    I'd read similar stuff last night when I was digging around. Most of what I found pointed towards DirectX, motherboard/GPU drivers, or a hardware failure of sorts. Hard to diagnose yet.

    The CPU should stretch you quite a while. The GPU you can always sell and replace for a great improvement in a year or two (or just SLI the damn things). If you go back in this thread or just Google "BF4 CPU benchmarks" or "Bioshock infinite cpu benchmarks" you'll see that there hasn't been a...

    Itlan, here is a nearly identical motherboard made by ASUS if you want to go with mkopec's recommendation. I have this motherboard in my build and it has served me very well so far. It is the same price as the Gigabyte you currently have in the build. Newegg.com - ASUS Z87-PRO LGA 1150 Intel...

    I'm sure there are a variety of reasons for not doing it (perhaps they're just heavy on inventory of this particular build and need to flush inventory, for instance, who fucking knows). But this is a fantastic laptop. If you take out the 4 reviews on NewEgg that aren't actually for this...

    I agree with you 100% that they are only good if known about - which is why instead of just bitching about metro I am spreading the solution for people who don't know. I disagree with the rest of what you said, though. I never recommended you (or other technologicslly impaired people) go around...

    If I'm not mistaken, Steam has an option to select where each individual game is installed to when you first go to install it. So no, you don't necessarily need steam on the same drive as all of your games. I'd test to confirm this but I'm at work ATM. AFAIK Origin goes I'm not sure and will...

    Reseat your GPU if you haven't already (take it out and put it back in) - and double check the power is properly connected to it. Also most modern mobos have an HDMI slot to use a monitor on the built-in graphics, pull the GPU and test that to see if the monitor works there.

    No, it doesn't matter. If you're intellectually honest to the post you're quoting you'd realize that I said 8/8.1 with Classsic Start (aka remove Metro) and I'd explain why. In fact you just did it for me: They want what they're used to. I always send them an email with how to install Classic...

    Windows 8

    So you're agreeing that Windows 8/8.1 is a superior OS when you install Classic Start/Shell and that it is quite stupid to have Metro as the default UI (since it is pure shit) and that people who say 8/8.1 is shit because of that are just as stupid as MS?

    7-Zip does a better job of creating smaller zip (or other format) files when compressing, and it does it in a faster way (both compressing and decompressing).It also adds shortcuts to quickly compress or decompress files and other file formats (seriously, you never work with ISOs, JARs, or...

    Classic Start/Shell isn't buggy at all. I've never had it crash on me (anecdotal) but it has been rock solid enough to recommend it to everyone. Agreed 100%. But that doesn't make the entire OS shit unless you pretend there aren'tvery fucking simple and quicksolutions. The point I was trying to...

    Windows 8

    Do you bitch about a computer if you don't have Chrome installed over IE? Or 7zip over the standard zip program? Or it not working without installing drivers? How is installing Classic Start/similar any different? How can you possibly bitch this much about such a simple fix? You seem dumb.

    Windows 8

    It's better but I wouldn't say it takes a shit all over it. 7 took a shit all over Vista. 8 is good and introduced a lot of things that were needed in the natural progression of the way technology moving but it didn't do it in a mind blowing way. Hopefully 9 does though.

    Go to:Ninite - Install or Update Multiple Apps at Once Check the box next to Classic Start. Click Get Installer. Run. Wait 5 seconds. You're done. Wah... wah... And yes, Microsoft is stupid for ignoring what people have been asking for. But that doesn't make the entire OS shit. That...

    Windows 8

    Translation: With a 15 second install it is a better OS than 7 and idiots who bash it more than likely have a preformed opinion based off of articles and will never be able to separate that from the actual reality that it is a better OS. Metro (for the most part) blows. Everyone knows that...

    ^ right. Was in a rush writing this while working and put caps and not coils. Derp. And yeah typically there isn't anything "wrong" with them but when you're spending $700-725 on a top-of-the-line card you'd expect the thing not to exhibit coil whine.

    Those are fine cases too. Most Corsair Carbide series or Antec 300/600/900/1200 are solid.
