  1. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2622803 Use this link as your resource. Startup Recovery will be your best option.
  2. If you're only gaming then go for the i5. i7 if you plan to do content creation/editing and a fair amount of multitasking.
  3. Most TVs use HDMI for their input. And HDMI 2.0 has been the standard for quite some time now. Almost any modern device will have the newest standard, and most cables on the market (even from a could of years ago) use the HDMI 1.4 specification which will have 18Gbps bandwidth.

  5. Gotcha. In that case, go for what works. CPU overclock isn't very cut and dry. When you buy a CPU, you basically take your chances in the silicon lottery. Some chips have absurdly low temperatures and great overclock ability, while others... Kinda struggle to keep temps down with higher voltages. With that said, I can share with you my current overclock settings when I get out of class so you can have a decent idea of what you can accomplish. Keep in mind if you're using that Corsair H100i, you will be able to get great temperatures WITH an overclock. I have a Corsair 200r case, and only have an H80i due to size constraints, so you will likely be able to get better stable overclocks than me.
  6. How many friends do you have on UPlay? Allegedly, the game tries to load your friends even if they're offline and it causes huge amount of CPU usage in this never-ending loop. (GG Ubi)
  7. Well, let's start with this. Throw your build on here... http://pcpartpicker.com/ Then with that said, remember you don't need a GAMING edition MOBO to get great performance and overclock capability. For instance, I have an ASUS Z97-A, and literally have zero complaints with it, and the UEFI BIOS is an awesome experience. Your PSU will work just fine, even with crossfire. If you're getting an unlocked processor and Corsair H100i, you would be spending money for no reason if you didn't overclock. (Answered 3 above) Go with lightning for the GPU. Remember that there are a lot of quiet low power case fans you can hook up to your rig to disperse that GPU heat.
  8. Did everyone get to see Luke's new video about CPU impact for gaming performance? It's on Vessel right now, I'd give it a look.
  9. That's cool man! What about your GPU though?
  10. More than likely, you will not need to do anything like that. In a situation where you have two partitions, it means you decided to take one piece of a hard drive or SSD and split it into two or more. If you've never done this, than you should have no extra partitions that need to be deleted.
  11. No way man. Sitting with the m65 right now, been using it since October. I've used two of these mice and have never had any moment where I was accidentally pressing the sniper button or had a situation where it got in the way.
  12. Just change the boot priority. Make the computer try to start up Windows from the flash drive, and it will load up the Windows installation ISO that you "burned" on there. Just make sure you follow the proper steps for burning a Windows installation disk on a flash drive. Feel free to look around the BIOS, even if you don't know where to look yet! Best plan of action is to become familiar with it as quickly as possible. Just so you know though, you won't have to dig too far to find where you change the boot priority.
  13. Both of these guys I have finished. I hope everyone knows that Nagi No Asukara was a super enjoyable series! It's one of those cute animes that evolve into something something much more heart wrenching and super addictive. I watched it as it premiered (both seasons) and it's one amazing and memorable journey!
  14. It feels like one of those things where if it's free, people will always consider it "subpar". I've been using Vipre since '09 and it's been good to me. But I got a great deal on a good few lifetime licenses.
