That's an awesome link. Where do you advise buying pre built ones?

Kind of hard to tell.  The monitor doesn't tell you what input connectors it has.  DVI?  HDMI?  VGA?  The graphics card doesn't tell you what resolution it outputs.  1920 X 1080 @ 60 Hz?  1080p? Your guess is as good as mine on whether they're going to work together.

How does the Corsair power supply compare to the top-of-the-line Thermaltake 750 watt PS?

Lol you mean I can't just throw all this crap together and expect it to work?

The monitor does 1080p with a 1920x1080 res. Not sure about the Hz. It has USB, HDMI, and VGA I believe.

The graphics card I just picked based on the fact that its nVidias and seems to be enough for gaming. I've always seen them as being good for gaming.

Now power supplies I don't know much about. I've heard of corsair before but that was the only brand I was recognizing. Would you recommend thermaltake over them then?

PCI or PCI express connection slot . If you are real serious about sound and are possibly going to use it for home theater a sound card is probably a smart idea. You can always add one later as long as your MOBO has on board sound. Looks like you are putting down some serious coin, I wouldn't skimp on the audio.

I like what your thinking because I would hook this up to my surround sound system which is pretty nice. This thing is getting expensive lol. Am I correct in thinking this will be cheaper and better than buying a pre made one?

Are you going with on board sound or a sound card?
Take a look at Microcenter. They usually have great deals if you are buying motherboard and cpu together. Usually lower than New Egg Amazon.. Etc..

I have no idea about sound. I guess sound card. Is there a slot for one of those?

Nexus 7 Connect (MicroUSB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, Pogo Pin) / Re: Cannot use NFC in my nexus 7

What is the other device?  What kind of files?  What app are you in?  What version of android is the other device on?  Have your turned NFC on under settings?  Will the NFC even activate when the two devices are touched together back to back?  Come on man,  details.

It offers a lot of customization and had a ton of options while still being very fast. I'm a lot more familiar with it than other launchers but I feel like it has a lot more tweaks with it.

When you reach the point that you have degraded your battery by charging, the Nexus 7 X-3 will probably be available.

Well I guess it overrides whatever screen brightness you have on for the rest of the system. Still bad.  Its just a bad app.

There's so much different contradicting information any more on lithium ion batteries I'm not sure.

From my understanding you should recharge it once it hits 50% capacity to prolong the life of the battery. Some people say it doesn't matter.

Also it shouldn't matter if you leave it plugged in all night. The batteries actually have chips in them that prevent any over charge damage or anything like that.

I'm not liking beautiful widgets very much. Are you downloading your themes from somewhere other than in the app?
