Corsair has been sliding in the PSU department, so as much as I love my HX520, I can't recommend their current offerings. Seasonic, or anything...
Uh, not to come across sarcastically, but have you tried changing the date? Most BIOS's navigate with the arrow keys and +/- ones.
I concur. That and RAM are probably the biggest concerns here. A socket 1150-based Haswell might be the ticket, but if you need more than a...
What parts (aside from the motherboard) are you pairing with the CPU and what do you plan to do with the machine?
Yes, with a mATX or even miniITX motherboards available, slim drives, low-power CPU's, it's not hard to come up with a box that's small and covers...
You should still be able to find a 7850 for your price if you look around. The price is starting to creep back up because they've been replace by...
Finished Dead Space. Scary without feeling like they were all cheap scares. I picked up the second one and have started on that. Also grabbed...
I would play with different driver versions that support your video card and also make sure that before doing all the work to pull the...
I usually use Newegg.com as a reference in the US. Depending on your needs, a solid PSU of 700W+ on a Haswell-ready PSU would be plenty (unless...
Ask the guy for your money back. You received a defective product and shouldn't need to do all this to have a working product. I am confused: is...
Overclocking is subjective to said application. A 3.4GHz chip overclocked to 4.7GHz isn't going to do much for you in Word. It can help in gaming,...
If it's all the time, it's likely the screen. If it comes and goes, it might be the graphics adapter. If it's still under warranty, this would be...
You have to look at costs with that many PCs. There's always something better, but it's not always necessary for the desired functionality. I...
When you say the system won't start, could you clarify? Is it not powering on (going through POST with the usual beeps) or are you not getting to...
Whoops on that one.
As long as the motherboard supports AM3+, you're fine. Asus is typically a very solid choice. You should be able to drop it in and go since your...
The 7850 is a really nice card. It's been fantastic and will run Crysis, Battlefield 3, even with a lesser CPU (yes, I'm doing this right now)....
Possibly. You would need to see if your current motherboard offers BIOS support for AM3+ CPUs like the FX line. Not all motherboards are capable...
Some ideas: ghetto mods. Also, depending on your mod, zip-ties can work wonders...even with large heatsinks. If you can line up bolt patterns,...
Those look good, so I think I will get them once they drop in price. Dishonored looks good too, something along the lines of Deus Ex and Bioshock,...
