It's listed as the correct monitor, and the default resolution is 1920x1080. The resolution doesn't change when the screen changes. It remains 1080p, and the only way I've been able to restore it is to go into catalyst under My Digital Flat-Panels> Properties (Digital Flat Panel) and select...

That make sense. The computer couldn't be quieter now. But regarding the resolution problem, I got it to work briefly, but it seems to repeat itself every reboot. I've tried many different display settings in catalyst and none work-- if the screen fits the display, it is blurry. If the screen...

Disregard that problem, the display scaling in catalyst was at 15% underscan by default. Put it to 0% and everything's perfect. Thanks notty22!

I thought I read somewhere that using both plugs caused the card to draw power from only 1 wire, but I just used both plugs and it took care of the fan problem. Apparently I mis-read ;) I re-installed the drivers and everything seems to be working now. Only thing that happened is I can no...

Hey guys, For some reason when my pc is on, this graphics card is so loud that it makes my ears pop and gives me a headache... I am running the 11.11 drivers. I also installed the AMD system monitor.. Opened it up, and all I see is my cpu info, and data useage--the radeon 6970 isn't showing...

I agree with avoiding chrysler... 6 months ago, I rented a chrysler 300 and took it on a 1,000mi trip. The first car had less then 2,000 miles on it. The transmission failed on the first day. I got another 300. On day two, the transmission on the second 300, also with less then 2,000 miles...

Good job! That's not slow, it is a good speed to work on endurance. In the past, I increased my running speed the most after using a stairclimber for 3 weeks. It kills.

I once got a trojan while loading a definition on dictionary.com... so I run Kaspersky. Running anti-virus will slow down your computer, but it really depends on how fast your system is. On my 5+ year old pc games run fine with it enabled. But I'd be lucky if I could check my e-mail while it's...

The main reason I chose the Vengeance was it clearly stated it is compatible with my cpu--less headache for a first time builder. Depending on how well it performs on Skyrim/BF3, I don't plan on overclocking so I will just use the stock cooler for now. Judging by the looks of the Nautilus 500...

Haha, the old, old Hitachi Deskstars used to overheat and die often, thus deathstar ;)

Alright, thanks. I returned the hyperx ram, and I'll order the corsair vengeance. My mb supports 1600 so I should be fine, then. Too bad it's too late to pick up the new ram with the BF sale! I did however see a 3TB hdd for $161.. Open box return that they tested and still has full...

Thanks for the info, didn't realize that about the ram. It looks like the i5 also limits the speed to 1333. The G.Skill is sold out, but I found this: Corsair Vengeance. It says it is compatible with intel core i5, but runs at 1600. Would I have to set the ram to 1333 in the bios, or is...

Alright guys, I bought all of the parts! About half from Fry's, other half from newegg. I changed a few parts based on what was available in stock, can return anything for 2 weeks if there's problems with anything. HERE WE GO :) CPU Intel Core i5 2500k Sandybridge, $199.99 from NewEgg. Power...

Never mind.

I'm not familiar with SSDs, what would be the purpose of having one?
