I did Ants, there are about 15 ASUS 1150 socket boards so which one is it?

EDIT: Just checked ASUS' webpage, they have 28 Socket 1150 boards available.

you lost me........keep it simple I know nothing about technical aspects of motherboards

It's like saying 'this skyline has a garret turbo' in an ad, what garret turbo? The 1150 boards range in price from sub $50 to $400-$500 with vast differences in features.

I would look at a samsung 840 - 250gb SSD for main drive and a 2 or 3 TB secondary drive that should meet your performance and storage needs.

An SSD is probably not possible with a $1000 budget, especially if that $1000 includes an monitor.

ahh ok. Thanks for that.

I just after something within the 1500 range not something that costs as much as small car.

$1500 is doable if you go the AMD route.

I'd say its still doable with Intel, but it will become obsolete sooner. I have a pathological hatred for AMD after some very bad experiences with them.

I'll spec up an AMD system after dinner

in 17 years I have

-Built 6000 AMD systems to date, had 4 fail inside warranty

-Built 8-9000 Intel systems and had considerably more fail (upwards of 200) inside warranty (that being said I have built nearly 3000 more of them)

Advanced Micro Devices, They make Cheaper CPU's and nowday's APU's.

Some of the newer AMD Chips are really good and priced in a manner that allows for more coin to be spent on Mobo and GPU.

Some manufacturers make Generic Ram that has better Latency than the big names but slightly lower clock speeds...time to OC that shit and same some dollars.

I've never had an issue with any Intel system I have built and the 3 AMD systems I built were the most unstable pieces of crap I have ever used. But that was just before AMD lost a lot of market share so they may be a lot better now.

Ok. I just need some guidance where I can get buy / build a computer that is reasonably powerful enough for occasional gaming and lots of media.

Looks like there is 3 of us who can build you one Ants :P

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
