I'm curious to know that if I install games from Steam or Battlefield 3 from Origin, that if my hard drive dies do I just reinstall them or do I have to re buy them?

So I just bought Guild Wars 2 from the website and i don't have a way to play it. Is it sent to you via mail or is it by download. The website said they would send me an email, but does it take a couple hours to get sent?

So I've built a computer. When the monitor isn't plugged into anything other than the power it works and turns on. When it's plugged into my motherboard or graphics card it automatically shuts off and won't display anything when I turn on the computer

I'm kinda worried about the PSU. Is it enough for this or do I need more? Also will that graphics card run a game like Far Cry 3 or BF3 on medium to high settings with a decent fps?

This is my 1st build so I'm being precautious with the parts and am on a budget.

I'm starting my first computer build and am wondering how to ground myself. The case I'm getting is painted so I know that wont work. I was wondering if I could ground myself with a computer that has the parts in it(store bought Dell Dimensions 3000) and if it'll have to be plugged in or what. I also heard you can ground your self with the power supply with it plugged in but turned off. As it being my 1st build and on a budget I'd rather not fry my stuff.

So this is going to be my first build. I was wondering how good of a gaming PC this will be. WILL 64-BIT WORK WITH THIS SETUP OR WILL I NEED 32-BIT? I'm 14 and paying for this by myself so I can't be putting $1000s into this. If its not good please give reasons and things to replace it with. Thanks.

This is the 1st time building a computer and I want to be able to use it for gaming and regular use. Is all this stuff good enough to run BF3 on high or ultra. The reason for a computer is because consoles are just getting too old for me. Also is there any stuff I can downgrade on to save me money. Like do I need the 16GB of RAM? Also is Windows 7 Home a good operating system or can I boost it a little? Also does how much does Directx11 sound cost? Do I need anything else or is this good?

I'm 13 about 5'1" and like 85-90 lbs(yeah I'm small) and I hit my driver I think 210 yds or a little more. I know I don't hit it far because one of my friends hits it like 280 but he's huge. Don't give bull saying you were my size hitting it 300 yards.

So I'm getting an iphone 4 for Christmas and I know the Otterbox Defender case has a built in screen protector but should I also get an anti-glare screen protector as well? Thanks.

I'm 14 and my friend gave me a butterfly knife and I was just wondering if I would be able to carry it on me? I probably won't no matter if it is or not but it came into my head and now I'm just curious. Thanks.

When I join a multiplayer match I can't do anything but move, throw down equipment, sprint, and jump. My gun doesn't show but I can still switch from my primary to my secondary, and I can't shoot. Also when I die the character just dies standing and no emblems or dog tags are shown from the player that killed me. Please help.
