New PC Build Anything Look Questionable?

The list below has my PC build I would like to build my only concern is that I've never used MSI before and not sure if anything in the list would be incompatible or cause conflict especially the video card. Please let me know so I know what if anything I need to adjust.
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($319.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($157.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Primary Samsung 840 pro 256GB SSD
Secondary Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.98 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Video Card ($727.55 @ Newegg)
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case ($122.98 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($64.99 @ Microcenter)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer ($17.98 @ OutletPC)
Monitor: Asus VS238H-P 23.0" Monitor ($147.58 @ Newegg)

Hi yes I know everyone just Loves Corsair but lets take this for example. P45-8d 8 gig corsair xms ram one module went bad so I did a advanced RMA well the new ram had the wrong ic on it and it would not even boot I was told after 20 years in the pc business it was because I did not know how to reset bios. Sent back the new Ram after I tried all configurations even tried the new modules with the 3 ones that still worked no go. Went to staples bought a 2 gig module cheap ddr3 then I over clocked the ram to 1600 it has run for 2 years now not one ram error. Also for a big company they have about 4 RMA centers world wide example buy a 1200 watt psu and you live in England well to RMA it you have to ship it to the Netherlands. Mushkin also has great Ram. To buy from a Company I look at all aspects of said company and yes Corsair has gone downhill I feel they purposely use many different ic's so none of there ram will work together unless it is a kit. Why I use anything MSI I can get my hands on because they have a great RMA right here in Canada last time I did a RMA on a video card it left Monday morning and was back in my hands Wednesday afternoon. But I guess in the End it is what you are happy with but Gskill still has the fastest RAM LOL.

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty?

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty? I want to know if the 3 year extended warranty covers what damage. Like water damage, accidental damage, lost or stolen macbook, manufactory defects, or any other kind of damage, maybe be even cosmetic damage. Can anyone help me?

If you are talking about features of the MBP itself, as long as you are not looking at the Retina models, then the memory you can upgrade yourself for a lot less than Apple charges, and that does not affect the warranty as Apple considers memory a user permitted upgrade. Great sources are Crucial and OWC, both are Mac specialists and have on-line videos on how to do the install.
If the 15" is what you are looking at, a good upgrade is the 7200 rpm hard drive, gives a little better performance over the standard 5400 rpm drive.
The Hi Res screen is good if you do a lot of graphics work.
Comparing the 13" amd 15" you will notice the 15" has a second, discrete graphic processor...helps when you get into heavy duty videos, games, graphics...but keep in mind that kicking in the second processor uses a lot of power and will run the battery down faster.
If you are looking at the Retina models, then keep in mind there are no post-purchase upgrade options...you have to buy with everything you want at the start.
Just some thoughts.

My new computer build, good bang for the buck?

I'm just starting out with CS 5.5, need a new computer, and want a solid base for upgrading as I go. I think I'm on the right track but uncertain of the video card.

I'm uncertain if the GTX 580 3GB video card ($475) is overkill? The other options are GTX 570 2.5 MB ($375) GTX 560 2MB ($225)
I've read all the reviews but there are mostly gamers who have more than one card.
Will the GTX 560 2MB be good enough? It's appealing because of the 2GB and the $225. If this could work for the next year few years then the GTX 580 may be down to $200. I just don't have much experience with video processing, how many layers I'll be using, etc. Or are all of these poor choices because they don't have the copper tubing?
When I upgrade I'll add a RAID card. For now I'll just start with the 6 Samsung and use a few for backups as I go along. Maybe I'll need to order more or another external back up sooner than later. Hope that makes sense. My approach is to get started then upgrade. I don't need to win any bench mark test but want a computer that's reasonably fast, upgradeable, reliable and have a long life.
Oh yeah, I had no idea about the keyboard and mouse so just went with a wired one as it will be on a desktop.
So does this look like a well balanced approach? Does anything look excessive or insufficiant?
Thanks for bearing with me. This forum has been a great resource! Of couse you recognize the parts from other recent builds. I've been doing a lot of reseach and really looking forward to getting this together.
thanks again!
John C

