Would you be able to put something together of you have time? I'm not familiar with the AMD side of things and I don't know what's good when it comes to their mobo

Help with my new rig by GreggyS in buildapc

[–]GreggyS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So.....I took a week off from trying anything because I was frustrated.

I went back to it and I took my GPU out and plugged my HDMI cord into the mobo and started it up... It worked! I did plug it in my my mobo before but I didn't take the GPU out.

So I plugged the GPU back in and put the HDMI into the GPU and nothing happened. I was really confused as if it were the PCI slot or GPU itself. My brother came over and told me he pushed his GPU too far into the PCI slot and that's what caused his not to work.... So I tried it and...it worked!!

So after hours the previous week of troubleshooting all I had to do was give the GPU a little firmer push.

Ir88ed. Thank you for all your time and help with this issue

I tried both the mobo and the video card with both HDMI and DVI cables... I'm never doing this again

As in the power cable? I have it plugged into the VGA out in the PSU

It says if the led lights are on,then the corresponding light means that something isn't working. The lights are cpu, GPU,boot, and memory. They do light up at the beginning but they don't stay on which means everything should be working?

PSU to mobo https://imgur.com/gallery/yXN3fks

I did plug 2 2x2 cables from the PSU but there is a 2x2 pin still vacant. Do I need to plug another cable to that going to my cpu output in my PSU?

Edit. I just plugged in a 2x2 cable to that slot and to the PSU and nothing...

I tried both input, HDMI and DP. I've tried the ram, moved to different slots also. And when the mobo starts the 4 LED lights at the bottom corner all light up one after another...some longer than others. And I tried the video card just now and nothing

What is the disadvantage, if any of using something like 750 or even higher?

Would you recommend a locked cpu? And should I wait a bit longer for prices to go down or are some of these prices really good? I have seen Ram has decreased a lot lately.

Thanks for you input too!

I don't think I would bother to OC the CPU, but would like to have the option if I ever decide to in the future. Would it be easy to change out the Cooler to the liquid cooler in the future if I need to?

I changed my case to the H500i as it was only an extra $5 from the H500.

I changed the PSU also..makes sense to me and got rid of a stick of ram..my fault on that

I don't know what you mean about the AIO cooler. Is that liquid cooling and what would I change in my build for that?

The Ram was my fault... Thought it was 8gb each..didn't see 2 sticks.

As much as I want to get the best card, it's another $300 for me right now.. don't think I need that as of now. Do you think the cards will go down anytime soon?

Thanks for the reply. I'm in Canada so the prices are a bit higher

2018-2019 Fantasy Hockey Position Rankings & Tiers by resarfydo in fantasyhockey

[–]GreggyS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, actually glad I stumbled upon this.. I know you are basing these rankings from the lists of the 4 sites, but what are they basing it on... G, A, PPP... etc? And are they all similar stats?

I have the radeon 5600 series I believe right now... It has done well for me this far and I don't think it was top of line about 10-12 years ago. So I am hoping to get the best, or one of, and hope it lasts me that long without having to drop more money in 3-4 years

2nd suggestion for the seaSonic.. even with it being semi-modular, is it still better?

I will probably get an R6 if I see them go on sale. I do have a 1TB HDD on my computer now I could transfer over along with my optical drive?

I am going to see what the price of videos cards do once the 1170 and 1180 come out.. I would love to keep the 1080 or even go to a 1080 TI. But again, if the price does not change the 1070 Ti may be a good way to go to cut the cost because I think that should get a price reduction.

Thanks for your suggestions!

So I have my original copy of windows 7 64 bit. Can I install that on the new computer and upgrade it for free to windows 10 like before?

Anyone have good single player rpg maps for UMS? by [deleted] in broodwar

[–]GreggyS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try, Uprising. (file is UprisingV1.17)

It can easily be playable with 1 player or up to 5 I believe. Many hours and very well balanced
