1) PC will be mostly used for gaming 2) $1000 budget, NOT including videocard 3) Buying in the USA 4) No particular brand preference, but it will be a 2500k build 5) Display, GPU, mouse, and keyboard I already have, GPU is a Geforce GTX 460 768MB 6) I have read some similar...

So thanks to some of your help with my parts decision thread a few weeks ago, I finally have my rig up and running. Here are the specs. Q6600 G0 L8 batch Xigmatek S-1283 Mushkin DDR2-800 EVGA 750i SLI FTW Corsair 750TX Antec 900 Samsung 750GB Spinpoint Geforce 6800 Ultra Video card...

I have a 22" LG, 1680x1050 Resolution I believe. And I don't need to be able to crank say, Crysis to maximum, but I would like to be able to run Age of Conan, Bioshock, basically anything that's come out this past year and coming year at high settings. I just haven't been able to do much PC...

Well, I think I can get by without SLI if I wait the month for the new GPU's. Mostly just wanted an option for an SLI board in just in case. And yeah, I figured I'd need a pretty wide case for those coolers.

I haven't built a rig in almost 4 years, so I'm extremely out of touch with what hardware is good anymore. I'm looking to build a system that'll last 1-2 years and will handle everything I throw at it. My main problem is finding a good OCing MB. Here's what I'm looking at so far and my...

I've decided I'm either gonna go with the Geforce 6800 GT or the X800XL. Still looking into the two. For motherboards, I'm looking at the epox and MSI boards. I don't really care to get a picky board like the DFI, and poassive cooling isn't that important to me. One last question before...

After reading everyone's responses here and everywhere else I've posted, everyone seems to reccommend upgrading to PCIe... Although I was gonna hold off on buying a video card, I figure what the hell, I might as well just upgrade everything now. So now I need a good PCIe overclocking board...

I'm getting a socket 939 Athlon 3000+. After thinking about it and listening to what everyone has been telling me, Im\'m starting to leran towards a complete upgrade and upgrading my graphics card to a PCIe Geforce 6800 GT. So thoughts on a PCIe mobo would be much appreciated, and although...

Can anyone reccommend a solid AGP Athlon 64 motherboard? I'd like it if it has 2 ethernet ports as well and onboard audio is a huge plus too. Otherwise I have to buy a soundcard and a switch.... Also, I plan to overclock my Athlon 64 as much as possible, and don't want to be limited by the...

I've been looking around and realised that there are no boards that have both an AGP and PCIe slot, so I decided to just go with an AGP only board. It would cost me another $150 or so to bu a PCIe card that would give me about teh same performance as my radeon 9700 Pro. So now to rephrase my...

Ok, I'm upgrading my PC, and I've decided to go Athlon 64. Simple enough choice. After looking at prices, I figured the Athlon 64 3000+ is really cheap, and I can probably overclock it to at least3200+ range I'm hoping. Now here's where I need help. I need a motherboard with an AGP slot...

yeah, I was really leaning towards the dual core. Few quick questions on it though. 1) anyone have any problems with it? how is overclocking? 2) is there a chance for a price drop in the coming months? cheapest price for the x2 3800+ at the moment is $409. still a bit high for me. 3)...

Hey all. I'm looking to upgrade 3 main components of my PC, but am unsure of what to get at the moment. I need to upgrade my CPU, mobo, and RAM. I currently have a 3 year old 2500+ Barton OC'd to a 190 FSB (mobo couldn't handle more, and teh CPU is locked), so I'm thinking an Athlon 64 would...

Wow, thanks for all the great advice guys. My school doesn't let you major in both computer engineering and computer science, so I'll probably just major in CE and take every computer course I can in my elective slots, since it seems I need to be familiar with quite a bit of computer languages...

I'm not sure if I can get an internship this summer, mainly because I need AT LEAST one job just to be able to afford college. I'll probably end up working two jobs if I can to make enough money for next year, and hopefully the year after. Then after that I *hopefully* have 2 summers before I...