Yes, Frederic, some of the parts should look familiar! Your approach was really interesting how you were concerned about cooling and air flow. I actually had ordered most of it, including the MB, kayboard and mouse, last Thursday, then decided to go with the same case instead of the Half X and the CPU cooler, so I'm really glad you posted your system when you did.
Really appreciate the feed back. As far as what codec I'll be using, I suppose the ones that are the most versatile and most often used. I would like it to be capable to handle professional work standards yet not overkill. Do most editors use native and a codec for ACHDV? I was planning on the AVID codec and probably the CinaForm. A week ago I was put off by spending $100 for a codec but now that I'm configuring the hardware that might be a good option. I just don't know how to put all this into perspective until I get a real idea of the work flow; if it will save minutes or hours off the edit time.
I was confused about the disk performance. Thanks a bunch for pointing that out. I must have misunderstood some of the post, as I was under the impression that the SATA II disk 3.0 32 mb exceeded the throughput of the SATA connection, however you are saying that’s not the case with a RAID card, and that the RAID card with a decent disk set up would be best approach to improve the performance as opposed to more VRAM on the video card.
I am planning a good raid configuration in the near future so will get the SATA III. It's nice to be able to upgrade like that. I also want a good RAID card and the RAID will be also for redundancy. I may even have to go with a 10000 RPM primary drive like yours as those appear to be a nice boost. I planned to start off with 4 disk set up with a few disk for backups and ordered 6 disk. I was going to look into that next and didn't even realize the SATA III was on the MB. I'll probably be shooting a lot just to learn how to process the video, and once I start processing quality video I'll upgrade the RAID and backup.
Ok, off to see if I can cancel the Samsung order, gotta love Amazon for that.
Have a great day and thanks again!

Failed to Install The New Preview Build. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.

Hello,
I'm having issues upgrading my Windows 10 Technical Preview installation build 9879 to a newer build that's become available late January 23rd.
I am installing the new upgrade in a Hyper-V virtual machine and get the following error:
Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246007
What could be the problem?
Previously I've had messages that Windows cannot be upgraded on a computer with less than 2 Gbyte of RAM. That's a Hyper-V VM with dynamic memory and I was highly surprised to see this error; never had this before. Had to set 2048 Mbytes as a minimum memory
for this VM. Now that I have this 80246007 error code.
When looking up System log, the following error messages are listed multiple times:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.
The errors are returned for the Event ID 20 by WindowsUpdateClient
in task category Windows Update Agent..
I reviewed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
registry key as suggested in Windows
Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found", and here is what it shows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
"BranchName"="fbl_awesome1501"
"ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
"ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
Note, when attempting to install the downloaded update from a native boot, installation starts with no errors.
However, since setup is not supported for a natively booted VHD files, it does not proceed further showing a message that installation on virtual drives is not supported.
Looks like Setup is having problems installing in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
Possibly, some ESD files got corrupted during downloading? Is it possible to remove them and re-download missing files? (I, however, noticed that Windows seems to re-download upgrade files after you restart 9879 and attempt to check for a new build.
Any clue why installing under VM causes 9926 to fail?
Thank you in advance.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Hi,
According to the error message, this problem seems like update package installation failed during system upgrade.
You can try to remove ESD file which locate at boot of C drive and upgrade the system again for test.
On the other hand, make sure the system 9879 installed all Windows pushed updates before system upgrade.

IWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

iWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

There's no reason you can't go on using iWeb for this - with iWeb '08 you have to publish to a local folder (i.e. on your Mac) and then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) to your hosting service: and you have to make sure you enter the new URL in the Publish information or the feed won't work properly; this done, an iWeb podcast should work fine.
Of course there is still the problem that iWeb is not supported and sooner or later a system upgrade may break it. You could look at RapidWeaver: you can make podcasts with that, though the last time I looked into that - which was admittedly some time back - I didn't feel it was ideal for this. There are lots of other podcast creation programs or services around. WordPress is OK but it may be a bit of a steep learning curve: Libsyn is an online service that seems to work reliably. Blogger writes messy feeds but does usually work. Podcast Maker used to work well - I used it myself a few years back - but it rather looks as if it's gone moribund and it may not be reliable with Lion/Mountain Lion, so you would want to check into that.

