I wouldn't call it Frankenstein but I upgraded my old ass laptop from 1GB of RAM to 1.5 for like 5 bucks. Ultimately pretty pointless but what's done is done.

What do you do when you're sick of having a tower on your floor or desk? YOU BUILD THE PC INTO YOUR DESK, SUCKA!

I am now slamming my head against the keyboard from your comment!

and you are entitled to your opinion. But blanket statements saying "all AMD is shit" is misinforming.
 
Also, getting an i5 in this price range is shooting yourself in the foot. An Core i3 or FX 6300 with a bigger GPU would be stronger in gaming then a i5 with a gimped GPU....
 
FX setup -> CPU can, depending on the game/program, be inbetween the i3 4160 and the i5 4460....

I could have grabbed a cheaper and shittier mobo, but i chose to grab a more fancy one because honestly, i wouldnt bother buying cheap mobo for my own PC....

Like seriously, that is the most naive comment i have read in a while.... at lower end budgets like this, AMD has a purpose

I'd probably just try and buy a replacement second hand or through Asus support if they wanna help out. Not sure how well any adhesive or glue would work given the heat that thing will have to endure, but I could be wrong and glue or something might actually work.

as an exclusive nvidia user. i back this.
 
i use nvidia for their drivers, because i got used to them, and i'm not too fond of change.
and for me, energy usage is a REALLY important thing, because the only way to regulate temperature in my room is window open and window closed.
 
and a less energy hogging card also means it's easier to cool them, allowing my computer to be more quiet. (which is another really important thing to me personally)

As a 970 owner, unless power consumption or and Nvidia feature like G-Sync or Shadow Play or what have you is super important to you a 390 would be my choice if i was buying right now. It performs better and has the full performance of all 4GB of it's VRAM.
 
If you really want the 970 (still a kick ass card) you may as well get it now, it's definitely been out for a while but don't expect bigger price drops for a while since the next series isn't out yet and there's probably not gonna be anything from Nvidia coming out in that section of their price bracket anytime soon.

More specifically, it transmits data like how hard you're pushing down on the Pencil when you're drawing so it automatically creates the appropriately sized "tip" in the application. The Pencil has sensors inside. http://www.apple.com/apple-pencil/

i am suprised as hell that it worked.

wtf kind of bs is that? 2 monitors don't use more power, games mostly run off of a single monitor unless its configured in the graphics card control panel, ultra wide means more pixels which means more gpu power to run off of 1 monitor
 
so unless he's going to play games on two monitors which is very unlikely because of the screen's bezel, he will need more juice, 
 
ultra wide when it comes to gaming it will need more juice anyways unless you're running 1080p windowed. 

So are the red Linus tech tips shirts limited editions now

It won't be fixed for a while. Until September apparently http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/07/disastrous-pc-port-of-batman-arkham-knight-wont-be-fixed-until-september/

wow neato!  how does this fit into your case though?

I knew it was tie. I just refuse to acknowledge it. Tee eye is way cooler.

CPU and RAM can both take quite a bit of heat before anything bad happens, SSD might pose an issue However, the CPU cooler makes sense since it's a giant thermal conductor so I doubt you'd see any problems from the rest.

Hello I'm building a 500 doller pc for 1080p med to low settings gaming I will be building on my wood table in my kitchen with tile floor with anti static ankle band http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Proclassniper/saved/DcY7YJI will be ordering blue white version of that case and will be ordering it from tigerdirect and everything else on newegg

Christmas came early when Intel sent me TWO Xeon E5 2699 v3 Processors for our new rendering server. Once they arrived I giddily got to put one through its paces...

maybe 1600 on core, you will never get them exact same cause you are missing rop and what not.

Unplug the machine. Then reseat the memory modules and see if it boots up.
