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 guys! I will be going with hardware guru's build! You have been great help and as fast as I could have hoped for! I will be purchasing the products today so that I can help my brother with the build when the parts come in. Glad to be helping another person become a builder! I hope you...
I am trying to help my brother decide whether to build or buy a new computer. He needs only the brains - gonna use his HUGE 46" tv screen for the screen. This is what we were looking into - please give any advice or tips you can for this build. He would like to be as close to 600 as possible...
Thanks again guys! I have the screwdrivers Danny Bui so now I must wait patiently for my components to arrive. According to Newegg my stuff should be shipped out tomorrow, and I should get everything Wed. or Thurs. I will read everything including the FAQ Danny recommended Thurs. and Fri. and...
I realized after the fact that the video card you suggested is GDDR3 format will this be any problem with the other items since I have DDR2 memory and such? I just want to make sure since I just put the order in that I didn't find a problem after the fact. Also, wanted to know if there are any...
This was my finalized purchase! Thanks again so much Danny Bui! I may be back if I can't figure out how to get it all together correctly since this is my very first build with 0 experience. I like putting things together, but never tried a comp. There is a first time for everything. We have...
What about something like this from Raidmax?

Can you recommend any good cases with a clear side panel or is it possible to get a side panel for a case? I'd really like to be able to show off my work when I'm done - I like the case you suggested except that it doesn't have a clear panel. Thanks again. I'll look about other NZXT options too.
Are any of these cases good? They are all from TigerDIrect.com and with shipping would be cheaper or about the same price with shipping. I would like to have a nice looking case so that as I make upgrades I could keep the same case and show off my hard work! :) But I don't want to have...
Danny Bui - is this mobo decent? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128364 - it is a little cheaper and provides the upgrade to DDR3 memory if the performance ever increases with it. Thanks again!
Danny Bui - I was looking up the DDR2 Memory from G.Skill and can't figure out what the big difference between the one you recommended and these two is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231192 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231174 - everyone...
Thanks so much Danny Bui! I never would have known all that! I will make the changes to my shopping list! I will begin price checking sites this evening when I have some time! :)
Danny Bui or other commentors - does this look like a good build? I started by working from the items in your build, but wanted to see if I could afford some upgrades from it. If this is good I would just buy a keyboard, mouse, speaker set at a local store and upgrade them as I got money...
Ok thanks for the tip! So it seems NewEgg is the way to go for everything? I appreciate the correction as this is all brand new to me. I want to make the smart choice and trying to make sure I learn what is good at the same time! :)
Is this a good build and are all parts compatible? I found this site before I got Danny's response and just wanted to know if I'm on the right track with what I came up with. This includes everything. Comes just under 2,000 with a 3 year warranty. It's from iBUYPOWER.com. Is this a good or...
Thanks so much for the rig options Danny! I am glad to have a full system for so little with enough left over for the keyboard, mouse, and speakers. I have one question. Is wireless included in your build. My problem is the only place I have for a comp is away from the router so it would...
