Does anyone know the release date of the InWin 303 type C case? I know it was shown at CES this year and it's profiled on the InWin website but I can't seem to find any info on when it will actually become available.
Here is the case at CES,
Here is the link on InWin's website, https://www.in-win.com/en/gaming-chassis/303c
I broke my current case but it's still usable so I can wait to replace it for a few months. After some research I think this is the case I want if it's anything like the current version of the 303. Amazon seems to be trying to get rid of their current stock of 303's so I'm hoping the Type 3 comes out soon.
Anyone have an inside scoop?

I think my XFX HD 6850 1 GB is faulty. ATi drivers have been crashing for years now and it did it yesterday one more time. This time Windows went to a black screen then I restarted and two vertical blue bars appeared in post. Then I went into bios and those bars still appeared. Then I allowed Windows to start and it was a black screen. Does this mean that it is overheating or bad vram? I cannot test it out since I don't have access to another gpu. I don't think it's the monitor since those lines don't appear while I use my Xbox One.
does your cpu have integrated graphics? you could test with that maybe?

I tried but the HDMI cable won't fit in the port on the motherboard.
I have an ASRock z77 Extreme 4 motherboard.

I'm finally ready to buy my parts and build my first gaming PC! I'm very excited, nervous, but I know if I just follow the instructions right I'll be fine.
I just want to post my build one more time if anyone has any suggestions as to where to improve or maybe get a similar part but for cheaper without it messing up my compatibility:

My budget was $2,000 but I know I would run over so it's not a big deal. Just to reiterate: it's mainly for gaming and I'm going to be playing on my LG C6 until I get a monitor later (I really want to see how this would look on that TV). I'll also be overclocking.

Is there any good motherboard cheaper than the Gigabyte B250 mATX? preferably around 70 CAD.
case wise I'll get this one instead, will this be compatible with what I'm having?
Edit: is the NZXT S340 a water cooling only case?

Not sure if it's normal, but I'm getting a little image jank/stutter when I pan the camera in Overwatch or PUBG with G-Sync on. My monitor is the Dell S2716DG - 1440p 144hz, running on GTX 1070. In Overwatch my FPS is ~105, I have it set to cap the framerate to the display. I have V-Sync and Buffers off. Not sure where else to look.

Do you really need the x370 board, if your not going to use the features it gives, then get a b350 motherboard.

Unfortunately this is the older version of the 303. I'm looking for the 303 type C that showed at CES.

Hey guys! I'm going to be upgrading soon and I wanted to know what I should get in terms of CPU + Mobo
I currently have:
AMD FX-6300
GTX 1060 6GB
16GB DDR3 RAM
I want to switch to Intel, but I have no idea which CPU would pair best with the 1060. Thanks!

I'd avoid the MSI xpower, since it's not that good. Go for the Asrock x370 Taichi or Asus Crosshair 6 Hero instead.

Honestly the question would be more a matter of how much you're willing to spend (so budget), and what you use your PC for. Is it just gaming, or do use it for other purposes too?
Bear in mind you'll have to replace RAM too.

Took a second look, this seemed to fit your intended price range:
http://www.vuugo.com/asrock-motherboards-B250M-HDV.html?tracking=5108053939762
As to the case, I'm pretty sure it can take aircooling, it's just that if spending that much on a case it'd be typically expected to be paired with an AIO cooler. Make sure to get something under the CPU height of 161 mm. Which if you stuck with the provided intel CPU, will be fine.
Edit: Apologies for double post

The budget is unlimited as I'm going to save for it no matter how much
I'm going to use it for gaming and editing so an i7 is probably what I'm going to want I assumeJonnyDBrit

Then you could go outright for the i7-7700k, yes. Which trust me, as someone who went from an FX-6350 to an i7-6700k, will be an astounding difference on some games.
I presume you live in the US?

Thanks for the list! I actually did some thinking and have decided to just go for an i5 as I don't have any issues editing with my current CPU, so getting an i7 isn't really necessary.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NR9TgL
Just put this list together and I think it seems alright for what I want
no cheap vga or dvi cable lying around?
you can easily drop 300$ with a cheaper case and a 1700 series cpu instead of the 1800x, which for most purposes is not going to give you that much more performance than a 1700
an 850w PSU is also a bit overkill, a 650w will be more than adequate for those parts even with a dash of overclocking
you can save quite a bit on the mobo as well if you don't absolutely need an x370 chipset
how does this look to you:

just a few small changes that really won't impact performance and you're below 2k$
just put in a cheaper full tower case for demonstration
also switched the graphics card to a non-founder version

1) People are buying any and all AMD cards to mine Eth and the like
2) Combined with Vega still "incoming" and frequent sales, people are buying up more Nvidia cards than normal because well what else can they do
no need for buying thermal paste with that cooler

As an example for pure Mobo, CPU, and RAM replacement (cooler may or may not be necessary depending on what you're already using).
That's the case I've settled on. That or a Fractal Design R5. I need 2 DVD drives. Want cable mgmt. grommets, good cable mgmt. in general, like the psu shroud on Phanteks. I even looked at custom ones in case I get the R5.
Agree with those saying switching out the mobo. Like for me, I want extra SATA connections. Thought I had to get an x370 until I checked.
I'll be joining the first time PC builder's club soon too.
What are the probabilities of picking cards up when they come back, specifically the rx570? Are they likely out in seconds or?
yeah they're gone instantly

I think it is - I just bought one (getting it delivered on Tuesday morning) for 0.3 bitcoins.
What a world we live in.
So I got my PSU and tried out my Sharkoon TW-3 Case (and stuff) with my AB350 M Pro4 Motherboard. It was refurbished, so I'm not surprised, but: The Chassis-Fan-Port 2 doesn't work. I don't yet have a graphics card (I still have no idea which one I'll get) , so I can't test that, but: Could it be that I can manage the Chassis Fan Port and make it work? I know that the fan works because I put it in a 4-Pin-PSU-Connector and it worked.

Why? Every cooler needs thermal paste. Whether or not it's worth replacing the stock paste is another story (I still would).
because the paste including with the cooler will work just fine?
Because corsair uses shin et su, better than the ancient AS5 chosen. AS5 is good but takes time to cure and is a much thicker paste than modern pastes like AC MX-4.

The pre-applied thermal paste Corsair puts on their AIO coolers are fine.

Can a broken mouse cord cause a short causing the usb drives to shut down till a restart?
I was thinking my mobo was dying. Used my mouse on another pc and it was connecting/disconnecting like crazy. So it's obviously busted. Bought a new one and so far no issues. I had this issue before on another older mouse which is why I thought it was my motherboard. Maybe both of the cords were messed up? I guess I'll wait and see for a bit if it starts up again with this new mouse.

Seeing that the Scorpio is gonna be $499 I wanna upgrade my GTX 780, so I've been looking at the Evga products and have found these 1070 and 1080 cards, but what would be the one to buy for the price? I'm thinking the 1070 would give me the most for the bucks?

I discovered the issue was certain games not using my Global Settings with vsync on in the Nvidia Control Panel and were using the application settings instead. I seem to have fixed it for now, at least in full screen, anyway. I haven't tested windowed yet.
Is the Creators Update still an issue for Gsync? I can only find articles from April discussing the issue. When I reinstalled Windows 10, it automatically updated me to the latest version, so I assume I'm sort of stuck with it for now.
