His power supply is still well within warranty so there is no need to waste money on a new one when it can just be RMA'ed.


Yeah actually nevermind, RMA is a better option than buying a new one, if you want to go without a unit for a while. But maybe you can convince Corsair to cross ship.

If it is a failing PSU, I have no idea how to test it other than buying a new PSU and seeing if the problems continue. But like I said I didn't have any crashing problems before July and my PSU seems pretty solid (all the reviews were good when I bought it) so I guess I've never really thought of that as the problem.


You can measure the voltages with a multimeter (e.g. measure across a yellow wire pin and black wire pin on a molex connector to see what the nominal +12V is at). You won't get too much of a good idea without an oscilloscope worth at least a few hundred dollars though. So the best most consumers can do is to just get a new one and see if that helps, which is a dumb troubleshooting idea that I'd hope you could avoid if possible.

All the Corsair 750W units on the market are good, and all are way overkill for your setup. Reviews are about the design, components, and performance, which are good. They're not going to say whether or not the particular unit you own is defective, which is possible.

With that many hardware failures, I'd be suspicious at least.

Any ideas of a good single slot video card? Tryin to get the misses to play SC2 but the MacBook Pro running boot camp isn't the best solution because of heat. Down side is that the computer I have is a Dell Optiplex and I can only run a single slot video card. I don't want to invest that much money if she doesn't show interest.

5670 is just bad and is significantly outperformed by 6670 which already is bad value. Though if you don't have Dirt3 this is pretty good:

I don't really get why this wouldn't do as it's only 110$:

Or is there really so little room neither will fit o.O

5670 is not significantly outperformed by the 6670. Both the 5670 and 6670 are priced relatively to how well they perform.

Both cards you linked are dual slot. The person asking specifically asked for a single slot card.

Yeah actually, what model Dell Optiplex is it? What does it really look like?

Many small cases will only fit half-height video cards, but few will only take a single slot video card, unless the computer already has other expansion cards already in the way. I'm not that familiar with Dell Optiplex models, but I suspect that few or none are mini-ITX, with only one expansion slot? MicroATX is the most common for desktop computers.

Just checking.

What is your budget?
$600-700 including screens and peripherals.

What is your resolution?
1920x1080

What are you using it for?

I’m making a computer for my dad’s office. He mostly does Word and web browsing. He also wants two 22" screens.

What is your upgrade cycle?
4 years

When do you plan on building it?

ASAP

Do you plan on overclocking?
Nope

Do you need an Operating System?

No, his work provides it.

Do you plan to add a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire?
No

Where are you buying your parts from?
Newegg.com and Amazon.com

Other stuff
We also need a 24" monitor for a different computer (separate from the budget). Do you guys have any suggestions? My dad would also like the computer to be as quiet and small as possible. Thanks for your help in advance!

That's terribly overpriced, as with all premades

You could get a 2500k w/ 6870 for that price

Nobody would get experience building a computer without doing it for the first time. Many decide to do just that after finding out how incredibly simple it is in this thread. But hey, being rude to someone giving you advice is a good plan too.

Most of the configurations you linked make me want to vomit without looking at the prices, and if you look at prices, they're all disgusting.

Edit button. Learn it, live it, love it. Two posts in a row is epic.

Let me narrow down the "rude" part since you're having trouble figuring it out.

That whole "no experience" bit pretty much makes the whole reply a smartass comment.

Heh, I thought the "obviously" part was a little snarky. Either way, we are all going to recommend buying your own components since installation is easy to pick up, if you have ANYBODY around you that is good with computers youll be able to pick it up in no time flat.
