  1. Yea,Never use Amazon or EBAY for quotes when trying to sell,Ebay is an auction site and Amazon is half new/half auction site. did you notice under the AD "3 used $399" LOL
  2. Last one was a Corsair AX1200,awesome PSU,just sold that system and now running a Corsair HX850i,you can never have :too much"Besides ,a lot of them have there peak efficiency @ 50-60 % load.And never buy a Cheap no name brand,This is the single most important component you will put in your Rig.
  3. If In Canada Kijiji, I would never use Craigslist,just my Personal opinion.Ebay ,but then it costs you.
  4. All depends @WittyNameHerereally,anything,new or used could break at any time, I lucked out about 3 years ago, I picked up 3 used Gigabyte 7950 Boosts for $375 CDN for all 3,sold 1 the next day for $175,right before the "Bitcoin" thing, after that you couldn't find one for under min $300 a piece.SO basically 2 3G 7970 Boosts for $200,they have been rock solid all this time. Hell, I still think they were in a Bitcoin rig for some reason even before I got them.Recently I have been buying a lot more "used" parts and haven't had a failure to date.
  5. That board does not support a 220watt CPU,best it supports is the 8370. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/970-PRO-GAMING-AURA/HelpDesk_CPU/
  6. Very well,TY I used the OP's Quote and replied to you! You recommended he wait's for ZEN,after he posted he has only 10 days to be online.Now do you get it?
  7. Zayir "My work requires me to go online in 10 days. Cant wait for ZEN. " Didn't read everything huh!
  8. Yea,POS boards and you already have him at $450 for just the CPU,He asked for $300 for both!
  9. So where do you usually get your PC parts from?
  10. $300 for BOTH CPU AND Mobo! The 6700K alone is $454 US at Newegg. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117559
  11. LOL Where are you from Zayir so we know what $ to use.
  12. 1st thing your gonna get is "buy an Intel" comment

  14. I have the Corsair 450D and it's fine .A pic before I started the wiring,and It uses 2 brackets behind the mobo for SSD's.I came from a HAF 932 and really miss all the space It had.But wanted to keep a coupls 5.25 drives for my Blue ray drive and fan controller,That Phanteks does look cool also though.
  15. That's nice! My 8350 runs BF4 MP 64 player on ultra 1920 X 1200 @ 100fps avg with 7950's in crossfire as did my old P2 1100T,nice try though
  16. FX-8370e vs FX-8370 FX-8370e vs FX-8370 CPU-World
  17. mmm..No,Crossfire 7950 boosts and have yet to bottleneck my 1100T or my FX 8350. They are not as bad as some would make them out to be,however if I was doing a new build now,of course I would have to go with Intel,But I have yet to have any issues with my AMD CPU's so far,Crossfire has also been great,especially in the BF titles which gives almost 100% scaling. But I am most likely at the top of what I would run (GPU)with my CPU's.
  18. I've had 2 of these: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7RD2WW8809 for 3 years and have worked flawless.1 powers my monitors and Modem,the other powers the PC. 550 wat psu means nothing.Thats just what your PSU is rated at.
  19. The minimum recommended CPU is an Intel Core i5 3570 and the Recommended is a Intel Core i7 3820 Forza 3 system specs Try it 1st and see how it plays on what you have as it_dont_work said.
  20. Exactly,right now I am drawing close to 200W at idle without monitors and power saving features off, One of my upc's shows 30min runtime,(my monitors are plugged into the other) With power saving features on I could possibly get an hour outta it. But these are only designed to give you time to shut down.(or game a little longer hoping power comes back) But as SysAdmininTraining suggested,for all out complete usage of your computer,only a generator will work
  21. At the time I bought mine,they had the best reviews out.
  22. I have been using 2 of these: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7RD2WW8809&cm_re=CP1500AVRLCD-_-42-102-048-_-Product for about 3 years,we also get storms here and power outages. The PSU wattage means nothing,It all depends on what your system draws as to how long they will run. I have never unplugged my system and everything is fine.
