I've been having a lot of problems with Power Supplies recently. my mother burned through about 10 in the past year, blowing out motherboards and processors along the way.

Problem stopped when we bought her a 1000 euro UPS and realized that the power grid in the area was spiking to around 290 volts.

None of the other computers have had problems, since they don't draw that much power (my mother has a 1000 watt, I have a 550 and my father has a 400), but my mother just kept popping like flies in a microwave.

Never move to Ireland.

I actually recomend the new AMD FX processers, they're pretty good. I'm unfortunately stuck with a first-gen Phenom, 6 gigs of ram and 2.5tb harddisk space

...My computer is still epic, although somewhat average.

I was going to build an amd system but the problem is my power supply i have been using the same psu for 4-5 years i bought it new its a 400watt dell power supply so far it haven't failed me once, i powered up a lot of components with it. AMD requires a lot more power intel is more efficient. I went from a pentinum 4 to a core 2 duo then to a intel celeron dual core and now the i3 2100 soon the 3570k. Graphics card hd 4350 to a 4650 then a gt 440 and now the amd 7770 not planning on upgrading gpu until the 800 nvidia series come out.

It was around 20 euroes from the shop I bought it from in Holland, also got my graphics card from there, best 120 i've ever spent.

Turned my computer from a shitty Dell "Office PC" to a graphics powerhouse (by three years ago's standard) that can run Skyrim plus graphical mods at 60fps

I have a i3 2100 4gb ram with a 7770 everything runs on it i want to upgrade my cpu so i can run a few wii/gamecube emulated games smoother.

I also have G17 and G18 set to my Teamspeak talk keys, but I did it a weird way that could have been better done in LUA

Its a good keyboard overall i got mines for 70$ on sale new on retail store.

You do know microMotherboards are really small, and you're probably either downgrading or not upgrading at all.

I also needed extra usb ports this motherboard has an extra x2 3.0 usb ports.

oh shit so do i

Funny, so do I.

Do you use the g keys? I use them but not on all my games i find them hard to reach.
