FYI, Dark Souls Prepare to Die edition is 10 bucks at green man this weekend. Think there's a 20% off voucher goin round too. Get prepared for DS2 comin out.

I have a question, though. Anybody know of a fix for The Witcher 2's framerate issues. No matter what settings, I'm getting in between 10-20 FPS according to fraps. Brehs, I have a 4770k with a 280x and I can still max pretty much anything out right now. This game isn't exactly new anyways, so it can't be my hardware. I heard that possibly there was something wrong with the game and nvidia cards?

fukking unoptimized polish trash. Lemme know if anyone knows of a fix or thinks they know what it may be.

As far as motherboard goes...I won't be doing sli. I don't really care what case I get...I just want to make sure everything works well with everything. I will be doing gaming and music production on this pc.

That case looks like a good move but I need some help on finding a motherboard that goes well with it. Also...that case looks small. Will everything fit well within it? What about power supply...is the cooling sufficient?

Also...I'm having a friend that builds pcs all the time put everything together for me to avoid problems

Nah, breh. You got this.

Any mini-itx motherboard with the LGA 1150 Haswell socket will work.

I would recommend a 500W PSU and you will be good to go

^How about this one? Doesn't support 1866 ram but the price is right...1600 won't get the job done?

that MSI motherboard should do the job, if you're new to building PCs then you wont care for 1866 vs 1600 anyway so don't sweat it.
case looks good too; cases are personal preferences.

set a budget
pick your requirements for case
find best case that meets step #1 and step #2
???
profit.

Lol. I played it for a few hours. It's good but I can't sometimes deal with it. I may never finish it.

you sure you don't have "ubersampling" on?

the game can be pretty intensive, but I was able to get good performance with an nvidia card

and if issues were nvidia specific, why would they be affecting your 280x?
