I like Windows 8, most people just don't understand a simple tweak will solve all their hate about it in literally 20 seconds. I've said way too many times already on this forum but if you don't like Metro or the interface changes of Windows 8/8.1 then all you have to do is go toNinite - Install...

This makes sense to me. Get a receiver that has 2 x speaker zones. Zone 1 would be setup for TV viewing from the couch, Zone 2 would be speakers setup for sitting at the computer. My parents do the same thing except Zone 1 is speakers for the TV and Zone 2 is their outside/deck speakers. And...

If you're doing a fresh install I'd still highly recommend getting your Chipset/LAN/Wireless/Card Reader/Etc from your Motherboard's manufacturer. Windows does a fine job from there. If anything, 100% get your chipset drivers from your MOBO manufacturer because sometimes they have goofy...

I'm installing a guys new smaller TV room with HTPC which has a sound bar on Sunday, going to see how impressed I am with it before I make a decision.

Yup. Keeping all that peripheral questions in mind. She has a HTPC hooked up to the TV and nothing else and likely never will have anything else hooked up because it does everything she needs (movies, TV shows, music, sports, etc) and she doesn't play games. I'll be able to figure out how to...

That'd be fine + probably a little over kill. I'd keep an eye out for PSU deals on SlickDeals.

Yeah I was reading a review that mentioned those. I'll keep an eye out on SlickDeals etc and see if I can get a pair for $150 like you mentioned. I have been reading really good things about the Vizio S4221W-C4 soundbar soifI got a soundbar I'd get that one. She definitely has the room for those...

Hey guys. I'm planning on getting my girlfriend a soundbar for her 42"-47" HDTV (I can't remember the size off the top of my head). Or a stereo setup, it really doesn't matter. It doesn't need to be too terribly fancy. Any suggestions?

Lenovo G510 Laptop | Entry-Level Laptop | Lenovo (US) This deal is going on right now. As far as Windows 7 or 8 goes, just stick with 8 and install Classic Start. Windows 8 is a better OS and with Classic Start it will function EXACTLY like 7. Very simple to setup (install it off of...

The guy also did a horse shit cabling job. He means he professional managed to fuck them up. Also it looks like he is using a stock cooler. I would highly recommend a 3rd party cooler (Hyper 212 EVO or Noctua NH-D14) even if you aren't going to OC it - Haswell typically runs pretty hot and...

Yup. I was 16 so I just immediately turned around and started laughing. What are you good at that most other people aren't?

Depending on the game it is either right there with the 660 Ti or just slightly behind it. You could jump up to the 270X for a little boost.

This is accurate. TecKnoe go with Windows 8.1. If you need any help setting up Classic Start just shoot me a PM or ask here. It is pretty damn easy though.

R9 270 is about $180~

Damn joeboo I just sold my other 660ti too, I coulda given it to you for cheaper. Ah well. I'm such an idiot... debating getting a second 780 Ti.

So get this one:SeaSonic SSR-650RM 650W ATX12V EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Newegg.com

FYI this PSU deal rocks:SeaSonic SSR-650RM 650W ATX12V EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Newegg.comfor $60. It normally runs for $100. If you are looking for a PSU around 650W I really recommend this one.

False. Windows 8 is a superior OS over Windows 7. Period. It doesn't matter if you have an SSD or not. If you dislike the "Metro" interface and prefer the taskbar you just go toNinite - Install or Update Multiple Apps at Onceand install Classic Start. I'd be interested in why people still...

Derp. NM.

The amount that you lose is negligible in normal use. Zodiac's charts up there tell a good story - there's no way you're going to run into endurance issues between the two TLC/MLC before you'd replace it anyways. 100 GiB/day for nearly 8 years for the 250GB?... that is PLENTY long and will...

Same. Completely lackluster year for deals as far as I'm concerned.

Crone if you haven't yet I'd still check into a firmware upgrade.

Small Cyber Monday list here but I found this onBuild a PC: sales https://skydrive.live.com/view.aspx?...FMmtmgW0ukemhk

Could just be a wonky mouse but change the default number of scrolls per wheel turn up one or two ticks and see if it solves it.

As if I didn't need a reason to hate people who bike more.

i5-4670k is the newest and "Best" i5 out there. Just make sure you get a good cooler.

G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) F3-12800CL9D-8GBSRfor $50. G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) F3-14900CL9D-8GBSRfor $53. Those are pretty good deals

Unfortunately I didn't get one of the golden Haswell chips. I can only keep my 4770k at 4.3 or 4.4 and keep it under 80C at full load which seems to be very common. I'll get some pics up tomorrow when I have a camera that doesn't suck balls (my phone refuses to take a good picture showing off...

The Extreme4, UD3H, and the ASUS are all fine boards. Of those, its a toss up between the Extreme4 and UD3H.

AMD acquired ATI in 2006. Also post a budget and what you'll use the computer for and I can give you a starting point.

The article has scores for 1920x1080 as well... Without AA: With AA:

I've been telling people that for almost all gamers there is absolutely NO reason to not switch. Install Windows 8.1 x64 and install Classic Start off ofNinite - Install or Update Multiple Apps at Once. There. If you hate metro it is out of your hair and you never have to deal with it again.

Side note: Got my computer up and running last night. Haswell is a bitch to overclock. Going to take my cooler off tonight, clean it up and redo the thermal paste. Pretty sure I used too much because so far I can't even get it above 4.3 Ghz without my temps going above 80C under load (83 was max).

He said consistent 60 FPS. See below. At 2560x1600, Ultra Quality settings, and 4X MSAA you're looking at an average of 35 FPS with a 780 and minimum FPS of 25. Even with AA turned off at the resolution the 780 does 33 min/47 avg. Again, here are the charts to give you an idea of what your...

It's too bad that the only SATA 6 Gb/s on that board are on a Marvell controller. My experience with Marvell controllers has been nothing but awful.

Also REAAAAAAAALY happy I snagged an i7-4770k for $200 at MicroCenter. NewEgg's blackfriday deal is for $300 on them... just lol.

Admittedly I know jackshit about this micro ATX board but it is on sale for $75 right now:Gigabyte GA-Z87M-D3H

Top. Fucking. 10.
