeing as it's a temporary solution for a temporary problem I will say Good job! I wish I could have the same problem as you :) As for the temporary Ugliness... I think you could paint the Nylon parts ROG Red and it would look more like an asset :)
