I have an xbox one controller plugged in while playing specifically for aircraft. KB+M works fine on the ground, then when I fly I grab the controller. Controller is the only way to fly in this game - I am top 1% in bombers and top 3% pilot.

Without a doubt, eVGA. Best VGA manufacturer out there, great customer support and lifetime warranty.

Yeah, sorry. It was a black friday deal. There is an Asus going in and out of stock for $185 AR AC though. EDIT:The asus is available for auto-notify and the MSI has apparently been in and out of stock as well. I used coupon code VGABLKNOV for 10% off, not sure if it still works

Deals for the GTX 470 are already here. Picked up the MSI GTX 470 for $158 AR from newegg.

First off, thanks for the help! So I've had an issue with my computer recently, with windows 7 not wanting to boot unless i played around with how it booted (debugging mode, etc). Today, it would not boot no matter what I did, so i figured it was time to reinstall the OS. Well, my computer...

If you think that passing through audio via HDMI is a possibility in the future, a cheap 5000 series is your best bet as it can utilize all the latest audio formats (lossless bitstreaming), aka Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD. Otherwise just get whatever is cheaper (nvidia 200 series or up, ati 5000...

Hey guys, looking at buying the Haier HL40XP1, it's on sale near me for $399. Can't seem to find much on it but was wondering if anyone has any insight towards the tv/brand. Thanks!

Quick question regarding the 5850, didn't think it needed a new thread, I have an OCZ 600w modular PSU that has 1 6pin and 1 8pin PCIe connectors. I just realized that the 8pin doesn't fit with the reference cooler. Is using the molex->6pin just as good? thanks!

Sorry, $276. Go to ewiz.com, click the xfx 5850 for $299.99 reference cooler (allows for voltage mod), use coupon MAGIC15 for $15 off. I also used Bing Cashback for $9. Total = $284.99 - $9 BCB. Also ended up making a second account to reuse the coupon (different payment / address) and...

Thanks for all the help guys, I just bit the bullet though and got a xfx 5850 for $275. Figure with this my computer will not need an upgrade for ~2 years (at least I hope!).

Would it be worth it to just get a xfx 5850 for $285? Is the extra money worth the jump in performance? I figure at this point if i got the 4890 I would spend the difference on a power supply anyways.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'm leaning more towards the 5770 at this point. Also res is 1920x1200, play a lot of company of heroes, Batman: AA, maybe some starcraft, crysis.

So I'm currently finishing off my new computer and am in a bit of a situation regarding graphics cards. Here's my system specs: Antec 300 Illusion (3x120mm, 1x140mm) Phenom II X4 945 4GB (2x2GB) Corsair XMS3 1333 WD Hard drives (500 blue and a 1.5tb green) OCZ modxstream 500w 9800gt...