"cs5.5 has stopped working" in new sytem build

(I mistakenly posted this in the general forum section- can I delete that post?)
When scrolling through a 50 minute long nested sequence containing 2 layers( one turned off ) of 1920x1080 AVC-Intra 100 P2, cs5.5 crashes. The source footage is on an external eSata Lacie Raid 0 drive.
I had many an issue like this back in cs4 days with continual crashing with large files but dont remember the solution. I have tried a few searches on this forum but cant seem to navigate the search engine to find anything... This is a brand new system build so I may not have win7 tweaked properly? Thank you for any suggestions.

New at this and looking for advice

Hi, I am new at Qmasnter and looking for advice. Myself and a few of my other co-workers have been using FCP2 and we have been tossing around the idea of making a Cluster with our computers on our campus. Two of us run on MacBook Pro's, and the other on a 24" iMac, there is also 2 MacPro's and another 24" iMac we would like to toss into the cluster. I know it seems backwards, the ones that are doing all the editing are on the slower machines, but our organization operates backwards and not logically anyways. The question is what happen to the cluster when a node is turned off? Should the laptops be a node in the cluster? All the computers are running on a gigabyte network, so the network can handle it. Just looking for peoples wisdom before I cause my own headache, and learn for others mistakes.
Thanks
Randy Kennedy

Hi Jon,
I've also started investigating the qmaster.
I'm following this guide you posted on digitalrebellion :
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/usingcompressor_with_multiplecores.html
but I the 'options for selected service' is greyed out when I click on compressor.
I can selected the 'options for...' when I click on rendering, but it just allows me to add another computer (but my only choice is 'this computer'. I see the option for SSH, but if i'm logged into another computer, shouldn't I be able to see it in the list?
Sorry for the noob questions. I"m trying to figure it out.
I have the following at my disposal:
mac pro 2.66 (main machine)
imac 2.16
macbook pro 2.2
powermac g5 2.0
cheers,
Keebler

Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later 0xC1900204

I upgraded in-place from Windows 8.1 to Build 9926. I am unable to upgrade past 9926.
Windows Update finds the new preview build on both fast and slow rings. It downloads it successfully. Upon attempting to install, it fails.
I get a screen overlay with the message:
Can't update to Windows 10 Technical Preview
Sorry, it looks like this PC can't run Windows 10 Technical Preview. This might be because the Users or Program Files folder is being redirected to another partition.
Closing the overlay and returning to the "Update & recovery" screen, I see the error in red: Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later 0xC1900204

Hi Isilverman,
As we have Windows 10 install Media available at hand, might we consider to do a dual boot of Windows 10 and Windows 8.1?
Based on the information you posted, it seems to be that the current Windows 8.1 environment is not suitable to do an Upgrade.
Another thing I would like to share is the information listed in the thread below:
Problems with disk space and installation time in builds 10041
and 10049 of Windows 10 Technical Preview

New to Builder - Best workflow for graphics?

Having started with Flash just as a designer, and working my way into more and more AS over the years, I've pretty much hit the frustration wall developing flash in the Flash CS4 IDE and have decided to jump ship and try Flash Builder. My question is if I'm creating graphics in Illustrator and/or Flash CS4, I understand how to import them for use in Builder, but is there any way to preserve or at least find out their positioning as they were arranged in Flash CS4? In other words is there a workflow to go from designing an interface in Illustrator and having it ready for coding in Builder without having to basically start over and manually code the positioning of each button/element all over again when I add the objects as children?
The only nice thing about the Flash CS4 IDE is being able to script for elements already placed on the stage visually. When I started reading about Flex/Flash Builder and their "visual editor" I thought it would be similar or even better. Then I discovered that (A) the whole process is based on another language entirely, MXML and (B) I would almost even be OK with learning MXML if it were implemented as I would have assumed - that it would be the other way around and Flex projects would be 90% AS, with embedded MX here and there to implement the visual editor and whatever nifty UI components.
So, I have no interest in MX, at least for the time being, until I learn more about coding-behind and any limitations because, as an AS coder, looking at examples of Flex projects that are mostly MX with in-line AS make me want to huddle in the corner and cry.
Thanks for any help!

Don't think it's 90% for laying out the elements. I tend to quickly layout objects in mxml, then do all the logic in AS, addEventListeners etc..etc..
you can create all your elements in AS if you want, and do addElement or what have you when you want it on the stage but it's archaic.
Have you looked at Catalyst?

