switching video cards won't make the system any less likely to work. you can use an nvidia card with an amd processor, it is fully supported.

Can you handle a windfall of $? I'm starting to believe that I cant

you actually don't have a windfall since you are still vested in equities.

My $2k build, don't let me mess this up!

2K is so much money. I spent around 250 bucks on a computer 3 years ago (not including keyboard, mouse, and monitor) and it is plenty fast. I've spent another couple hundred on upgrades along the way: a 120GB SSD, faster processor, more RAM, and faster video card. So for about $450 I got: Dual...

is my HDD ok?

OP: You could also backup to online service if you don't mind your data being held by a 3rd party. Also you should only need to backup documents and the like, not entire programs, so the amount of space you use is relatively small.

Free 1 gram of gold or 1oz. of silver

Only got my $50 back. They wouldn't send the money from the free gram of gold, as I hadn't done anything with it. If you put some legit activity on your account and do a bit of trading you should be able to withdraw it.

Overhead Press will not go up

OP -- see brikis98's post for a description of a soft deload (I usually do 10% when soft deloading). Do this before trying fractional plates. Also don't be afraid to review form videos or post them online, this is a valuable tool for both safety and increasing how much you can lift.

Best PSU for $55

I have a similar rig OP. I have an OC'd Phenom II X2 which takes about 30W less power. At about 90% load my computer uses 220W AFTER inefficiencies. I'd doubt you'd ever use much more than 300W. The problem lies in the 12V rail in the power supply. Most of the components will stress this and...

I have a Phenom II X2 555 black edition OC'd to 3.8GHz and a radeon 4850 video card in my rig. When I play the latest call of duty, my computer uses 220W of power as measured by a kilowatt. you will need a pretty beefy system to use 1000W of power.

Push ups for a 5 year old

The best way to get better at an exercise is to simply keep doing that exercise until you've reached your target. Even if he can't do any pushups his first try, keep trying again, or have him do something easier than a pushup. Also, pushups and pullups use very different muscles, so if he...

Daily shoes that strengthen your legs?

Just wanted to say gyms aren't stupid, if you are doing a proper workout with barbells then most people will want to go to the gym (unless you are willing to invest in and maintain a home set). OP: There are no such thing as special shoes to make your legs stronger. If you want strong legs...

Stronglifts changed?

Not sure myself. To quote someone from Stronglifts: "I think it changed for simplicity's sake. People were worrying too much about the accessory exercises and missing the point. Do which ever one you want, I liked doing the chins/push-ups with the barbell rows. "

Toning shoes (MBTs/Shapeups etc.)
