    DoA PSU, Mobo or both?

    1) Yea, made sure all the power connectors are in and in all the way. 2) Not sure what you mean? Yea I have a monitor hooked up through DVI. 3) No, not yet. I'm guessing that's to rule out a short? But how does that explain the old mobo and old psu working still :(

    gtx 670 or AMD 7950?

    Sapphire 7950 950 MHz edition and ran on 12.8 and currently 12.10. Battlefield 3 and Borderlands 2 run like a dream, Diablo III and Dota 2 not so much. Diablo III is playable after some tweaking but Dota 2 is downright unplayable. Considering Dota 2 is my main game, it's kind of a bummer and...

    AM3+ Motherboard

    Just won an FX-8150 and have no clue as to what mobo I should get. I'm upgrading from a i7-860 (LGA 1156) so it seems like this cpu is a sufficient upgrade. Considering that I have the processor cost taken care of I can afford to buy a full featured mobo. Suggestions?

    ATI 5870 and Corsair HX620

    Is a Corsair hx620 enough to power an i7, 5870, and 3-4 HDDs with enough juice for moderate overclocking? if it's not, what PSUs do you guys recommend? preferably something on sale :(

    Computer components turn on but no display on monitor

    just checked em. 24-pin, and atx 12v, and 6-pin molex for the gpu are in tight. However, I was wondering how a broken plastic pin on my heatsink would affect my cpu. Only one of the four pins are broken. Maybe I did permanent damage to the CPU?