**Help, blank monitor on New PC build with NX8400GS-TD series**

Hello,
I am having a problem with my new computer build:
Mainboard : MSI X48C Platinum
CPU:Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
PSU: Ultra 650 Watt Atx power supply
Memory : 4 Gig DDR3PC3-8500
HDD: 500 Gig WD Caviar SE16 ATA 7200/16MB/SATA-3G
Video Card: NX8400GS-TD Series
DVD Drive: LG 22X DVDRW SATA OEM (L49-1028 OEM )
The problem is that when I turn on my computer it powers on but I am getting a blank screen on my monitor. I have tried removing all devices (HD, DVD Drive) and leave the barebones, but it still does nothing. I know that the monitor that I am using is good because I tried it on a different computer and it works. can anyone please help me out?
Thanks

There is no way to check the video card without using another video card
Exactly (unless you have have a diagnostic/P.O.S.T. Status PCI Card which will show you each P.O.S.T. Checkpoint that is successfully passed). You could, of course, also test the card in another system.
Quote
How do I know if it posts without being able to see the screen?
Usually, you don't. That is what makes trouble-shooting so hard sometimes.
Quote
you said to take the video card out to see if it posts, how do i know if it posts if i can't see anything?
You have misunderstood what I was saying. During the Power-On-Self Test, the initialization of the output devices happens rather late in the test cycle.
You decribed this behaviour earlier:
Quote
ok, i am making backward progress now. before i got it to power up by:
1) turning on power on psu and then
2) pressing the power button on the computer case
Now it doesn't even power on and it tries to power up when I only:
1) try turning on the power on the psu
When I do the above the fans spin for a second then nothing.
These symptoms do not really indicate the video card. If you remove the card and the same symptoms occur, you can more or less be sure that these problems are not caused by the card as such. You do not need to see anything on the screen to be able to oberve the power-on behaviour of the systems.
Quote
It can't be the following:
CMOS (I cleared it multiple times)
Shorting of the case (I took it out of the case)
CPU (I checked the CPU Pins and it is fine)
Well, then there is other stuff left to check:
Quote
- forgotten CMOS Clear (while the main A/C power cable is unplugged from your PSU)
- shorting issue inside the case
- a problematic or failing PSU (or: not all power connectors hooked up properly)
- broken or bent CPU Socket Pins
- memory problems
- a bad/damaged motherboard (either DOA (damaged during shipping), damaged during handling/installing (electrostatic discharges, damaged by a short circuit inside the case) etc.)
- and yes, a bad video card (but this is not very likely in my opinion) ---> If it was the video card, the system should turn on and stay on (the P.O.S.T. should stop during output device initialization) ---> So, this is easy to check: Test without the video card. If the system shows the same on/off behaviour, it is not the card causing this)

Windows Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found"

I am in the insider program and on build 9841. I did this same process on 2 other machines, starting at 9841, running through windows updates, and then upgrading to build 9860. However, on this one particular desktop machine, I have all other windows updates
applied, but every time I check for a new preview build I simply see the following message:
"No new preview build was found, please try again later."
Any idea how to force this thing to detect the newer build which I know is available?
Patrick

I changed my registry to what you said, but I still can't get any update. Do you have any ideas for me? Only have 10 more days :\
thanks
For anything newer than 9926 registry settings must be as follows:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
"BranchName"="fbl_impressive"
"ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
"Ring"="WIF"
"ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
Copy this into the registry file and double-click it to import settings into your registry.
Then restart Windows Update and BITS services for the settings to apply on the running instance of Windows. You may use the following script:
net stop wuauserv
pause
net stop bits
pause
net start bits
pause
net stop wuauserv
Copy the text above into a text file, rename its extension to CMD, and run the command file with elevated privileges (right-click the CMD file and select Run as administrator from the shortcut menu).
Note: the branch name changed since 9926 days. Previously you could have the following settings:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
"BranchName"="fbl_awesome1501"
"ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
"ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
or even
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
"BranchName"="fbl_release"
"ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
"ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
Both did NOT work for me. The fbl_impressive value worked flawless.
Remember the value of BranchName MUST be the same as the keyword found in the name of the ESD file you download from Microsoft when you click
Download now in Update & recovery . The ESD could be found in %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download or in %systemdrive%\$Windows.~BT\Sources.
You can check to see what is the
valid branch name for a particular build on Windows here.
To cut the long story short:
The official Technical Preview releases of Windows 10 are known as:6.4.9879.0.fbl_release.141103-172210.0.9926.0.fbl_awesome1501.150119-1648
10.0.10041.0.fbl_impressive.150313-1821
10.0.10049.0.fbl_impressive.150325-1700
Set BranchName REG_SZ value in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability] to:
fbl_release -- to upgrade to 9879
fbl_awesome1501 -- to upgrade to 9926
fbl_impressive -- to upgrade to 10041
fbl_impressive -- to upgrade to 10049
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

