Three questions:
1) Specs?
2) Why did you have somebody build it for you?
3) How much did you have to pay?

One problem with the monitor, it doesn't occupy the whole screen!

Black bars around the edges?

Is it an HDMI connection?

@ThirstyAvenge

You need to open AMD Vision Control Center, and in Configure Display section, it's the "Scaling Options" tab. Move the slider to the far right.

Did exactly that and It worked perfectly.

Thanks for the tip!

Not a problem.

I don't know if NVIDIA cards do it, but all AMD/ATI cards seem to default at 20% scaling when used with HDMI. It's a nuisance but a quick fix.

Nice specs man.

And how much did you pay that guy to build your computer?

It was free.

Plus, he did a really good job at cable management, they are neatly tucked behind the motherboard. If I decided to build it myself, that'll be the part where I'll encounter issues.

Ah....cool

How were you able to get it for free? Did you know the guy?

No, it was the people at the store. I even get a year of extra warranty.

Still haven't adjusted to this massive monitor. Not at all large (23") but coming from a 13" laptop, it's a massive difference.

Pretty satisfied with my choice of SSD, never had apps or the computer starting up that fast.

how do I overclock my hard drive?? its spinning at 5400 revetation pulls per minute but i want it to get higher than over 10000 revetation pulls per minute so that things can load quicker

I don't think you can "overclock" a hard drive.
