The PC will only be used for editing and storing photos in LR/PS. No gaming. This is a hobby for me, where I’m willing to spend money on.

I'm running a 1440p monitor from a laptop (I don't have the computer built yet, but I wanted to test the monitor) that uses 900p. However, the maximum resolution I can get the monitor to use is 1080p. I'm using HDMI, so the resolution should be able to reach 1440p. How do I do that? Thanks

Once more, pls. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/XFmvXL Motherboard may be uneccessarily overkill.

I have tried every compatibility setting available, and I've tried editing the options.ini file to get the game to function. It simply loads the splash screen and the hangs, seemingly indefinitely (15 minutes+) I love the game but am unable to get it to run, it didn't work on Windows 8.1 x64...

My PC keeps Crashing to blackscreen (as if the screen gets no input), or it freezes and is stuck in the frame it was displaying. The fans don't get louder, the air from the vents is cold, the tower is cold, the hard drive makes no strange noises, the screen isn't the culprit either, It might be...

Hey guys, For some reason my computer keeps crashing when I play games. I had a 7870 and assumed that was the issue so I swapped it for a gtx 970. For 2 days now it was working great no crashes but now today it started happening again. I'll just be playing for like 2 minutes now and it just...
