Okay so lately my PC has been crashing daily. It crashes like once every day, and it blue screens every time. It reads all the blue coding, and does the memory dump or whatever then restarts back up and is just fine for the rest of the day. But it is getting very annoying.
So here is what...

Just wanted to see what others thought. I won't be purchasing for a while, so may (and probably will, can anyone say AMD 8000 series? :D) change by the time I get it. Gaming oriented, this thing should perform noticeably. May add a LED strip or cold cathode kit to spice it up a little. Going to...
