Level 2 and 3 for a gpu?

Like...what could he possibly be trying to convince you is the problem...

Don't you still have those 780ti's...? Should be a wrap after you tell him that when you pop the ti's back in place you don't have any issues...

That's what I thought too. The 780tis fixed all my problems. fukking nvidia...

First thing you should do with any place that sales custom made gaming machines is check the return policy...

Often times they have things in them like...if it cost x amount of dollars you can't return it no matter what...if something get's damaged in shipping you can't return it no matter what...if you open the case you "void" the builders warranty and then they are not liable to fix anything...

Second thing...build it yourself...it is not hard...shyt nowadays most computer components only go in one way so it is almost impossible to break something during a build...

Third thing...if you are too shook to build...look around locally where you stay...you should have at least 1 computer shop that will put a rig together for you...all you got to do is buy the parts...

If you don't build number 3 is the best option because if something is wrong with the machine you can take it back to a local place yourself and often times they will have warranties on their work...and you don't have to worry about your PC flopping around on a UPS truck...you don't ever want a PC anywhere near a UPS truck for any reason...

Last year I had to step in and help a friend when he bought an Ibuypower gaming pc that was built with a shytty psu and cabled horribly...amongst other things...then when he sent it back to them they sent it right back to him doing absolutely nothing saying that "shipping caused these issues and we are not responsible for shipping you will have to talk to UPS"...

Thanks for the advice bruh. It's kinda strange cause I feel it's the opposite for most people but the technical aspect of building a computer I'm damn confident in, been tearing up prebuilt PC's for years. Just the aspect of actually like knowing what I want, whats actually good quality, if the parts are compatible,etc is where I'm hesitant in.

As far as parts, I always go with what has worked for me so far...a combo of asus board + intel cpu + nvidia gpu + asus brand of nvidia gpu + samsung 800 series SSD plus + Corsair RM power supply has always worked well for me...



Outside of that...best thing to do is google things like "i7 4770k gtx 980"...see what pops up...

Well, since my computer life is a series of mishaps, y'all might find this funny. All 3 of my Asus 1440p monitors got the dreaded displayport issue (apparently it's a common problem. Probably shoulda looked into them more before I bought them ). Don't buy ASUS PB278Q monitors. They're cheapish for 1440p monitors, but the displayport fukks up on newer cards. Just my luck

Fortunately it was within 30 days, so I got all my money back.

Now back to square one on monitors again. I already miss my 3X1440p. I think I'm gonna go dell (those rarely fukk up).

It's just one disaster after another around here. All I can do is laugh at this point. My two RMA'd Titan Xs will probably be fukked up when they arrive too. There better not be any fukking artifacting with these new cards

Why you keep doing this to yourself?

Why you keep doing this to yourself?

Because it just might work one day. I can feel it. And if it does, it'll be glorious

Pc gaming is stressful. If I get anymore problems, I think I'm calling it quits. There's only so much one can take.

Dell 1440p monitors are some of the highest rated monitors

The asus 144hz and asus 1440p (not rog swift) have been causing problems for tons of people through displayport. Something is wrong with asus and displayport

dang, i got family in orlando and none of them work at any parks. we're going to be there for 12 days - 7 days strictly for disney world, 2 days for universal studios and one day for sea life world. since i got the tickets out of the way, i need to hurry up and reserve my hotel by august.

ive never been down south or east so this will be interesting. im on a mission to pick up one of those disney dress up broads hopefully pocahontas or mulan up for the task.
