Here's an unrelated question, on a lot of the newegg consumer reviews of various different towers and motherboards, there are people complaining that the front USB or audio ports has static or causes their computer to short out. Since it's so common I was wondering if it's a manufacturers error...

You're probably right. The first 1 egg review is mentioning that you only get 900W usable because they put 200w on the 3.3v rail, or somesuch. I still don't like that price tag! Are there any other brands that are almost as reliable?

Somehow I am not following you on the psu thing. If I can get more watts by paying less, wouldn't that be good? Or is it that brand that is crap? Unless you can type something slowly, that I understand, I am not changing!:hide: Anyway, updating OP with new STUFFS!!

Wow, that looks like a really nice roomy mid size case, with a light switch! I might go for that one. Is there a reason you went with that PSU? I am asking because it's more expensive than the one I picked, ABS Majesty 1100w gold certified PSU. Also, your pick for a motherboard, is it better...

Aesthetically I like this NZXT Zero 2 full towerCase. $100 is pretty cheap for a full tower. Question is, is it a cheap piece of crap that will crumble to bits when I touch it?

I actually picked that PSU when I was looking up combo deals for the rosewill case. It was similar enough price as the other rosewill 800-1000w PSUs, but without the Christmas light show. The 800W gold certified one for $35 less, I'm sure would be fine. Other combos of PSU+case I was looking at...

Provided the Rosewill Blackhawk gaming mid tower would be enough size for all future needs, my total with the changes is $959.24+$15.02 shipping. So that's perfect! Of course, the reviews for that processor suggests getting a new fan and heatsink for it. But even if that is the case, I don't...

Switching to intel psu and mobo will put me over my $1000 limit. Even more so if I gotta switch the ram too. So I will have to downgrade some things for that to work. There is this recommended DVD player. Doesn't have blueray, but no biggie. $19 and good reviews is excellent. Might be able to...

Yes, I wanted to leave multi gpu a future possibility. Anyway, I'll start looking up the processor you suggested. If I switch to intel, will I have to change anything else other that mobo and ram? Or is the ram choice still fine too?

So I may buy a new computer sometime between 2 weeks from now and infinity. I already got Win7 64 bit, a hard drive and monitor, so don't need those. Also planning on using my old keyboard and mouse. Looking for everything else while staying under $1000! I have no experience with building my own...

Why does China even like North Korea? Us commies gotta stick together? Should be appearant to even China that North Korea is about as communist as a person eating a pork chop is a vegetarian. China needs to realize this relationship is crap and isn't gonna get better. They should totally dump...
