I was gonna say the same I have the 650W and one of the reviews said he has an i7 oc'ed to 4ghz , 4 hdd and 2 GPU OCed as well if I remember right... running through benchmarking.. it got hot Obviously thats to much for 24/7 work but it goes to show the PSU can handle it for an extended period of time!!! I have the non modular version which I love but http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139012&cm_re=corsair_modular-_-17-139-012-_-Product for 10 bucks more than the 750 you get a nice modular PSU that will handle your components just fine!!

I did that nothing unusual came up.. I havent had a blue screen since my last post so I cant update on the failure yet... I disabled the auto restart as suggested... waiting for the critical error now.. I have steam running and its redownloading all my game which will take days awesome!!! thkx for the help so far!!

just not the best prebuilder out there, Ive had bad experiences but not as bad as emachine or compact I guess... Id stick to dell, hp, sony but thats me.. im no expert someone might have better insight

thats another issue it restarts by itself.. usually when I had bsod in the past I had to restart which gave me time to write down the code.. in this case it stays up for about 5-6 seconds and restarts so I cant really write down. Im thinking of trying to trigger it with my camera next me and take a pic.. EDIT after the last BSOD I was able to install steam and run it!! Next I will run my virus scan see if I get another BSOD.. EDIT it just did it again before I even started the scan.. i was just importing a cd to itunes... I guess next step is finding a way to get the error code.. but the screen seriously stays up less than 5 secs...

So I was peacefully playing JB thursday night... I was tired so I closed the game... I get one of these HL2 error blah blah... Im used to it.. it has happened several times.. I just click ok and move one with my life next time the game just opens...well this time around thing took a drastically different turn RIGHT after I click ok or what ever usually closes the message I got a BSOD restart goes fine... as its opening steam BAM BSOD again... I restart and prevent steam from opening... I start a virus scan and malewarebite scan just in case and go to sleep cause there was a very long day ahead and it was very late.. Next morning I find out that it BDOSed when it was scanning I guess.. I had to leave for work..went out after work got home, went to bed, repeat on saturday.. So here we are sunday night I dont believe it has BDOS for a while I try to run steam and it say program has stopped running and these is a close button... it did that a few times I uninstalled - reinstalled steam same thing keeps happening I decide to just update my iphone... I had been using my comp for several hours messing with music, iphone SSHing and shit NO BSOD.. anyway at 1:00 AM (now monday morning) my antivirus has an auto scan that initiates.. I decide to post this to see if anybody has insight and around 1:10am BAAMMM fucking BSOD as Im writing this... restart steam still DOESNT start...antivirus is booted but not scanning... SO WTF IS GOING ON???? it seems to me the bsod is related to steam but it seems my anti virus might also be involved... Im quite clueless at this point and will try to reinstall steam again... the only thing that has chaged in the past week is the last windows update fucked up my windows and said it was no longer genuine but that was quickly fixed with wratheks help... Its frustrating me badly!!

dont buy gateway please!

do you know how I know your gay???

you deserve more respect than most people that posted here... you suck at PB and take shit to seriously but that might be what makes you a better person than most!

did you read the first post??? and that sucks you got jacked 114 bucks.... and most their prices are outrageously high..some outrageously low... nothing seems to prices right in the laptop section...fail site is fail!

I understand that but lets be honest here OCZ does have a name its not like some of these other brands out there with 30 dollar 700 watts PSUs... in fact I looked it up on jonnyguru knowing thats what you would have said and for that particular model had had ok things to say... not the best but not the worst! Im not arguing with you, I totally agree Im just making a point that it was not such a bad idea originally and though the PSU was decent it was not nearly the quality of a corsair and the extra 60 bucks were well worth it! I wasnt going crazy here that was the one btw: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341016&cm_re=OCZ_psu-_-17-341-016-_-Product

If im in the same situation where im lacking money I might go for something cheaper! I didnt really loose money cause I needed a psu for my dell computer ayway so I just put it in there and it does the job just fine!!

this is off topic...

the very first time I got abused on Island escape!! jacksparrow and that one chick (cant remember her name think it started with an R) were teleporting themselves to the island... than bay sup kicked me for shooting rocks when i didnt so I was mad!! I though what an ass... thats when I joined and realized there was a lot of nice people other than that

its 5000 peni feg!

lol fail phone!! one day you'll be accepted in the kool kids Klub! new kkk!

I know I know.... But I had to try it out for myself!!! and its not just the PSU. That worked decent..but the cable are super short which made the whole modular thing useless!!! Their customer support sucks and I RMAed it and they sent me back a lower model of the one I originally sent in.. While I was waiting for it I decided to just go ahead and buy the Corsair 650 (non modular unfortunately) but the cable are so long its awesome to play with and works solid! I think I just started getting BSOD yesterday... havent looked into it yet...

The camera sucks (well not really but I like SLRs) but besides that its not a bad deal! The laptop is nice prolly will be able to play source games with mediocre graphics and the TV is decent for a small room! I like it!!

oh god... riggs... OCZ psu fails...been there...

x58 use tri channel as you know... I would have gone 6GB from the start.. OCZ has a name but not the greatest...tbh I think youll eventually regret buying that PSU! I dont know how much you saved but 6 GB from OCZ is pretty cheap that with a 650W corsair PSU would have been plenty power and just as cheap!

whats your average??? From the sounds of it it seems like your having issue with connectivity... you should not be lagging ever playing with that GPU on lower settings...you sess up somewhere

if you were a real friend youd build it.... gaaaayyyyy hp is gay!!

^I liked the potted plant suggestion forget about the hookers!!! Save a little more and buy yourself a fleshlite you'll get a lot more fucking out of it!!!

What about swiss cheese???? Swiss cheese has holes!! The more cheese you have the more holes you have!!! The more holes you have the less cheese you have!!! So the more cheese you have the less cheese you have!!! Makes sense to me!! CHEEZE IT!!!

Where can I read this for myself... and if that is true Gigabite and asus (especially gigabite) needs to start making good looking boards cause that blue, green and yellow shit doesnt cut it anymore!! they are ugly as fuck!! And yeah the cooler I thoughts so too...tbh you dont need one the i core series runs quite cool stock! and for the card idc what he chooses as long as its a 57** or 58** series nvidia (lower power and lower temp is better for his project than a fermi would be)

Actually Im interested to see where your coming from with the "shitty nVidia board" because they get good reviews and more people are using them..some of these people are very good with computers.. I know gigabyte and asus have led the market along with msi but it seems nvidia is cracking down with their which are esthetically WAAAYYYY more attractive!!! EDIT I posted this thinking of EVGA board is that what you were referring to?? @TOXIN your build is good. I would go with an ATI card if I were you or a fermi...260 is old technology by now.. dx11 and eyefinity is the new shit!! EVGA boad is good imo some people have mixed opinions the i7 930 is a great CPU obviously but I think I would sacrfice its greatness and get an i5 750 and invest more in the GPU!!!! or SSD You PSU is good but I still prefer Corsair for one the name, for two they are much nicer looking!!! It counts when you have a window!!! the antec 300 might tight but is a nice case!!! for the HDD Id go with the WD caviar black 640GB it really has excellent reviews!!
