thanks for the heads up!

All i can say is holy crap a SSD makes a HUGE difference... I got all my parts and put everything together and i was surprised how everything booted up perfectly fine and there were no hiccups! I'm usually used to a DOA memory module or the mobo bios being upset with something and getting the...

lol, i'm already getting massive lag!

Long story short, tiger direct had the eVGA GTX 780 SC ACX cooler in stock and i placed the order last saturday (paid $736.00 after shipping). Come to find out today that it was really backordered and wouldn't ship until next week July 3rd. My new haswell build arrives today! So i decided to...

return them

Thank you for your input and i would of definitely gone with what you have listed if i was on a budget. This build i kind of just went balls to the walls and just ordered off of reviews and what people on this forum as well as tom's hardware had to say. I considered the 7990/7970 GHz edition...

Just placed my order guys! 1 x ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard 1 x EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked ACX Video Card 1 x Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I74770K 1 x...

i found a i7 3930k for $400 would you guys pick this over a i7 4770k?

ooh that makes my choice even harder... I was actually looking at this mobo before i decided on the Hero. Only thing that scares me is i currently have the MSI Big Bang X Power right now and only after 3 months of use one of the memory slots went bad which left a sour taste in my mouth.

well not only that but the ROG motherboards look bad ass also especially the upcoming Formula one lol

I had the Rampage Extreme 3 as my original mobo with my core i7 extreme edition and it was an overall good mobo and i liked all the features. I really wanted the Extreme but i know i won't utilize all the features and the Hero is priced at $229 on newegg so it won't break the bank!

I've decided to go with the Maximus VI Hero, the extreme is nice but I wouldn't be using it to it's potential and the hero is in the $200 range.

yeah... i don't really understand all that lingo, but doesn't running raid mean that both 500 gb drives are only recognized as 1, however the speed is ridiculous? Sorry please enlighten me. I was just wondering if i can run 1 SSD and a old HDD just for my music, video, etc

Hey guy's im building a new system and the first recommendation everyone said was to ditch my WD Raptor's and get a SSD. I've decided to get the Samsung 840 500GB SSD. However my question is should i get 2 or is 1 enough? The SSD is where i will load windows and the video games and etc. I have...

sorry for the threadjack but i'm debating between the VI Hero and the VI Extreme. Do you guys think the Extreme is worth the $$$? or should i just stick to the Hero?
