Hey guys just checking back in. I was able to activate windows 10 with a windows 8 pro retail key. I just followed the clean install instructions that darkbreeze linked above. The way it worked for me was to choose to activate windows later while installing it then after the installation...

Thank's for taking the time to answer guys! and thank you darkbreeze for the links. Once i get the parts, i'll report back if anything strange happens.

I'm upgrading my PC this week with a new processor, motherboard and ssd. How would I go about installing windows 10 to the ssd? From searching I understand that you can just install windows 8 then upgrade again to windows 10. My question is how does that work exactly? Do I have to deactivate...

Alright. Thanks for taking the time to answer. I got the PSU just last year so its not as old as the rest of my parts. EDIT: I found a Fire Strike result that's using a Zotac 970 and a P7H55-M so I guess that's proof its compatible right?

Hey guys, I'm planning to get the 970 Jetstream tomorrow but the pc I have right now is quite dated. I'm upgrading from the GTS 250. Before I buy the card I just want to make sure that I won't be wasting money with compatibility issues. Here is my Build right now: CPU: Intel Core i5-760 2.8GHz...

Okay I see, I'll look for what's cheaper here then. Thanks for the replies so far! I'm getting really pumped to build this PC. :mdr:

That seems like a good idea. I might just do that, but first i have to find a gtx 970 here haha. Hopefully by December the 970s will get to the Philippines.

Thanks! I'll check around the stores here to see if they have these in stock. Hopefully they have at least one of these here. Any other recommendations and comments are still welcomed of course. :D

I was planning to go for a 4690K i just haven't seen one in stores here. But if i find one I will definitely get that one. Hmm.. Good point I'll consider getting a 1TB instead with an ssd. As with brand though, would Seagate be better than WD? I've seen some articles that Segates are more prone...

Hey guys, I'm looking to build a new PC hopefully by December and I would appreciate some input on the parts I've chosen. Well it's more of a whole PC upgrade because my previous build has become quite old and can't keep up with the games I play and the games that were recently released (eg...

Ohh I see :) thanks again :D

Okay i'll look for that :D thanks :) oh but the fans look quite heavy? won't they break the mobo or something? some of the fans I've seen look quite big.

Oh no :( okay thanks :) what are the brands i should look for when i get an aftermarket cooler? :) My load temps are at 70-85C :(

Hey guys my Lynnfield i5 idle temp is at 57-61C is that a cause for worry? The room temp is at around 33-35C in the afternoon. And my case has 5 fans but it doesn't seem to keep my cpu temp down? btw im using the stock intel fan for my cpu. Should i get an aftermarket cooler instead? :)
