I suppose I can detach the motherboard from the old pc and reattach it to my new case, but that would be soo much work T.T Well, if your willingness to test things runs out faster than your budget, just try the new graphics card idea. If that fixes it, return the graphics card. If it doesn't, return the motherboard. If that fails, start threatening the PC with a fire axe. No, I understand you now, they only seemed contradictory because I was assuming you had tried to put your old graphics card in your new computer, and not vice versa. | ||

And if by "doesn't fit" he's talking about incompatible slots, it wouldn't help diagnose where the problem is actually occurring anyway, because it wouldn't eliminate a variable. If he means physically doesn't fit, there's workarounds. Yeah I thought he ment physically doesn't fit in his old pc's case. | ||

Jesus, how did I not think of that... talk about missing the forest for the trees if it works... Although if it does have picture then, we'll be back where we are now. | ||

Corsair Force Series 3 550MB/s read speeds, 520MB/s write, 85,000 iops (!) ... and the 120gb has MSRP of $220, which is 80 bucks clear of the Vertex 3. Great value. ![[image loading]](http://www.storagereview.com/images/Corsair%20Force%203%20SSD.png) | ||

The motherboard has a setting for which device to send video out to (add-in card or on-board). Sometimes you need to specify this to get the signal to the right output. So, no video from motherboard? Last thing I will recommend is CMOS clear. See page 24 on how to do this. + Show Spoiler + | ||

Budget : ~1,000. Would like to spend less if possible, I do need an OS. Resolution: 1900x1080. May possibly go dual monitor in the future. Usage: gaming + streaming. Mostly SC2, and planning for D3. I do not play FPS. (Ok, maybe CS:S once in a while) Upgrade cycle: I would like to get 4 years out of this computer, possibly upgrading the gpu/cpu in a couple years. I have gotten a solid 3 years so far from my wolfsdale, and only my desire to stream is causing me to build a new rig. Plan to order in the next few days. I plan on overclocking to 4.5k-ish. I do not plan on SLI/XF unless it becomes a leader in price/performance at the midrange. I must order everything from newegg or amazon. I must have a filled a cart on newegg 10 times so far. I have a hard time not choosing the +$50 options on everything, and talking to some of my friends who like to buy the most expensive of everything while choosing components doesn't help. I have been looking at getting a HAF 932 case, but I'm hoping its smaller and cheaper friends are just as good? I will basically never be transporting this computer as I have a gaming laptop so I wouldn't mind a sweet ass but heavy case that i could use for a decade. But maybe its too big and not needed? I currently use a hd4850 that meets my needs with sc2, of course I will want a newer card for this computer. Thinking the 5850 1gb for ~160 seems too good of a deal to go with a 5950/560ti? I have read so many varying opinions on motherboards, I don't want to spend 190$ on a asus p67 pro model but if it is more reliable for some reason....Also I may actually use an auto-tuning style feature to do my overclocking. The z68 cache build seems cool and fun but I don't know if it will help with streaming/gaming. I suppose I would rather spend money towards peripherals than an SSD. One last, perhaps too narrow thought: I notice the Realtek ALC892 has a worse S/N ratio than the 889 which seems to be only still found on the gigabyte boards. Last night I bought HD555 headphones on sale at amazon while researching pc stuff. Will using a ALC892 with the HD555s be (/gretorp) problematic? I currently use either USB headphones or my SPDIF out to a pretty sweet stereo for sound. Usually a combination of both. I'm assuming any p67 chip should suite my needs. All the information and discussion in this thread has been amazingly useful, I feel like I could make a purchase already but I feel unsure about if I should/need to be spending the extra +/- $50 on each component. Thanks a ton! Core i5-2500k and MSI P67A-G43 - $335 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.638772 Xigmatek Gaia - $30 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233082 EVGA GTX 560 Ti (register for your lifetime warranty) - $233 ($213 after MIR) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130604 G.Skill 2 x 2GB DDR3 - $40 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231394 Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB - $65 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185 LG CD/DVD burner - $20 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136238 Corsair CX500 V2 - $55 ($35 after MIR) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027 Cooler Master HAF 912 - $60 ($50 after MIR) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM - $100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986 Asus Xonar DG - $34 ($24 after MIR--you can find it cheaper elsewhere IIRC) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132020 That Sapphire HD 5850 Xtreme seems to be sold out in many places. It's probably a better value if it's around $150 though, but this is not a bad deal either. If you have a HD 555, I think spending a little on a sound card may be worth it, though depending, it may be not noticeably better. Place it as far away as possible from the GPU, in the lowest PCI slot. A larger case is really only to have more room inside to work on it (unimportant unless you tinker nonstop). You don't need extravagant cooling for a single-GPU build that will use like 250W max in a game. | ||
