I'm on my second NVIDA GeForce GTX 970 graphics card in 3 years and it's starting to act strange like the first one did before crapping out. Do the newer graphics cards work OK with WIN 7 Pro 64bit? I'm assuming they should be backwards compatible, right? I'd like to try something other than...

kewL... I'm running 64 bit

From what I was reading, the compromise was only applicable to version 5.33.6162 Nothing has been said about there being a problem for previous versions.

But... if you wanted to keep using version 501, that shouldn't hurt anything right?

If one simply stayed with version 501... they would be safe, right? I usually go to the options on most software (except Firefox) and disable automatic updates so I can decide if and when it is updated.

I'm not really interested in doing water cooling. It should stay plenty kooL with several fans keeping the air moving and I don't care about fan noise.

Thanks for the lead for a case... I forgot about a heat sink. Any suggestions for something that will fit the CPU I'm getting?

OK, so speaking of towers... any suggestions on a full size tower with plenty of air flow to be able to cool and be big enough for the following: Intel i7-4930K LGA 2011 64 Technology Extended Memory CPU Processors BX80633I74930K...

OK thanks... so, what does the modular do? And, should I get a 1000 watt? Maybe 1200 watt?

Thanks! Tom's has some good info. Now, what about a good high quality power supply? Any recommendations for that?

Just wanted to bounce some idea off of the resident experts on building a nice, mildly high powered system intended to last for a few years (I do business stuff on it with graphics design, web design, office apps, lots of stuff running when I get busy during the day) Asus Rampage IV Black...

Been looking at a Lenovo laptop that is one of those ones that has Win 7 Pro 64bit installed when you get it, but has Win 8 license embedded I guess on the mobo so it's ready to upgrade to 8 which I'm not interested in doing. My question is this... how do I obtain the license keys for the copy...

Great! I've already found a 4 pack of games over on Amazon after seeing one of the titles on the page you linked to... so she'll be a happy little camper, at least until she starts wanting more expensive stuff which won't be long. I had kinda wanted her to want to know more about doing things...

It looks like that is an online game and I was wanting a game that loads on to the computer since she is not old enough to go online for obvious reasons.

We gave our little grand daughter my wife's old laptop (Windows XP that still runs just fine) when we upgraded, and now grand daughter wants to know if I can find a Sponge Bob Square Pants game to put on the laptop. My preliminary search did not find anything to load on to a PC, so if anyone...
