Release The Kraken

I'm waiting to purchase my new PC, and when it comes to gaming, I'm not sure of what is a good motherboard or a processor.

Processor -

- AMD FX-4300 3.80 GHz Quad-Core AM3+ CPU 4MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology

To my knowledge, most games don't use anything over 2 cores, so a quad-core is enough...let me know if I'm wrong :X

Motherboard -

- [CrossFireX] GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 AMD 970 Socket AM3+ ATX Mainboard w/ On/Off Charge, Ultra Durable 3, 7.1 Audio, GbLAN, IEEE1394a, 2 Gen2 PCIe X16, 3 PCIe X1 & 2 PCI

As for motherboards, I don't have much of an idea about what makes it a good-quality motherboard.

Some insight or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated :)

I recently got my server up and running, and I'm encountering a few problems. With the plugins I have installed ( KeepItems, LWC, SimpleSpawn, TreeAssist, WorldEdit, and Worldguard ), only players that are OP'd can use the /spawn commands to teleport commands. However, when I OP them, they have access to creative mode, which I do not want. I'm not sure of what properties I have to change to allow normal players to teleport/warp without having access to EVERYTHING else; any help?

I just set up dual monitors (yes, everything is working just fine and all the settings are correct) but I appear to have run into an issue. I set up these 2 monitors for the purpose of multitasking, which is completely ruined by the fact that when I play a game in full-screen on my first monitor, I can NOT access anything on the second monitor without Alt+Tab'ing. I found a program called Actual Multiple Monitors and was told that I could play full-screen games and use both monitors without anything being minimized. However, I'm unsure of the proper settings and hotkeys to allow me to switch between monitors without interrupting my game.

I record, edit, and upload my gameplay to YouTube and every now and then, YouTube picks out videos and says "You need to supply more information to monetize your video" blah blah. I'm not sure what exactly it means when I need to supply more information...something about my own content, I suppose. Someone shed some light on this, please; I'm extremely confused as to why it keeps doing this.

I can't play ANY video at all on any other quality than 360p. The videos won't even load when I set them to 240p either. Is that happening for anyone else?

I stumbled upon a Dazzle Digital Video Creator that was extremely cheap. I wanted any kind of capture card to record my 360 games with, so I picked it up. I have all the cords set up correctly; those are not my issue. The software that came with it (Pinnacle Studios) will NOT install on my computer. I'm not sure what version it is, so don't ask (I'm running Windows 7). I plug the Dazzle into my computer and it recognizes it as DVC 150B, if that helps. I understand I need to install the drivers from the CDs that came with it, but it says I need Admin rights to do anything with it. I've done a bit of searching, and it seems like the software isn't compatible with Windows 7. Is that why I can't get it installed?

I just finished uploading a video and YouTube started acting VERY weird...My video finished uploading, I went to my video manager, clicked my video to see everything uploaded fine, but it says I'm signed out. I can click to the home page and it says I'm signed it, but every time I try to watch a video, I get the 502 error. It's either that or it shows me as not signed in. I have no idea what's going on. Any help?

I'm planning on getting a better graphics card and at the moment, I'm clueless as to what I need. Right now, I have an AMD Radeon HD 6450 graphics card with about 700MB+ memory. I want to play games like Dead Island, GTA 4, (etc) smoothly on good settings. I'm unsure of what is compatible or what would actually help; I don't want to get a new card and find out it doesn't change anything or that it isn't compatible. Anyone willing to help me out?

Running -

Win 7 Home Premium

AMD Anthlon II X2 260 Processor 3.2GHz

8GBs of RAM

I did actually go through the uninstall process of Left 4 Dead, but the file "Left 4 dead" is still in my C:Windows folder with the uninstall application in it. I try using it, but it says "Invalid start mode: archive file" or something. What went wrong, still possible virus? AVG is saying no threats.

I bought New Vegas a long time ago and haven't played it for a while. I decided to play it today and popped it into my 360. Of course, I needed to update...BUT...when I tried to update, it said this -

- Can't download the update. To test your connection, open System Settings" blah blah.

Status Code - 3524 - 0000 - D080 - 0200 - 8078 - 01F7

It won't let me play it now...any ideas?

I recently got offered to make money off my uploads on YouTube (through ads, I'm guessing?); but I was trying to get through the steps to set it up, but I got stuck on step 2, where I have to link an AdSense account to start monetizing my videos. I checked the first one to create a new account, but it does nothing. Glitched, maybe? I'm not sure >.<

I downloaded the New Super Mario Bros. for my No$GBA and I tried to start it up but it says "Game save could not be read." Anyone know what I need to do to get it to work?

I just got this random call in Skype, saying "Urgent!" etc. I ignored the first one, then I got it again and answered; it said, "Stand by for a system report: Your computer ID is (random numbers). I hung up in the middle of that. I was clueless. Anyone know if it was legit or not?

League Of Legends was recently patched. With this patch, they enhanced the graphics and added a new champion; Wukong. I'm interested in purchasing the new champion, but he won't show up in my shop list. I see him through my summoner profile in the "Champions" tab, but I can't find him to purchase him. Anyone know why?

I'm getting a new computer soon, and I need to know the best way to clear any and everything on my computer. I have a Toshiba Satellite (only about 3-4 years old; it's been a great laptop). I know how to format the disc drive, but does that REALLY clear the entire computer? I mean, all I want left is the recycling bin, and Internet Explorer =P.

Plain and simple question; does anyone know what kind of drum kit is being used in this video?

Is anyone else having trouble connecting to Minecraft? I get to the log-in screen and try to log in, but it says "Can't connect to Minecraft.net" and below "Play Offline" it says "(Not downloaded)"

At the moment, I have a laptop. I want to add a RAM card so it performs better. BUT...I also have a choice to wait and get a desktop in June. I need a better-performing computer so I can run simple games without lag. Would adding RAM improve my laptop, or should I wait for the desktop?

I downloaded and payed for Minecraft. All I see is the option to download the beta and play the in-browser beta. How do I get the Alpha version? And also, even in the beta, it won't let me get online (play on any servers, etc). It can't connect.

I asked this already, but there were no answers...so I'm going to try again.

Multiple times have I calibrated it, but it never works. It's not playing as it should be, and it's really ****ing me off. I can't play normally. I do have a flat-screen LG HDTV, but I don't see why that would matter. Anyone know why the game won't play like it should?
