Maybe the better question here is, are the new cards backwards compatible? Would a card that would work in a newly built system also work in a z77 board, or is it two different interfaces? Just pulled the card, it's a GTX760.

Sadly, I'm all too familiar with that smell. I didn't smell anything when it happened, didn't hear a pop or anything, the monitors just all politely turned off and went into sleep mode. I've not smelled it up close yet, but none of the telltale signs of a component failing were there. That's why...

In the middle of playing a game all three monitors just turned off, sound and system remained functional. Rebooting does nothing, they don't show BIOS, and when I put a monitor in the onboard, Windows doesn't show the card at all, and the nVidia app says there's no nVidia gpu present. It's an...

Thanks for the explanation. It seemed like the more expensive boards just had color leds on them, glad to know that's actually all you're paying for. I'll have to think on switching to AMD, I've been using Intel for decades now. You've already convinced me to order the SSD.

I built my computer in 2012, with only a graphics card update since then. Today I found out my RAM has gone bad, and I'm having constant blue screens and the computer is basically unusable. My thinking is that if I'm going to pay for replacement RAM, I may as well get a new motherboard and cpu...

I owned two G7s, and they both died on me after maybe two year. One was inside warranty, but they'd stopped making them, and they sent me a replace G700 instead. I've had it for years, and I absolutely hate it. I only keep using it, because nothing like the G7 has ever come out since, and I just...

Right now I'm looking at playing things like Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen (when it comes out). I may want to go with a three monitor setup for that, though probably not at first. I'm looking to build asap. So once I've nailed down exactly what I'm building, I'll start acquiring parts...

Dangman has helped me out with probably a half dozen builds over the years, I definitely respect his opinion. Not to take away from any of the help I've gotten so far in this thread. It's already given me a lot to think about.

I could spend more if it's justified. The system StoleMyOwnCar lists has an i5 and a GTX 970, which seem decent. What am I losing to have both of those and stay under $800? If I said I'd go to $1,000, for example, what would get added or upgraded? Generally--I'm not asking to rework the whole...

Am I gimping myself by setting the limit at $800? I know that more money always means better system, but is this a situation where I'd see a massive increase in performance for a few dollars more?

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $800 before tax and shipping 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible. USA, Cary, NC 4) What...

I get the same results you do there. So mine is newer than anything they've ever heard of.

Asus VE278

Flashlight shows nothing. Power LED comes on when the other monitors come out of sleep, but it's this weak yellow color, instead of the blue it usually is.

No adapter. Both dvi and now the hdmi are all going direct to the monitors. I'll check the backlight with a flashlight later as well.

Neither part is new. They'd been working fine together for probably two or three years before any of this started. So an incompatibility seems odd, unless a driver update did it. I'll check the power light next time I bring the system back up.

Windows button did nothing, unfortunately.

Not Dell nor display port. Was dvi, now mini hdmi. Monitor is Asus.

It's not a laptop, and it's not actually "sleep" mode, it's just turning off the monitors. I'll try hitting the windows button and see if it helps, though.

So I've been having some weird issues that are either the vid card or the monitor, I'm not sure which or how fixable either issue is. Maybe someone else has has a similar experience. Several months ago, maybe even a year at this point, I had an issue where if I started a game, the monitor...

All the games all the time. Crank it all up to max settings and see what happens.

If you put the phone in your front pocket, the weak point of the button cut out lines up exactly with the bend where your leg meets your torso. If you're wearing jeans and now sit down, you're definitely going to bend your phone.

Is there a smaller case that this build could fit into? The image made it seem really tiny, but when I started checking the actual dimensions, the N200 is 17.5 x 7.9 x 14.9, which is about the size of the midtower I'm replacing, and the HAF 912 is even bigger. I'd be willing to drop the dvd-rom...

Cool, thanks for explaining the difference in the recommendations. Definitely like having the SSD and discrete card.

It's a subway ride, then a train ride, then a bike ride. Call it two hours each way. Doable, but only worth it if there's some really great deal.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Web development (intellij, visual studio), video streaming, light gaming, photoshop 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $800 before tax/shipping 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S...

Wow, apparently I didn't even mention what OS I'm on. Windows 7.

It's not an all at once thing, it happens slowly over time. That number creeps up. Firefox frequently runs itself up to over a gig of ram used, and I'll close and reopen it and it stops. It's possible it's leaking it and not giving it back when it gets closed. But that'd be horrible on the part...

Few errors in the last 24 hours, but all just things like Steam failing to load and such. When I first got the SSD some optimization guide said 512 was good. I feel like every time I research it I find a different answer. Some said not to have a pagefile at all, that most programs don't even...

If I'm willing to look the other way on things like 16 gigs of ram not being enough with just Firefox running, and opening up my hard drive to dump whatever is filling all that ram to fill the entire hard drive as well, then sure. This has only started happening in the last few weeks, and I've...

It pops up and asks me if I'd like it to start closing programs for me. I've got the pagefile set to 512 because I'm on an SSD.

After a couple days of running, my computer starts telling me its out of memory. Task Manager says I've got 95% of physical memory used, but nothing shows as using it. Resource monitor says there's a ton sitting in Modified memory, like there's a leak, but no process actually has it in the...

Agencies writing disposable projects on short timelines tend not to. Most of their bug checking comes from QA and UAT. If you aren't creating a product likely to have updates, and the entire project will be taken down inside a couple months, unit testing isn't always an expense that can be...

Just ordered one of these (hated to go NewEgg, but Amazon wanted to charge me twice as much as shipping, and add sales tax on top of that). Seriously considered the K95, but it looks like all you get for the extra money is macros, which I in general don't use. Been meaning to pick up some...

The promo code EMCXPVN33 has expired and is no longer valid. That's what I get for not ordering over the weekend. Forgot June only had 30 days.

Not to mention the LIRR will probably cost you $20.

I'm able to run everything I want, so I don't foresee upgrading the card unless something awesome comes out that I can't play. At least one if not both of the portrait monitors will have code on them, so having them be tall is much more important than wide (I run a dual monitor setup at...

I'm looking to buy four new monitors for my desktop setup (which currently only has one, somewhat old monitor I'm looking to replace). I'm not looking to game across all four or anything crazy, I don't have Eyefinity. I'm thinking two monitors stacked vertically with a portrait on either...

I always leave mine on. I'll try that tonight.
