He's like 1988 Eddie Murphy, if Eddie drank instead of doing cocaine.

Nope. It's the very first one that gives you the option to enter the BIOS.

You can go into the bios and change the time the bios screen stays up. I set mine for like 10 seconds.

Cool, I didn't know you could do that. I almost feel like you're messing with me.

It shouldn't be sitting there for several minutes though. Turn off the bios/motherboard splash screen completely so you can see what's initializing during that time and what's taking so long.

Once you all solve finches problem, tell me which vid card sub $500 is best or is it better to xfire two 7950's? If I can sell my current 7950 quickly you can add that to the purchase price of the new card if it will out perforem the 2x 7950.

You could probably just about get 2 290s for $500 on ebay.

I'm leary of buying used video cards, have to think about that one.

Good price for this PS, and are the listed prices with the code already applied or do you get another $15 off on top of whats listed?

SeaSonic Platinum SS-860XP2 860W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

~$160 after the 15% off.

I can get the 750w for ~$93 after discount.

I just want to be sure I have enough power for dual cards.

Not sure yet, problably a second

SAPPHIRE 100352-3L Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Currently have

SAPPHIRE 100352SR Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

will the difference in the -3L and SR be a problem?
