Question Gaming PC Build

I don't live near a Microcenter, Louisssss. I was just going to order the parts online. That looks pretty close to what I was thinking, Campy. I'm digging that case too. Looks like a great design. Thanks!

Question Gaming PC Build

Hey guys. Long time no see, but I always come back here for the best advise when it comes to up-to-date advancements and price point buying. I'm helping out a friend with a gaming PC build. The build I got last time has lasted me for years now, so I'm not as current as I would like to be and...

Looking for a decent laptop

Well, this has been up for a couple days now and the consensus seems to be that I'm asking for too much. That's fine, but I could've used a little bit more of an idea of what types of things I should be looking for in a laptop. That way, I could make a more informed decision on what I could...

Looking for a decent laptop

I considered going with a straight laptop, but I plan on taking my notes on it as well (I've actually been using my Note 5 for that purpose right now), so the tablet functionality is something that I will get a lot of use out of. I found this one on Amazon...

Looking for a decent laptop

If I'm willing to sacrifice some of the battery life, will that open up my options some more? I said 4 hours because I don't want to be tethered to the wall whenever I'm doing homework or between classes, but I'm willing to sacrifice some of that if it helps. Thanks. I'll definitely look...

So that's it then? Unless I want to drop $1k, I'm screwed? That is not all that helpful of advice.

Looking for a decent laptop

I'm coming to the experts (you guys) for this because I'm not up-to-date when it comes to laptops and specs. Learning all the different laptop processors and then the differences between laptop processors vs desktop processors and their respective boards is just something that is beyond me at...

Odd freezing issue

Just wanted to let you guys know that this situation has been solved, though I'm not entirely sure which part fixed it or if it was a combination of both! I did some more research and I finally found a thread that was having similar issues as I was. Their issue was the middle mouse button...

Odd freezing issue

Okay guys, I'm at my wits end with this one, so I was hoping someone here could help me figure this one out. First up, my specs. I have: MSI Z77A-g41 motherboard i5 3570 16 gb RAM GeForce GTX 770 Antec 750W PSU And 3, relatively old HHDs (which is where I'm starting to suspect the...

Modular PSU to go with my GTX 770

So I just bought a new Zoltac GTX 770. I went to install it when I realized that my PSU is old enough that it doesn't have an 8 pin PCI-e! Rather than just pick up an adapter, I decided that it's time to upgrade my PSU. The one I have would just barely work for the 770 as is and it's not...

budget build for a friend

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mfenn and thanks for the link to the wireless card! That looks to be almost exactly what I was looking for and the price is pretty good too!

budget build for a friend

Good point. I need to ask him about his options as far as OS goes. If he has a copy, great, but if not, I'm going to have to add that in. Also, I'll have to see what I can do about the SSD. Thanks for the advice!

budget build for a friend

I'm building a budget build for a friend and I'd like everyone's feedback on what they think of the system so far. I'm trying to keep the entire thing well under $1K (this includes monitor and stuff as this will be his first desktop). He doesn't game much (Starcraft 2 and League of Legends are...

Attention Mid-Range System Builders - Updated 08/01/2015

I noticed this Sapphire for AR $185 and I was curious whether it's a decent switch. The PowerColor just seems like a bit pricey for a budget build. I know you don't really want to skimp on your GPU, but would this be a viable card yet? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102999

Monitor Menu Problem

Pressing the menu button does typically make it go away, but it just pops right back up again. Thanks for the advice guys. I think I'll give it a shot and see if I can't fix it. As Vectronic said, if I break it, I break it. It's not like I absolutely need it right now. :)