After some advice, I am new to Apple and looking to purchase either the MacBook Air 13inch with 256GB and 8GB mem or the MacBook Pro 13inch with retina 256Gb and 8GB mem. I am an assistant principal in a primary school and also studying my masters at university. I don't play computer games and I don't watch movies. I do store photos and videos of my kids and music on iTunes. I also like browsing the net with numerous windows open, check email etc. I am really wanting long battery life as I do a lot of my work on the couch - not close to a PowerPoint. Would the air do the trick or will it soon be outdated as Apple move towards retina display? Both air and pro seem very thin - almost the same? And not much difference in weight either so both very portable which is also a necessary requirement. Just can't help dreaming about that 12 hour claimed battery life. Any helpful advice/opinions, very much appreciated. Thanks

It's not likely that you'll get 12 hours in reql life. Those benchmarks are set under very strict controlled conditions. Kind of like mileage per gallon claims on cars. If 16GB of ram is an option at all I'd highly recommend you get that. As far as storage 256GB isn't alot, consider storing some things on an external thunderbolt real

Found 2 bugs in new Flash Builder 4.7

Hello.
I've just migrated all of my large projects to the new Flash Builder 4.7 (from 4.6) and they all work well except for the 2 annoying issues:
1. I don't know why, but FB no longer allows me to create "config" packages. It says "config is a reserved word in ActionScript and cannot be used." Wtf? I had lots of projects using such names in FB 4.6 and didn't have any issues with it. Is it a new rule in FB 4.7? If so - then why it was introduced and was introduced only now? ActionScript language and FB exist not the first year... Also after i migrated existent projects i see all "config" packages have non-standard "folder" icon in the source file tree (in the package explorer panel).
2. There are strange warnings started to appear - "the import BLA-BLA-BLA is not used locally", but I am not blind - I see it is used just a little bit below in the code. What is wrong with this?
Please help as I am confused now about what to do... I waited for FB 4.7 for so long and now I think I will need to downgrade...

Hi Infeter,
For 1;
After the number of hours I have lost debugging issues where someone has inadvertently named a variable the same as a package that is on the root, so making it impossible for FB to discern whether I am talking about "aname.veryImportant" as the sub-package "veryImportant" of the package "aname" or the property "veryImportant" of the variable "aname", I welcome any and all new warnings of how a coder may inadvertently break Flash! So, if they are saying it is a reserved word, it is probably because there is a core class, variable or other such that will, at some point, bite you if you name something after it. This has always been the case with, for example "default" - default is a keyword that has real meaning for the compiler and you will not be allowed to define things as "default" because of the potential for confusion (are you issuing the "default" directive in a switch statement or are you referring to the "default" value in your class?). Given that FB has the frankly excellent "Refactor" function to allow you to easily rename packages, members and classes, I'd just be happy to rename the offending items and be glad to have saved myself several hours of painful debug later on.
For 2;
I'm surprised you're seeing this warning for classes that are not used. I've found loads that were added in automatically over the years that simply are not used. I'm loving the way I can clean out about half my import statements now. The thing to do is to comment out the imports and check that everything still works. If it does, then you're laughing, you don't need them. If it triggers errors of not being able to locate the class, then I would put together a code snippet and add it as a comment to your bug report.

How can i get iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music

I have a new lap top with vista ultimate. I can't get it to "see" the music stored on the server, so my iTUnes on the lap top is blank.
How can i get my iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music?
someone mentioned creating an alias on the server and then dragging that onto the c: drive iTunes folder?
Can anyone help me?

They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.
