(In my experience, Frys has better mobo prices and MC has better CPU prices). They also feature same-day buying if needed and generally have nice return policies. (Although, most places will not accept a mobo with a bent pin, unless you have some way of proving it was made defective.Ngghh yeah I'm still slightly hoping I don't have to rebuild a desktop so I'm looking into some tech repair places I might try calling today.
But then if I do need to build a new one gughhhhhh.
I like my desktop guys ; ; It's got blue shiny lights and I built it. :c

The chips get very hot, very fast, and it may be over-temping before the machine can even POST depending on your configuration.I made a quick, looksee at it and I didn't see any pins bent and whenever I re-seat it, it looks like everything is aligned right. I've bought thermal paste since the one I have is left over an hour away. I've attached and reattached the cooler after trying to re-seat the cpu. I tried to check if the thing would just POST really quickly without the cooler and without it. Yes I'm crazy. I did it without the cooler to see if it would just quickly do it and because again the thermal paste is now on its way and will be delivered tomorrow. Done the same thing with the RAM, no beep codes :/
