Hi all, I'm looking for help with making a decision on which type of laptop I should get. My intended use is for work in web development in which I'll have ~5-7 programs running most the time with outlook, messenger, two web browsers, editing client and such. I'll also have a developer...

Sorry yes, I had forgotten my monitor goes to 144Hz. Got the DisplayPort cable in and reseated the card and all issues are now gone. Also decided to give Windows 8.1 and am liking it. On a side note I will never believe a rebate from Corsair again. Bought that PSU for the $20 rebate making it...

Sort of a shot in the dark as I remember something similar happening to me as more of an oh duh moment on my first build. Did you by chance forget one of the power connectors to your motherboard? When it happened to me I forgot to plug one of the two in.

I've tried HDMI but it messes up the resolution on it as the HDMI cable cant support the monitors native resolution. It sort of shrinks it down and only stops using about an inch or two around the whole monitor. I believe I also remember having that issue happen once with the HDMI cable in there...

The DisplayPort plug hasn't actually gotten here yet so I've only had one connected in the DVI and no second monitor yet. As I mentioned it only has this weird issue every 10 restarts or so and the monitor never had this issue on my old machine. I'll try reseating the graphics card on it to see...

Sorry for the slow response. I really appreciate all the help you guys gave me! I built it last Wednesday as newegg shipped slower than expected. and it went without any major hiccups. Minor issues I had was not having enough SATA cables, it only came with 2 and I needed 3 and that I had to...

Thank you all for your help, I really appreciate the suggestions! Went ahead and submit the order last night. Should get it all by Tuesday for building :)

Thanks for all the input all! I've adjusted my build to the suggestions here. Went with the EVO SSD, got the ASUS H97 with an M.2 slot, and switched to the 280X. One question I have is would it be a lot better to get the lower i5 chip that can be overclocked instead of the 4690? I've typically...

I am not really planning to put the SSD's in a raid format, so much as I just wanted ~340+ GB of SSD space. I was looking at a 120GB SSD for C drive (OS & misc programs like firefox), then another 240GB for my games. That SSD I found seems the best deal so I just selected two. I'm just slightly...

1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Gaming, ideally I want a PC that will play Witcher 3 when it comes out at at least medium range settings and play high on the current games now. I build new PC's on average every 3 years in this price range...

Thanks for the input, sorry for the delay in response: I am using the manufacturer's drivers, it's a logitch MX 518 and fully updated. I will try the different USB port thing tonight, that actually could be it thinking back on some things so I'll post back here in a bit.

Hey I've been having a strange issue with my mouse ever since I installed Windows 7. I've searched on Google and haven't found any others having issues like this. Basically anytime my system gets really high usage the mouse will occasionally jump on the screen. This will mostly happen when I'm...
