Are there any Microcenters in the Baton Rouge area or anything similar to that?

Is there a way to increase the video memory on a laptop?
yes.
Step 1. Borrow some from your Pc's video card. Find a chip that's easily accessible, and grab a small flat head screwdriver!
Step 2. Slide the screwdriver underneath the corner of the chip, and just pry up on it. Put all your strength into it!
Step 3. Take out your laptop and make sure it's booted up. Navigate to Windows System Information.(Start/Right click "Computer"/properties). This ensures the module will be properly identified when installed. Now, flip it over. Pop off the access panel on the back and expose the SODimm memory sticks. Slide those bad boys out.
Step 4. Grab your soldering iron! Find a spot on the motherboard(it doesn't matter where)and start soldering the chip in place. Make sure to really lather it on, you want it to be secure.
Step 5. Once you're satisfied with the soldering, install the SODimm and reboot. You're all done and ready to rock!

Thanks Bruce, I'll be sure to give this a shot tomorrow.

Yes, do that...

seriously though, what programs do I need to install on this beast?
MSI After Burner to OC your GPU and set custom profiles and 3D Benchmark to test it out.

Don't forget to delete the system32 files for compatibility help

Make sure you check no the item you want. For example, the 8320 is a limited quantity, one per household item so I'd only be able to get the one

Anyone have an FM2+ mobo they want to sell me? The one I want isn't in stock anywhere except Amazon and eBay and it' $60 more there for some reason.

Troubleshooting question for you guys.
My buddies computer apparently died on him a while ago and I am trying to see if I can fix it for him.
He cannot turn it on and there are no visible lights on the motherboard. I exchanged the PS with another like sized PS and nada.
I am not anywhere near an expert like some of you guys, but I think I know my way around at least somewhat. If I had to make assumptions I would say it is the mobo based on the fact that it would most likely turn on if the RAM, CPU, or GPU were not working.
Any thoughts?
TIA

MJ, I will have to look this evening but I think I may have you pick me up a 4770K. They are $100 cheaper at MC vs online.

Not necessarily. In fact remove everything but the CPU and one stick of ram and see if it will at least power on and boot to bios and go from there. As you add piece by piece back you should be able to tell which one is the problem. If not then it probably is the mobo.

Yeah man, let me know. I plan on probably going this week to get most of my stuff.
I prefer to go there b/c it's just easier and faster to pick than ordering online, plus returns are less of a hassle. I'll pay a few dollars more here or there just for the ease of picking up, but from what I've seen MC is pretty comparable to most stuff online, if not cheaper, on most parts

Will try.
How do I know its not the CPU then?

That's interesting that at the same settings, one game performs better for one card and another game performs better for the other.
BAsed on that, it looks like the 750 would be the way to go. I was hoping they would be a little closer performance-wise so I could pick the 260 locally. Based on that difference, I guess I'll have to wait the 2-4 weeks to get the card
How big of a difference is 2-3 fps truly? And keep mind, you can attest to my lack of reaction time re: first person shooters
I'm looking more in to games like Day Z, the hidden, TTT, and I'd like to get in to some of the puzzle platformers PC offers .
I'm sure I'll play plenty of the AAA titles too, but I don't need top of the line with this first build.
