I have a question if I will be able to dual channel my memory on this board, because on the GB site my memory is not listed on a supported QVL list? I installed the components, but my psu, case and hard drive are yet to arrive - so I cannot check myself. | ||

I get over 120fps+ when playing SC2 but it looks just as smooth as when someone streams their game at 30fps. Basically, why does a 60fps sc2 stream look more smooth than my actual gameplay? A stream at 60fps will try to capture the screen every 16.67ms, whereas your game running wont have the luxury of having perfectly spaced out frames (and its difficult to display anyway due to monitor limitations). Its common to have etc a 10ms gap between frame 2 and 3, and then a 20ms gap between frames 3 and 4. There's also the issue with input lag, which is invisible when watching a stream, but felt a great deal when actually playing in many situations. You might also have lower FPS without realizing it, for example i have some ~300-320fps early game, but only ~25fps minimums in later game PvZ. Its particularly noticed and much much worse with a multi-GPU setup | ||

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883256039 I would use the computer to do some work things( AutoCAD, Illustrator, Sketchup) {im an architect} and don't really care about running games on high quality. I only really play LOL and WOT right now with the occasional SC2. Also, I need to get all the info from my existing harddrive onto this new computer so If anyone could link a video tutorial that would be most appreciated. | ||

 Would you (based on your decisions to OC, upgrade cycle, experience with the chip, experience with other cpus, etc) pay ~$50 for a 3-year warranty on an i5 3570k (from $215 to $265) and why? | ||

We obviously don't have the context needed to make such a decision for you. Why is there no warranty to begin with? What is the price of a retail 3570k? Condition of the processor? and so on. | ||

I was able to straighten them all but was unsuccessful to get my computer to re-boot. I'm not really sure what the issue could be as I'm not very knowledgeable with the inner workings of a computer. So maybe you guys can point me in the right direction to purchase a new tower? I'm looking to spend around $450. I found this on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883256039 I would use the computer to do some work things( AutoCAD, Illustrator, Sketchup) {im an architect} and don't really care about running games on high quality.

Copy/paste to another hard drive or literally just unplug the hard drive and plug it into the new system | ||

Why is there no warranty to begin with? What is the price of a retail 3570k? Condition of the processor? and so on. The price of a retail 3570k is $265, the processor is new. I'm not asking for a detailed analysis, I'm asking how confident you would be in buying the chipset warranty-less for yourself, for $50 (assuming you kinda cared about the $50). Would you if you'd OC? Would you not if you would not OC? Do you have experience with i5 ivy chips fucking up, or, on the other spectrum, it's unheard of for chips to fail randomly these days. I was... 'out of the loop' for a few years, I'm used to getting warranty on my shit and I'm asking how important is, in people's experience, for CPU's. English is not my native language, not sure how I can make it clearer. Thanks anyhow! | ||

Or VGA would also work but then you don't have speakers. | ||

Then he tried to do a password reset, but never got the email, so I guess someone hacked his account and then changed the email address linked to the account. But every method of contacting blizzard involves his email address. When he tried calling them, they detected his phone number (which hadn't been changed I guess) but then automatically sent a password reset (to the presumably hacked, now changed email). On the blizzard website https://us.battle.net/support/en/ all the solutions are circular and require him to put in his email address. Any advice? Call blizzard and try and speak to a real person, not an automated service. They can probably set up some kind of reset with his phone. That would be my guess, I don't know if that's possible. | ||
