    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.

    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.

    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.

    Curry got a reaction from cheeze_tartz in How do you install Windows? Help!   
    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.

    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.

    That should be it man!
     
    Everyone who's circlejerking about Sprint being suckish, I understand. But help this man out! I sell AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. I also personally have Sprint and have always had them. I've seen the slow data speeds and slow 4G LTE rollout, but I just got Sprint Spark in my area and get 25-30Mbps down and 5 up consistently. The building penetration on the 2500mhz band has been better than I anticipated considering it's made for high bandwidth and weak single over longer distances.

    I have spent a lot of time overclocking my 4790k, and if it ever restarts on you then you gotta fix the settings. Try lowing your overclock by one multiplier or perhaps adjusting the processor power intake to  around 1.4v to keep it happy.
