    Malaysian Airlines 777 Shot Down (?)

    Not sure where you got that pic from but I just snapped this off FlightRadar24. There are still quite a few commercial planes flying over Ukraine.

    Along with the UN. This is either going to result in some actually serious shit going down, or as one redditor put it:"Yeah the UN sanctions and disappointed head shakes will be like SUPER serious this time."

    I know this is a rough translation, but yeah, OK psycho nutjob. Civilians not injured? It was a fucking flight from Amsterdam to Malaysia. Nope, no innocent civilians from completely different countries there!!

    Not to mention there is no purple around her pants or anything. Take a picture of your screen with your phone. Either that or you are just a pretty darn good troll who got us for a few posts.

    And it sounds like it is a good thing to practice soldering on since you have already replaced it and wrote it off as done-zo.

    Do a print screen directly into paint. Save it and upload the image to imgur so we can actually see what is going on. The images look fine to me so far. Leads me to believe you just don't have the cord from the monitor to the GPU plugged in all the way.

    Those temps look great. I'd even bump it up another notch. Anything at 80-85, ESPECIALLY with Prime95 for Haswell/DC, is perfectly fine. If you're hitting 75~ or so (if you went up a smidge after this shot was taken), push it to 44 multiplier, unless you're happy of course. Overclock.net was...

    Yup. I had a Samsung that crapped out during the warranty so I RMA'd it. The return started doing it after about another year or so. I reduced the brightness down like 1-2 ticks from 100 and poof, no issues.

    I might advocate for getting a Crucial MX100 256GB over the Samsung EVO 120 GB. You can find it for around $95-100 so for an extra $5-10 you get double the space and a little bit better performance (the MX100 256GB is just a tad faster than the EVO 250GB so it should be even a little faster than...

    The R9 cards, and someone correct me if I'm wrong here, draw a bit more power than comparative nVidia cards. The heat used to be a much bigger issue because third-party brands were using reference designs, and while you still want above-par air flow in your case, the newer cards have better...

    You might want to look into an R9 280X like Mire was just mentioning, too. It is about $40 cheaper and+/- 2 FPS of the 770 at both 1080p and 2160p. This is coming from an nVidia nutjob fanboy too.

    I almost went this route before my brother told me to add a little more money into the build and gave me a $600-650 budget. Here is what I came up with after the budget change: Link:Intel Core i5-4690K, Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost, NZXT Source 210 (Black) - System Build - PCPartPicker...

    Yeah but keep in mind this just a plain R9 280. Not the 280X. Here's rough estimates for FPS for games at 1080p Ultra Settings. BF4:45to50ish Bioshock Infinite:55 to 65 Tomb Raider: 80+? Crysis 3: 30-40? TomsHardware's FPS run-downhere.

    Yeah not to mention they have AA turned off in that link, soa single 780 Ti only gets 24 FPSwith FXAA on. For your cards, FXAA in Crysis 3 at 4K gives 780 SLI34 FPS. But at 1440pyou'd be looking at 68 FPS-ish depending on the rest of your rig. So yeah, 4K Ultra is out of the question for those...

    Running down from native res would drive me bonkers too. Your rig would still benefit from GSync at 1440p, even if you did only average a little over 60 FPS with those dual 780s.

    I'm not that great at budget builds. My brother has a 650 Ti Boost but his extremely old motherboard/CPU is finally shitting out on him. I have a $500-550 budget to upgrade his CPU/Motherboard/RAM/Case/SSD/HDD/Case/PSU to play League of Legends, browse the interwebs, and possibly some other...

    Twitch streaming + gaming would benefit, correct. Encoding while gaming would benefit, yes. Simply watching a video while gaming would be negligible difference. And the GPU would still give a greater benefit still in all but a couple games.

    The integrated card only works if the monitor is physically plugged into the motherboards video inputs.

    Windows has built in drivers for cards, that's probably why it is working with no drivers installed. When you install the nVidia drivers, are you doing a Custom (Advanced) install over an Express Install. Then on the next page ticking/selecting "Perform Clean Installation" at the bottom...
