If you get the i7 4770k you'll need a z87 socket 1150 motherboard, Best one is the sabretooth.

Like I said, Order from amazon cause newegg basically won't replace it if it's defective but it's a great motherboard.

As for the card, If a 770 is enough for you get the evga 4gb gtx 770

R13, Lol. Remember all the bullshit with my little brothers motherboard/cpu? Guess what, My older brother bought a cpu/motherboard. He got a ASUS one off amazon and it doesn't work lol. Seems like same problem as little brothers. It just doesn't boot and has a red light. Probably failed bios -.-

I look at the Sabertooth spec but for a little more I can get Maximus VI Extreme it has Wifi and bluetooth.

That CPU heatsink is something serious :lol:

Sent from my toaster

 

[OneFastGSR]

Hahahaha FU! That heatsink is louder than my civics motor hahaha. So I moved the sound card above the gfx card instead of below so it would run alittle cooler, sound card was blocking gfx card fans. I think only thing else to reduce the temps on it is get a case fan for the side. Since I don't have one there but there's a space right beside the gfx card. But next on the list for my pc is a Corsair HX750 power supply, and a case fan. Probably order a case fan before to long and power supply later on. After that motherboard/cpu/heatsink is next upgrades

 

[OneFastGSR]

Alright just ordered a fan for the side

NZXT 200mm silent fan with blue LED on/off switch, Should plug right into my case, It's the same as the other 200mm case fans on my pc and should connect right up to the cases fan controller/led button

 

[goofygamer]

I didn't know there is an existence of a wimpier CPU cooler than the stock intel one. lol jk jk

Added another LG BH16 (DVD/Blu ray/CD drive) still can't play Blu ray, but the first started playing DVD's again and the second does nothing...


Confusion much. Aggravation very. Computer expensive. Fuck

 

[R13]

You have to buy software for blurays to play :/

 

[randomhobo]

They played a few months ago with no problem...

 

[R13]

Strange, I had a laptop with a blu ray drive and when my video player trial expired they stopped playing, Turns out you supposed to have to buy a player for it...

 

[randomhobo]

Hmm... I have a friend with an IT/Computer repair business, he's going to stop by and take a look, also he's another Doctor Who enthusiast and more than willing to help our.

I think the PSU died in the budget rig today, Left it for a few minutes and it turned completely off, It acts like it has no power so I'm gonna order an Evga power supply and see what happens, If that doesn't fix it as much as it breaks my heart I will have to rebuild it which means a sabertooth and an i7 which means delay on my beloved Rc51 because i need this PC for work and I'm not gonna half ass it if i have to spend any money at all. :cry:

That being said, Here's hoping EVGA can save the day yet again.
