you should update to the newest bios..i think they have 1.6 on the site now

hey guys, im planning to assemble my computer this weekend but had a question..i think my cpu (AMD 1055T) comes with a thermal pad already in place on the heatsink? do i need to still apply thermal paste to it? i read on wiki..you either use the thermal pad or the thermal paste..not both. thanks.

this one is on sale and has pretty good reviews http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?sduid=55995&t=2031632

ahh thanks for the help meghan..i dont have a paperclip around but ill try that tomorrow..you made me feel better..thought my psu was doa

hey guys, i just got a sony dvd drive and it was making this weird sound when i tilt it side to side..so i tried to plug it into my power supply to open the drive (plugged psu into wall then power connector to drive, no mobo) but nothing happens when i plug it in....tried presing the eject...

is the wd black for sale in the deals section or for sale? i was considering the 500gb cause im pretty sure i wont use that much space...im currently using a laptop with 40gb and an external hard drive with 160gb which is totally good for me but i appreciate the advice

hey guys, theres two drives on sale im considering..its either WD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136073 or Samsung http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822152181 which would you guys recommend? thanks

thanks for all the suggestions guys...i ended up kinda splurging and went with the 1055t/msi 890gxm-g65 combo at frys...i couldnt pass it up at that price

if you want you could return it and get the same one from frys for $45 after rebate..out of stock online but should be available in store http://www.frys.com/product/6092438

i just saw that too http://www.microcenter.com/specials/...namitedata.com man all these combos..i have no idea what to do..either save money and get the i3/630 combo or spend a little more to get the 640 but with the chance to upgrade to bulldozer later..decisions decisions

i was pretty set on getting the 640 but this deal just popped up and is pretty tempting..it ends today though http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?sduid=521206&t=2022240 what do you guys think?

thanks for the help russian..i do have a microcenter near me and that i7 does look mighty tempting...do you think the i7's increase in performance justifies about double the price of the i3/640?

probably no overclocking..i would like to keep it at least 2 years

nothing crazy..jus web browser, torrent, movies, and some light-mid gaming (mainly sc2)

hey guys, im planning to build a computer within the next month or so. Would you recommend the i3 or the (soon to be released) athlon 640. I just read that the i3 is better for gaming but the 640 is better for everyday tasks. I'm torn between the two right now. Thanks.
