Okay switched to the MSI Gaming 5 and the 2tb hitachi. I looked up the 970 and it seems like a really good deal so I'll be going with that, any recommendations on brand/model? I've seen that the general trend is MSI or Gigabyte with the GTX970. I actually got a pretty good deal on the 4690k from...

I've had a friend pick out some parts for me, not really to sure about this stuff. Would appreciate some input from you all, is this the best I can get for the price? Any parts I should replace? I mostly want to use it for gaming. I would like to cut down the price a little if it meant losing...

I had the same problem and fixed it by sharing a ground between the screen and the gc

K got the capacitors back on and no dice (Sorry, its a little blurry)

wow how did that even happen, thanks for the solution guys :D. Just one question, how do i reconnect them, they're so tiny.

okay cleaned up the connections, replaced the two resistors with the one 2.2k, still nothing. EDIT: I realized that this post was useless without pictures
