Brehs if you ever go like a week or so without having cutting on a PC game, when you finally do go back to it it's like night and day. I haven't played nothing since TLOU came out really and last night I turned on Sonic Racing to try out this DLC I copped and my god the 60fps and 1080P clarity damn near made me bust a nut.

Brehs my internet is fukkin unbearable at this point, and the only way for it to get better is for the phone company to come and rewire the house. FPS are kicking me left and right, cant watch a YouTube video without dedicating an afternoon, and at this point I have a HD setup and no way of actually getting HD quality media. This must be remedied before BF4.

Brehs need some help building my first PC (bear w/ me):
Specs:
AMD A8-3850 processor
MSI A55m-p33 mobo
Roswell r363-m-bk case w/ power supply (400w)
seagate 500 gb hdd
4gb ddr3

SO first problem I ran into was the power supply didnt work, used an old one and got everything started. Fans were running, hd was buzzing but when I connected to the monitor, no video signal. Im pretty sure everything is connected correctly. The cables work on other monitors. Idk where go from here. I read that the mobo is defective or the ram is defective. Whatcha yall think?

Where to start hmm your using a Apu which means ur using onboard graphics. Make sure ur ram Is properly seated. Think amd apu uses pins so its impossible to seat it wrong. You said everything powers up just no display I would take out the ram and reseat it. Some parts on a pc can be skim out on but your rolling bad dice using that rosewill case and psu.. Some rosewill is good just not that a bad psu can ruin ur parts.

Or internet provider I should say, but i get both through AT&T so thats why i said that. No matter what though the wiring in my house needs to be upgraded for anything faster than DSL

I used to almost get my ass beat if i was on AOL for more than 15 minutes

I will buy one of these when I swap my proc out, but check the reviews out first as there are couple of companies that make them. All-in-one units are quiet and also give you room to OC. I have a giant heat sink and they are a bytch to install, so if money is no problem then get it.

Yea The Hyper 212 is a great cooler that Antec kulor isn't special. If they want top of the line that Noctural D-12 is the truth.

I think i need to cop a new case....

Fractal Design R4 one of the best cases out high end features for a good price.
