Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Thanks for the advice guys. I did decide to spend a bit more and got the 8gb 480 for $210 rather than the 3gb 1060 for $170. I think in the long run the extra ram will be nice, and it was only $40. Nabbed a 5gb hard drive since the deal at newegg was pretty good while I was at it. My PSU isn't...

So I actually posted this a while ago, wound up fixing his PC for the time being and we got him something else. The PC finally bit the dust a few days ago, so my wife and I are going to replace it for him as a Father's Day/Birthday gift.
My main concern up front is: is it even worth building...
Went to Best Buy a little while ago to buy a 1 year membership to extend my PS Plus, not realizing it would renew automatically. Waited too long to return it, so here we are.
Asking $40.
It's not that far. And yes, we're going to be hammered. I won't be going to that MicroCenter for the next couple days at least. It will be fine by this weekend.
I guess very old isn't terribly accurate. So he had "a guy" that he would go to for computer related stuff and the machine has had...
So my Father-in-Law's very old computer is crapping out, and I wanted to surprise him with a new one.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
It should all be very light usage. Email, web browsing, maybe some occasional work from the office on Access or...
Looking to buy a video card for my little brother to improve his gaming performance, he tries to game at home on an 8800 GTS :p.
Thinking something like a 5850, 6850, 7770, 7790, 650 TI, 560 TI, 560. I'm flexible on the price, but I would like to stay near $60 or a bit more.
In addition to...
