Killing FLOOR.

And I don't say that to be an ass, but because there's actually a Killing Room game I'm interested in:

That's a great price for KF2 though, $10.99 might be the lowest ever. Never heard of Gamebillet, but they have good prices on other stuff.

Fixed! (Thanks for pointing it out.)

Yeah, I've never heard of them but they are listed on isthereanydeal so I figured they are more reputable than some sites.

GTA V (non-Steam) is 59% off at Gamersgate. If you bought ZGold with the bonus and pay with ZGold it could be $15 or cheaper which would be an all time low.

About time there's a deal topping the $20 GTA5 PC (RSSC Version) deal double-stack (GTA5 game was 50% off on sale at $40 + then a 50% V-Day Coupon to drop it down to $20 in the end) from Direct2Drive on V-Day 2016.

Looks like my mobo dying was only the tip of the iceberg. First my connections been running at ~1-2 Mbps for around two weeks now with frequent disconnects, then PC wouldn't boot to Windows or safe mode forcing me to reinstall everything using aforementioned connection, finally Windows stopped accepting my old password until I fixed it by messing around in the registry through the WinRE command prompt. I just want to play Rocket League's new dropshot mode with a ping below 500ms and without my PC exploding.

tl;dr AT&T and Windows 10 are poop.

Sorry about your ongoing troubles. I can empathize as most probably can, too.

Did you test your main boot drive? I ask because that might be the underlying cause of the random OS-related issues/corruption you're experiencing. If it's a mechanical drive you can try running a diagnostic test from the manufacturer, or run a chkdsk. If it's an SSD you can check SMART data w/ CrystalDiskInfo and also run a tool called SSD Life. Also, when you replaced your motherboard was it the same model? If not there might have been conflicts between your old chipset drivers and the new board that could lead to all those random problems (I'm not sure about this).

Either way good luck and hope things work out.

Better still, we can finally announce when G2A Deal Edition #2 is coming. Brace yourselves, here it comes. G2A Deal #2 will start on March 30, 2017.

A new feature for this Edition is a G2A Goldmine support, so bring in your friends and get more out of the Deal.

Goldmine = referrals spam everywhere....
 
I installed a new cooler last night, going from a Corsair H60 to an H100i v2 with a 240mm radiator.  First off, it was immediately obvious when I was disassembling that I didn't need to do this -- turns out the H60 radiator was blanketed in dust under the fan.  I could have cleaned it out and put it back and it would have dropped temps but I already had the new one sitting on my floor for ten days and my case open.  Secondly, a 240mm radiator doesn't actually fit anywhere in my case.  But the top of the case has an 'attic' for mounting fans and, once I cut away a bracket to make space and took some stuff out of my computer, I could slide the radiator up and through and rest it on top, screwing fans in from below.  Finally, blowing giant clouds of dust out of your system while suffering from bronchitis is a really bad idea. 

Final result looks like a mess but it works.  Can run P95 for several hours and max out temps at 63C.  Now, do I just enjoying knowing that my system will stay frosty or do I say "Hey, now I have more overhead for a larger overclock?"  :whistle2:k

Was checking out the new trailer and features of the Bulletstorm re-release and saw G2A as a listed retailer to purchase the PC version.

I had to do a double-take when I saw that lol

That's the cost if you want to G2A blacklist your product on marketplace.

They offered IndieGala deal that they blacklist keys from their bundles, if they use G2APay.

That ended up going as well as expected.

Microids, Superhot Team have deals with G2A too, soo I'll wait until Bulletstorm is G2A Deal'd I guess.

 
"Advertise us as a verified retailer or else we'll allow stolen copies of your product to be sold in our marketplace."

Seems legit.

Shadiness aside, it's hard to argue with G2A's enormous reach and presence in the "gaming influencers" market.  It was smart on their end to relentlessly push affiliates onto youtube/twitch folks to develop their brand.  For an indie game dev, they can hope their game will somehow stand on its own merits in the Steam wasteland or fall into the inevitable black hole of shitty publishers and bundlers.  If they can get their game promoted by G2A and correspondingly into the hands of the army of G2A affiliate confederates, there's a decent chance the game could actually sell some copies. 

Indiegala has their own dreams of becoming a publisher.  Getting friendly with the mafia a totally legitimate distribution and marketing behemoth not afraid to extort politely encourage the competition to fall in line or get whacked accept their G2Acoins totally legitimate currency exchange might be an offer they can't refuse good for business.

Yeah, that was my first thought. Drive is a 500GB 850 Evo that I got around half a year ago and it seems to be fine. The motherboard is a new model, but I did a clean install when I got it. Everything appears to be running okay right now, aside from the fact that I've been unable to install the anniversary update. Keeps falling at 30% with the error message:

"0xC1900101 - 0x30018
The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP operation"

Have tried clean boot, disabling AV, removing all USB devices, uninstalling drivers, using standalone ISO while disconnected from network, etc. Gonna try to force it through RegEdit today before doing another clean install. Also annoying that the built-in option to defer driver updates doesn't work. Had to do it manually to prevent Windows from automatically installing their broken AMD drivers.

Weird. Searching the web for that error code makes it look like a driver conflict, but your troubleshooting efforts should have averted this. According to this Technet post,

So it seems there is a driver conflict somewhere, perhaps with your board (maybe a BIOS update would help?). One thing I've seen is that you can try resetting Windows Update components before the installing the Anniversary Update. I don't use Win 10 but maybe there's a way to integrate the AU into your installation media so you don't have to do the upgrade separately from installing the OS.

I vomited when I read this. You win sir.

Was gonna go 7700k but alas the 1700 (which clocks up to 1800x and is better than the 1700x) only runs a couple frames less in most games and even more in some games like Bf1 (in 1440p)

Better "future proofing" too.

Choose 1 color, not two; if possible of course. ;D

@DickBurden: Nice specs. Jealous of the 1080. Why not Z270? Reusing? 

@FissFiss: Agreed, unless the second color is white.

A friend helped me with the build. He's a pretty intense hobbyist so he always has lots of components around and I just built the best rig I could with what he made available for the money I paid him.

Yeah, I've also updated the BIOS and cleaned out the WU folders. Updates are integrated into the latest ISO. Doing a clean install with it now.

Grats on the new system! How much did you spend? About $1400?
Click to expand...
It's hard to pin an exact number since I salvaged a few components from my old pre-built and I should be able to sell my old GPU, but all in all I probably spent about $800. My friend gave me a great deal on the pieces he provided.

My offer still stands. I guess it pays to have friends.
 
Am I the only one that dislikes LEDs somewhat? Nice build though. I'm running close to 6 TBs and i still don't have enough disk space lol.

You could turn that CPU cooler and have CORSAIR the correct way...it won't hurt the tubing or decrease the performance

Also your picture doesn't count since you have the side panel off. The 340 doesn't have the sexy tempered glass ;)

But it runs the same way as the ram, lolol
​I was just happy to get it on, it was being a little ish for some odd reason, I'll probably turn it around when I feel like reapplying thermal paste.

 
Shaq-fu. Tried to preorder something(MEA, so glad so cancelled) on BestBuy, but my best but visa expires soon enough they won't except it(cants expire within 30 days of preorder's release date, before or after). So I requested a new card. They sent me a new card.....With the same expiration date, weeks away. I want my 3x points!

Really Citi? Really?

LED (and cold cathode) free here.

I can't stand lights on shit. My stupid cable modem is bright enough.

I bought this beast back in 2006 and it'll be my case until a nuclear bomb goes off nearby, cause that'll be the only way it gets damaged.
