Is my pc build correct and balanced

Go to solution Solved by stconquest,

@Ethan supabass

 

I made a small mistake on the motherboard.  It was fine, but was missing one thing:  a USB 3.0 header.  You could use it, but the front USB 3.0 port on the case will not be USB 3.0 compliant.

 

 

I switched it up a bit.

 

$1037 before taxes:

How did you solve the power supply problem by taking out of the case?

Where are the fans connected?

Reinstall your OS.

The problem is that the pic won't react no matter what I do and even I plugged in the flash drive with os in it and I also got a external did reader and it have the win 7 DVDs comes this the key

I can't help you unless you give me solid information.

 

Take your time and explain everything you are doing and any problems.  I know people get bad parts sometimes, but I have never had a failing PSU... or any part... out-of-the-box.

I suspect it does help. 

 

Yes and no. 

 

Since I don't do content creation, I don't have particular information off the top of my head.  Every program uses hardware a little differently.  Some can use CUDA(Nvidia), some OpenCL(AMD), some just CPU.

 

Search whatever program your using and find out if it has OpenCL support for whatever task you want.

Hey, I need a new hard drive since I constantly have less free space than my cell phone (32GB). So, do you think hard drive is  good:

or anything better once you've found.

Thank you.

How does having less free space on your 32GB cell phone have anything to do with buying a hard drive for your PC?

 

That link is to a US store.  Try these:  http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/parts/internal-hard-drive/#t=7200&S=1000000,10000000&sort=a10&page=1
