I only need 4gb of RAM, a GPU and a motherboard (Maybe an SSD). Just want to figure out what the best option would be.

I am currently employed at bestbuy, and as such I am eligible for the Intel Holiday Retail Edge deal. With that, I can purchase an i7 4790K for only $100 dollars, and would like to build a pc. 1. Budget & Location USA and I would like to spend about 400 total (Including the CPU). 2. Aim I plan to use it mainly for school work, which involves programming and working with large amounts of files at once. I also do some video and picture editing using premiere, photoshop and illustrator. Besides those functions, I also would like to do some light gaming. I currently play games like Rocket League, War Thunder, Space Engineers, Just Cause 2. I would like to possibly get into some other, more demanding games, like Just Cause 3, Battlefront and Fallout 4. 3. Monitors I want to run two 1080p monitors, and that should be it for the foreseeable future. 4. Peripherals Have all the peripherals I need, and I get a copy of windows 10 free through school. 5. Why are you upgrading? My current computer is a laptop with an AMD a8-4500m APU, and it can barely handle what I try to do. And the screen is dying. My main question is, how expensive of a motherboard do I need to properly support this cpu? I am not looking to spend a ton of money, but I think i need a motherboard with at least the H97 chipset. Would this be a good option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157512&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= Also, I would like to keep my gpu under 200. I know my CPU is way overkill for a GPU like that, but gaming isn't my main focus, and I am getting the CPU for really cheap. Any recomendations on a GPU? I already own a 500 watt 80+ bronze power supply, as well as a case. I also have a spare 4gb of ddr3 ram, and would purchase a second identical stick. I also already have a 1tb harddrive, so only other optional storage would be an SSD. Thanks for any help and suggestion!

How big of a screen and how much do you care about how portable it is? Do you plan on taking this to class with you?

My first phone was a Kin One M... It was garbage. Microsoft created this as a smartphone, and it ran some highly customized version of Windows CE, but it was extremely locked down so you couldn't install any apps or anything. It was so slow, and was a terrible basic phone with wifi. The web browser was IE mobile something and was so incredibly slow. After only 9 months with this piece of garbage I was able to use one of my family members upgrades and upgrade to a Droid Bionic, and that phone served me very well.

I have this power bank (found it on German Amazon), and it works great, and the price seems pretty good.

What do you guys think about this card being sold on the forums: http://linustechtips.com/main/index.php?app=classifieds&module=core&do=view_item&item_id=1458#overview

Have you considered trying T-Mobile Test Drive? They will ship you an iPhone for free (They do put a hold on your credit card tho), and let you test it for 7 days. This way you could get a good idea of what the coverage really would be. And yes, if you root there are methods to get around the tethering restrictions.

I was recently given a computer for free, and am looking to use it to upgrade from my current laptop. Right now I have an Acer laptop with an AMD A8 APU. The computer I was given is a Lenovo thinkcentre motherboard inside a big gaming case. It has a Core 2 Quad Q9500, 4Gb of DDR2, and a GT 630 GPU. I know the CPU is considerably faster than my current system, and was wondering what a good GPU for around ~$100 dollars would be to upgrade it too. I know I plan to upgrade to 8GB of ram and that will be around $40. Also any guesses on how performance on this system would be? Thanks for any suggestions.

Treible to hear this, but winning one of this would be amazing,

I am currently helping a friend with a build, and he has everything besides his cpu and motherboard with around left 200 in the budget. The CPU I am looking at is the AMD FX-8350 for 140, but from what I'm reading I ideally need a AMD 990FX chipset mobo to use it, or else I have to deal with BIOS updates and possibly not getting the full performance of the CPU. Is this true? Are there any specific motherboards for around 60 that would work well with this CPU, or should I get a more expensive 990FX mobo and the cheaper slower AMD FX-8320? Thanks for any help!

The case, it is so sweet looking.

dbrand looks sweet.

Sweet looking card. The design and cooler both are sweet.
