  1. Are you fucking kidding me........ I threw the amazonbasics hdmi cable on the floor, grabbed my playstation 4 hdmi cable, just out of curiosity to see if it would work. and yup, it comes right on. This is the FOURTH time an amazonbasics cable of some type has failed on me.
  2. Just bought a Samsung 4K tv. My PC is detecting the TV, but there is no display/signal coming through the TV. GPU is a 780 HoF, which is HDCP compatible. Uninstalled then reinstalled drivers. On the back of TV, I've tried HDMI 1 port, which says "STB/DVI". I've tried the HDMI 2 port which says MHL, I've tried HDMI 4, which says nothing. I've ignored the 3rd HDMI port cause it says "ARC", which I'm pretty sure is not what I need. Ideas?
  3. I'm having a lot of trouble deciding between an R9 390 or Fury. I'll be custom watercooling either one, so just not sure which has more potential @Numbafieve I might just go with a 390 then, and overclock that bad boy as much as I can. Could eventually get a second one as well
  4. Admittedly I haven't been keeping up with the Fury launch. I thought I remember them saying the voltage was locked at release Was I drunk then? Are they totally overclockable now?
  5. @Praesi @SirRoderick Appreciate you looking out for me. Few months I'm also going to upgrade to an R9 Fury. Think I'm done with nvidia for a while.
  6. Was actually leaning towards the Acer. I've bought plenty of ASUS hardware in the past, but some reason I keep hearing anecdotes of people with really bad bleed or glow. Very poor quality control.
  7. It's come down to these two, and I'm indecisive on which one to get. I'm sure they're not much different for IPS visuals, so I suppose I should ask what the level of backlight bleed or glow you have on yours.
  8. The 2400mhz is incredibly appealing for an APU system. Always wanted to build one of those...
  9. Actually good point. I want to support AMD anyway. Also I want to try AMD as well
  10. @Comic_Sans_MS would it be unwise to use a g3258 cpu as a substitute? or should I really go for 4 cores
  11. Yea sorry all, I should've been a lot more clear on how extremely casual my dad is on his PC. Check the news, check yahoo stories (apparently people still go to yahoo lol) plays some solitaire. His installed programs list is super minimal, also he's still on Windows XP, his monitor is an old crt one too hah!! Although this isn't to say that I hope I get my dad more and more interested in PC, then I can slowly upgrade over time. That'd be awesome.
  12. Perfect. Exactly what he needs. Appreciate the help of everyone else, but you're overestimating what my Dad does. He doesn't even know what "Tabs" are in a browser. 250gb hdd is more than enough heh
  13. My dad's PC is ancient! But he's never complained about it! So many issues, goes so slow, never whines about it though, I think it's time he deserves something decent. Literally all he does is browse the web, watch Yahoo videos (I'm trying to convince him to start using netflix and amazon prime), plays Solitaire, and very old CD rom games like Oregon Trail, and Classic Card games. I can get pretty cheap on the build here, right? $200? If that?
  14. The weirdest part I find is the fact that it's not doing specific beeps for it
  15. Can the gpu be dead if fans still spin? My theory was the pci slot is a dead
  16. I actually attend college and also work as a custodian there as well. Every single room uses PC's, except for the graphic design room, loads of mac's in there.
  17. OK I'm worried about this, what do you mean? My friend took a pic of him power connector in his case and it looks exactly like modern ones with two holes
  18. Let's just say my friend is on a very very tight budget, and his PC case is from 1998. Was the ATX form factor the same back then? Also is it unwise to use a case from 1998 lol
  19. I know that it probably doesn't matter much, but which i3 exactly should I get...? The price difference can be $40 between the older ones and newer ones. I dunno if the performance gain (I'm assuming it's minimal) is worth it??
  20. Newegg and Amazon for average parts. I miss Frozencpu so much. I use PerformancePCS though
  21. Bought a PS3 a month ago, played it on the first day haven't touched it since. Bought a Wii U seven months ago, played it the first week with family, haven't played since. Just always end up going back to my PC.
