Cool! I love that Osmium.... Don't get why I didn't get one. lol

Yeah it is a very awesome keyboard.

 

[g-unit1111]

Argh just got off the phone with the most irritating of telemarketers - the kind that try to sell you aftermarket toner cartridges (which 99.9% of are absolute junk and have destroyed many printers) and they tried to give me "incentives" and after I said "What's the catch" like five times I finally hung up because they gave me no answer and I couldn't take it anymore.

I should finally get my new PSU today so that's at least a good thing.

Lol, When that happens, I just make some weird voice and pretend to be an illiterate hillbilly. Haven't had a call in last couple of months. 😀

Usually I say something like "no hablo ingles" and that throws them off. But this one wouldn't shut up long enough for me to say that. :lol:

After rooting phone and messing with it, after 7 hours, battery has dropped 4 % rather than 15-20%. Whoopee.

 

[Pcbuilder123]

S4, right? I bet you underclocked, no? Anywho what model, I am about to root my friends but I have to unlock the bootloader by flashing an older firmware.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Nah, no underclocking, just a ton of verizon crap removed.

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Lol, nice.

Anyways, here is my friend's pc, opinions? He's ordering in the next 5 mins

btw i'm donating a 320gb 7200rpm hdd to him along with his ssd. Wanted to really make this thing fast.

So I finally got my new power supply and hooked it up but after hooking it up and powering the system up the light on my CPU cooler will power on, and then the whole system will immediately power off. I'm still stumped as to what the mystery can be. I'm going to e-mail Intel and Asrock tomorrow and see if they have any answers. Argh.

It could be something as stupid as the cable extensions or it could be something more complex like a blown ROM on the motherboard, this is something I haven't seen before.

So you have no way of testing the CPU or RAM in another system?

Already ordered?

I would have went with an i3+h97, PCI wireless network adapter, better PSU, and maybe a different case. The SPEC-01 series from Corsair are rather low end for their price and aren't spacious at all. A NZXT source 210 Elite or Corsair 200R would be much better options imo.

 

[g-unit1111]

No I don't unfortunately.

 

[Onus]

I agree with RazerZ. The tiny little USB wireless adapter will have a worthless antenna. With a discrete graphics card selected at the outset, an APU is probably not the best way to go.

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Ordering got delayed. That is, I'll take those suggestions. Rose will 500w gold?

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Also i3 or fx4300.

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Maybe a Pentium g3258

 

[Lutfij]

Seems like a good bang for buck sort of build if you're within a 500USD bracket...? Oh yeah the APU build would be good if you're going to run off the iGPU for a while like 6 months until you can sink some serious dough.

You could settle for a G3258 and pair it with a B75 phoenix itx mobo.

 

[RazerZ]

I would get an i3 4150 and use stock cooling to get the H97 motherboard. Also which 500W Gold+ Rosewill do you plan to buy?

He didn't have an APU in the build, he had an Athlon x4 760k and R9 270.

 

[Pcbuilder123]

yep, razerz is right. It's not an apu, just runs on the fm2+ socket. Ordering is soon, so here is the updated build.

Changed to a micro atx build, but I'm getting a r7 265 now, just can't add it to the wishlist since it's refurbrished.

[Pcbuilder123]

Also, probably getting a source 210 windowed off newegg

This one, maybe:http://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Certified-Power-Supply-CAPSTONE-450/dp/B006BCKDGW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416953989&sr=8-1&keywords=rosewill+capstone+450

Will update with pics when done

 

[RazerZ]

Ok. I could post a build, but would you mind also including what the total price came to?

 

[Lutfij]

I'd be interested in planning up a build too however there are a good number of questions to answer before I can recommend anything at any price point.

My next full build is going to be a long way out but I'm definitely going to be experimenting with low profile / Steam Box mATX or mITX builds on my next one.
