    Logitech Unifying receiver only works well on one USB port

    I just built a new PC with Gigabyte Z87M-DH3 motherboard. The Logitech Unifying receiver I've been using on my old PC only works well in the front USB port. The rest of the USB 2.0 and 3.0 in the back DO NOT work well at all. The mouse / keyboard hardly work. You have to press a button on the...

    Best power supply for i5 rig with integrated video?

    Thanks. I went with the 600 watt anyway because the price after rebate wasn't much higher, and there's a small chance I might add a better GPU if I get hooked on a new game in the future.

    Please comment on my my build before I buy it

    Thanks! You convinced me to get the GEIL memory and the i5. One more question -- is the GIGABYTE GA-Z87M-D3H the best budget micro board for my setup? If there is any board that is slightly more beneficial in any way, I don't mind spending an extra $10-20 or so. I noticed this board has a TPM...

    Budget board with TPM?

    I was looking for a budget board with a TPM module to use Windows 8 bitlocker. Is this a good option? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157397 System is i5 with integrated video. No overclocking. I can't find any other boards in this price range with TPM. Any suggestions?

    Good SSD with hardware encryption?

    Doesn't this require a TPM to use the BitLocker? (or alternatively a USB stick). Can you recommend some basic micro ATX boards that have a TPM module so I don't have to use the USB stick method? Requirements: 1150 board. TPM module. Dual monitor support with the integrated video. UEFI BIOS.

    Best power supply for i5 rig with integrated video?

    Is this fine for my i5? Only $20 after rebate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139026 I wish it was modular, but all the modular ones cost at least $40-60+.
