    Asrock p67 Extreme 6 not detecting gpu

    Okay I am back. I am having a problem with my old asrock p67 extreme 6, with a 2500k cpu. I went a little crazy and might have let my 2500k become a big bottleneck for a new r9 390 gpu. Well that was the plan until I can't even get the motherboard to boot or my monitor to receive a signal. I...

    Decisions: Holiday gift giving gone wrong? 2500k@4.5ghz vs 8320 (with hopes to OC)

    Yeah, I know. I was planning on waiting for the new 14nm chips to do an actual rebuild. This was just a build of opportunity, one I should have probably done a bit more research on, but it was for my sister. That being said offering her a new chip is probably a kinder gesture. Again thanks all...

    Decisions: Holiday gift giving gone wrong? 2500k@4.5ghz vs 8320 (with hopes to OC)

    Well I certainly hope my 2500k won't break. I just need it to last me a little longer... I am not sure if what was said was sarcasm, or a dire warning. Either way a new chip will probably be a safer bet as a gift!

    Decisions: Holiday gift giving gone wrong? 2500k@4.5ghz vs 8320 (with hopes to OC)

    Okay seem to be getting a consensus, and truthfully it was what I was expecting. I just wanted to make sure. Again thanks for the answers. -> Jhu Basic gaming, maybe some video editing stuff. I am not terribly sure. It was kind of an impulse buy but she is running my old q6600 at the moment so...

    Decisions: Holiday gift giving gone wrong? 2500k@4.5ghz vs 8320 (with hopes to OC)

    Hmm that is a tough question to answer. I play all sorts of games from Fallout 4, World of Tanks, Star Craft II, Total War, Witcher 3. I really run the gambit on gaming, spending too much money in the process I am sure. I guess the easy way to answer that, is that I am not set on one specific...

    Decisions: Holiday gift giving gone wrong? 2500k@4.5ghz vs 8320 (with hopes to OC)

    First off I just want to start by getting ahead of the game and saying thank you for whatever advice is given. So yes, thanks. Long story short my sister needs a new computer, and feeling in the holiday spirit I decided to jump on some sales. More or less a 990fx motherboard, and a fx 8320...

    So I am guessing that the motherboards for the fixed p67 boards are going to be exactly the same except have the problem fixed? Stupid question I know but I want to make sure before I start researching the p67 boards. Any recommendations are welcome.:D

    New Computer Build

    Well I headed down to Microcenter today to buy some of the parts for my build, and to my surprise saw that the 2500k was on sale for 180, 10 dollars more than the 760 this kind of disturbed me so I called up my sister and eventually she agreed to wait the extra month or 2 until I can get a...

    Well thanks for all the input guys, I will probably go with the i5 760, 8gb gskill ram, and a cheaper motherboard I am still doing some research on the one I am going to buy though. Yeah Athadeus I wish I could wait for the new SB motherboards, but I can not wait my sister wants a computer asap...

    New Computer Build

    Hmm I run a lot of different games actually, I wont try and list them here. I pretty much play a good amount of whats out there so it might be easier if you tell me what games run better on the 1366 platform. If you don't mind. To clarify, I play a lot of strategy games, Total war, world in...

    New Computer Build

    Well the way I was going to set it up would be similar to my p55 build... p55 i5 760=170 MB=180 x58 i7 950-200 mb-187 Well I guess with overclocking the difference in performance will be even more nullified no? Also a quick question while overclocking, with chips with HT it seems a lot of...

    How about the x58 platform with the i7 950, I was looking at the asus x58 sabertooth MB which is similar in price to the p7p55d-e pro.

    I was also thinking of hooking a hyper 212+ for cooling, I want to go with 8gb of ram (2x4gb), but I am not sure if its worth it over 4gb(2x2gb). (The ram I was looking at was gskill ripjaw ddr3 1600)

    Actually that is the one I wanted, but I was not sure about the 30 dollar premium over the standard p7p55d-e.

    Thanks for the quick replies guys, so it seems at least you two are for the i5 760, any recommendations for a p55 motherboard. I was looking at an asus p7p55d-e, but there are so many choices, I always have the most trouble picking out a mb.
