Thank you to both of you. Is there a specific type of thermal paste I should get? What about remover? Also, I may very well choose to get a dedicated you regardless. Could either of you recommend one? Again, thank you both.

Below this post is what I have for my custom PC. I'm sorry if there's unnecessary info in here. Please let me know if anything is missing. For months, I would have occasional trouble with streaming videos. Often they would come up as a green screen, and other times they would make my computer...

Thanks a.sprecic. I went to the boot menu and noticed that from THERE, it is recognized that my blu-ray drive exists. I also noticed that the SATA port it was in was listed as disabled. I enabled it and restarted my computer. Although the disc drive no longer immediately shuts, Windows still...

This my set up AMD A10-5700, Silverstone SST-PS07B - System Build - PCPartPicker Windows tech support confirmed it was not a software problem. Here's where I stand. Before just now, the disc drive would open, the power light would come on, and it would take discs, but Windows would not...

Hey everyone, I just built my computer that was made with help from you guys on this site. This is the build that I ended up with... AMD A10-5700, Silverstone SST-PS07B - System Build - PCPartPicker Here are some pictures of my unit ImageShack Album - 17 images Here is another thread where...

Can anyone weigh in on what they think the best software for video editing, sound editing, sound recording, and photo editing is? I'm thinking about getting photoshop for picture, and final cut for video. Are those bad choices? I want to know the absolute best, regardless of cost. Also, does...

Well if the rosewill works then that's $504 dollars, excellent! I guess now I just need to find a decent monitor, mouse, keyboard, and wifi card. If I can round the total deal off with $800 then I'm set. Shouldn't need much else right? Thanks again Mguire! edit- http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ohlf...

Hey there Mguire, first of all, thank you for coming back and for all of your help, I don't know where I'd be without you at this point. After your last post, I went out and started reading "building" guides, and I've learned a lot. With the HDMI issue. So I guess I would just have one of...

Thanks so much for the help. This is what I came up with Processor- AMD Phenom II Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ965FBGMBOX the problem is, I want a mother board that has at least one USB 3.0, and an HDMI port. I can't find...

Hey guys, hows it going? I made a thread here about 4 years ago, asking about how to make a gaming PC. A lot of people pitched in and helped me find parts, which I was very grateful for. Unfortunately, I was never wble to get around to making it. This time, I'm determined, because I have no...

Could you recommend a good DVD drive that would be compatible with all this? Sorry, I'd pick one myself, but I don't quite understand compatibility.

Sorry, I'm still learning. The reason I want the Blu ray drive is because it's the top technology right now... but I'm thinking since games and programs don't come on it yet, and because it's still a developing technology, I might as well get a cheap DVD/CD RW drive and wait for the prices to go...

Hmm, how much would I have to spend if I wanted to instead go for 6 GBs DDR3 Ram, and a slot load BD drive, and a motherboard with an HDMI port? I also don't want the Blu ray disc to force me to cut down on the other products, and I want the computer to have an SD memory card slot (one that can...

I live in Monmouth County New Jersey. And yeah, Ive heard that Newegg is the best. So the size of ram isn't the only thing that's important? What should I know when making choices?
