Go to solution Solved by Megazero,

I have a gtx 660 and intel core i5 3330 (no cooler)

Anyone want to help pick out (new) parts for the rest of the computer? No peripherals needed.

I have ram but might be faulty.

Squeezing...

I like this, but you can't trust a biostar motherboard. $150 is not enough for this at all.

I could just find like an ASRock or ASUS board.
