It's likely that you would see a small black component loosely connected to the motherboard by a wire. Most motherboards don't come with one. Your case may have been shipped with one. If not they are very cheap to purchase at your local computer store. Other then that, I'm not too sure what...

Hey isaiahtx7. I have a few quick suggestions. Try removing your GPU, plugging the HDMI into your motherboard output, and then starting the PC. The Intel 6600k has integrated graphics, meaning it can produce a display regardless if whether or not a discrete GPU is installed. It's unlikely that...

Do you have an 'internal' speaker connected to the motherboard? They are designed to enable the motherboard to output one or more beeps if there is a problem with a computer. The miniture speaker comes with most modern cases. If you do not have one, plug a pair of headphones into a headphone...

The hard drive you have installed is very likely be causing the issue. It could have an incompatible version of Windows on it, or a corrput Windows itself. It may also simply be damaged, itself. I would try adding it onto another computer as a secondary drive and clearing all of it's contents...

Is your computer liquid-cooled? If so it can also be the pump failing under load at higher RPMs. On the otherhand, it is likely to be your graphics card. Can we get some additonal information on what GPU you have? In the meantime, ensure that your drivers are up to date, and that your GPU is...

Hi Marcus! If you pursue with purchasing the parts outlined in your link, you shouldn't have to buy any aftermarket wires. The EVGA Supernova 650 G2 has the eight pin and six pin PCIE cables you will need to power the graphics card. It also comes equipped with two SATA cables; which is enough to...

As nostall said, an airflow fan would be preferable. Generally speaking, an airflow (AF) fan functions the best when mounted as an intake or exhaust. They are designed to provide the most airflow through an area that has little to no air-flow restriction. If you happen to be mounting a...

Hey PoshHobo. Yes, all of your components appear to be compatible. With that being said, I do see one factor that you may want to look consider. - Rather than purchasing a GTX 750, I'd recommend investing in a GTX 950. The 950 will last you fairly longer. It will also perform significantly...

Good decision. Wait until someone like EVGA, MSI or Asus releases their customized variants. It's likely that they will have much better temperatures than the founder editions' blower-style design. I would have done the same thing and returned the card if I smelt burning, or it was giving me as...

Yes, PCI-E 3.0 is backwards compatible with PCI-E 2.0. Assuming the new RX480 does not introduce a new variant of PCI that is not backwards compatible; which is very unlikely, then the new lineup of Polaris GPUs should be compatible with 2.0 slots. When it comes to performance, it is likely...

Hey Peter. Here's what I got! I'm going to factor out 4K from the situation solely because 4K monitors are costly and have a starting price of around $1000 US dollars. If you're not in a rush to purchase parts and build the computer, I'd reccomend waiting until the NVIDA GTX 1070 is made...

Hey Sam. Your build looks fine, however I do see some "hiccups". Rather than purchasing a GTX 750, I'd reccomend purchasing a GTX 950. The 950 will last you fairly longer. It will also perform significantly better whether you're gaming, editing, or watching videos. Additionally, the...

Hey Chhai! That's odd that your having problems with such a capable graphics card. Check your game settings. Does there seem to he any FPS limit? Some games have them automatically enabled based on your monitor specs. Also, check your graphics card driver settings. There could also be a preset...

Hey. What would your price range be? Also is 1440P gaming/recording also an option? I'll try to help you out once I know those two important things :)

Hey Darth. According to the Phanteks website, the Enthoo Pro M supports a 280mm radiator on both the top and front of the case (1). Both coolers run at similar noise levels. The H110i GTX and it's 140mm fans runs at 40dB(A) and the 120mm fans on the H100i GTX run 3dB(A) quieter (2). Since...
