After weeks of researching around and evaluating a lot of stuff, i have finally picked the parts required to build my PC. This will serve as my work and gaming pc for the NEXT 3 ~ 5 YEARS to come by, without any other planned future upgrades. I am an application developer and i'll be spending...

It's been 7 years since I built my first PC. And you guys helped me do it (I still remember Mfenn helping me every step of the way - I wonder if he's still around). That badboy ran for a solid 4 years, kicking every game's ass. It wasn't until 2015 that I had to upgrade my GPU since my old EVGA...

Hello builders and enthusiasts, I'm designing my new rig for the end of 2017 - early middle 2018. It's the first time for me to build a system from scratch. But I've read a lot and tried to keep myself updated with the new trends. I put together a few parts (pc part picker link below) and will...

Hello all, I'm Chip, and it's been a really long time since I've built myself a computer. I recently put one together and decided to house it in a NZXT S340. I could not be happier with the case. Easy to build in, great looking and massive inside. Anyhow, I've been trying to decide on an AIO...

I used to love legos when I was a kid. Fantastic toys, they allow you to use your imagination while building engineering skills, dexterity and motor control. Now I have kids of my own and they like legos too so I "help" them ;) build stuff. What I don't like is that modern legos seem to be...

Hello everybody! So, I am pretty sure that I just bricked by computer. But I'm not really sure how I got here. I'm hoping you guys can tell me what went wrong/what did I do wrong. This all started when I decided to upgrade my rig with some Black Friday sales. The new components are as follows...

I have parts for a high end PC and I was thinking about taking them to micro center but was scared off by bad reviews. Yes I know how to build, I just can not justify the time and energy. My previous build gave me more problems than it was worth, defective parts, bios issues etc. I have...

Hello. I've been a member here for 5 years and, in short, have been waiting several months for BF to upgrade my MOBO/GPU/CPU and would like some advice for the best deals/compatibility. Also, if you would recommend replacement of other parts (i.e. RAM) I'm all ears, as I'm not sure how long...

Greetings, a complete novice here. I just started research for building my first PC for gaming etc, and there is definitely a lot to lose yourself in. Based on some digging, I've reached the point where I have a good idea what my budget is - I won't say because I live in Canada. A $1000 spent...

Hi, I would like to ask for your opinions regarding a server build. I was asked to get a server for a small company, in order to replace an old one (HP ProLiant ML110 G5 upgraded to 4Gb RAM) that is just struggling to be up to the job. The company has 4 computers in a windows network, which...

I'm selling my 2014 Razer Blade since I'm not really using it effectively (it just sits on my desk connected to my monitor). I've been searching around for this and a lot of builds get close but not exactly what I'm looking for. My build requirements are: 1) Mini-ITX Build - Aesthetics are...

I am building a budget CAD/FEA/Gaming machine. I have a Xeon E5649 (six core 2.5Ghz Base), and a MSI X58 PRO-E (MS-7522 V3.1) motherboard. The Xeon supports ECC DDR3 1333Mhz , but there is no info about ECC in the manual. Would ECC ram (PC3-10600R) work,or is the mobo lacking the extra...
