I agree. I got one simply because I wanted to be able to load bf3 and ps2 maps in a reasonable amount of time. I was blown away at how much a difference it made. I never want to go without one as my boot drive ever again.

I'd change the mobo to an asrock z77 extreme4. It has everything yours has plus a few more ports and is a similar price. I have it on my computer and I absolutely love it (although it does have a power slot (tired and can't think of the right term) that is a little hard to find find). Also, an...

You can get a Silverstone ST60F-ES 600W PSU for $60 as opposed to your $80 520W PSU (can someone please double check this, I'm not an expert on PSU's so I may be missing something but the other PSU should work) If you are building this computer, you could simply get the 64 bit OEM version of...

Thank you very much, but I don't like egonomic keyboards. Any other keyboards that have an alt key between the x and c keys? Thanks

On my laptop, the alt key is between and below the x and c keys. On every other keyboard I've looked at it is between and below the z and x keys. Are there any good USB keyboards that have the alt key in the same position as my laptop or do I just simply need to get used to alt being a bit...

Does anyone know of an extension or something for Google Chrome that will change all the white on a web page to a nice very light grey? I'm having problems with the white causing eyestrain

Apparently I had a user error: RTFM :hammer2: Turns out there was a third power connector on my motherboard that I hadn't seen.

I recently bought parts for a new computer. I assembled the components and hit the power button and nothing happened. The fans spin up, but other than that, nothing happens. It won't go through post, it won't reach the boot menu, nothing happens. Does anyone know what I should check for first...

I am building a computer without an optical drive and I'm installing Windows 7x64 Home Premium OEM. To install the OS, will I have to remove the optical drive from another computer and temporarily install it in my build or is there an easier way to do this? I would prefer to just simply use a...

Photoshop messed up the metadata for several of my pictures (mostly shutter speed). How do I fix this? There are 3 pictures that are all listed at 1/4000. I need to change one of them to 1/1000 and the other to 1/80. Thanks

Speaking of LAN, is there any way to use a cd drive over a network? I would like to use it to install the few games I have that still use cd's.

Are you sure? It really isn't that hard to do so. If your not comfortable doing so you could instead hire someone else to build it for you. This video has a ~$500 computer that can play bf3 with 1080p 60 frames a second on low settings and Black Ops 2 at 1080p with 60 fps at highest settings. It...

I'm building a computer and I am installing windows 7x64 Home premium OEM. The computer won't have an optical drive. Is it possible to install windows 7 OEM via an ISO or do I need to use the disk to install it?

Any idea what it does/how it works? If it is there to prevent me from installing a pirated copy of windows or something but doesn't interfere with anything I don't have a problem with it at all. If it decides that I can't use a program like daemon tools or fraps/dxtory to make/use a backup copy...

Anyone have any idea how intrusive this is? What might it prevent me from doing? I checked google but I couldn't find anything. Thanks

I'm building a computer and in the motherboard's description I got this line: "7.1 CH HD Audio with Content Protection (Realtek ALC898 Audio Codec), Supports THX TruStudio™" By "Content Protection" do they mean some sort of DRM/copy protection? Or is this something else entirely? Thanks...

Here in America there are stereotypes that we jokingly have of other nations (i.e. the Canadians are extremely polite, the British love a nice cup of tea, and the French love wine). We for the most part don't seriously believe them but we will make jokes about these stereotypes anyways. This has...

Maybe they will let you download some of the file on the evening of the 31st? :mischief: You won't be able to get the whole file, but it you limit it so that you don't exceed their cap, that might be ok. Otherwise, several hours at the library is still better than several days. I remember back...

Go to the library or a neighbor to download it.

Is it possible to partition and reformat a hard drive in a computer that only has one hard drive without removing it from the computer? If so, how? Thanks
