Upgrade your graphics card or play at lower resolution or setting nut looks of your system your using a mini ITX setup and wouldn't really use one for gaming as I find them more suited for home theatre systems

Sidenote: Recently, I have needed to run the game as an administrator because of some launcher error I have been receiving (running in admin mode is the only way I have managed to bypass the error) - not sure if this would effect the fps or not but thought i'd mention it just in case...

no error ever with Win8 Pro 64bit or Win8.1 Pro 64bit launcher runs as default admin mode

After seeing the link to your system you have been sold a mini ITX system.

Good to hear since despite all the complaining, i've actually enjoyed using windows 8, of course i also use classic shell to go straight to desktop and get my button back, but other than that it's been running seamlessly for me.

Though, maybe you could help me figure something out. In your 8, is your desktop locked? My desktop for some reason requires UAC authorization for anything to be created on it, as such I can't use the Send To function to create shortcuts on the desktop, any ideas?

Nope I don't have this issue I just checked right now I would say maybe something's messed up somewhere I've had bad installs of 8 a few times.

Possibly classic shell is the issue I just use vanilla Win8 or 8.1 as intended by MS try removing classic shell

Hey Reaper, your right it is a mini ITX... I actually hadn't opened the box to check until I needed to in this forum... I know they are more suited for home theatre systems (which I also use it for), but will it do any damage if I put a bigger graphics card and power supply on it for now? If not, I will probably take the power supply and graphics card and use them in a new tower somewhere in the next few months, and just use them on this mobo for now...

The error I am getting is: FFXIV Launcher Error - Unable to complete version update [11035][30426] ... no idea why, just one day windows said their was a compatibility issue with it, it tried to fix it and have been getting the error message ever since... Like I said - at the moment I bypass it by running the launcher as an admin.

Try reinstalling the game via the downloader I noticed recently the installer/downloader change from pre launch try this if you have a fast connection on a good fibre connection game takes 10min to download.

What do you mean via the downloader? I have tried to reinstall from disc and redownloaded the updates required, but didn't seem to make a difference ... I did keep all my system settings though, maybe it's something that's in there which is causing it

I'd shoot upgrading your PSU to at least 6 if not 800w for future proofing, always better to have more than less when you really need it. I have an 800w in mine, because I plan to SLI in the future. However, your mobo doesn't really have the slots needed to run 2 cards so the 800w purchase would be for this, and your next tower if and when you build another one.

Gonzo is talking about the GTX 660 and it is a great card, you will have little to zero issues running any recent game on that.

edit: i really hope you didn't pay $1600 for that man

Great thanks again Radunas, think that is what I will work on - a 800w PSU & the GTX660 - then I will transfer them to a new tower when I build ... As long as this wont cause any damage to the mobo (being a mini ITX system)

haha... I talked him down to $1,400 if thats any better lol... I know its bad I usually go for custom builds but I was playing it on ps3 and it was shit, my old pc was like 8-9 years old and I just wanted a quick fix....coming back to bite me now...
