Hello. I am in the market here to upgrade my current system to a decent gaming rig. I haven't been following the latest news so I admit I am out of the loop. I prefer a steady high minimum frame rate and at least medium eye candy settings. A budget build is what I am looking for since I am still...

Thank you guys for your input. I was leaning towards this motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/ASRock-Intel-Motherboard-G31M-S-R2-0/dp/B003WQ9U1O/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_0 It says it has a (1x PCI-Express x16 Slot) so I am guessing that would be fine for my video card despite it not stating its pci...

Hello. I recently had my GIGABYTE GA-X48-DS4 LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX intel motherboard die on me and I am in the market for a replacement. Unfortunately this particular model is not available anywhere I look so I was hoping you guys could help me find a replacement. I do plan to eventually upgrade...

I managed to pick up the tv and have a DVI to HDMI connector. I noticed text at the default resolution at 1920x1080 is slightly blurry. Games look great so far, but as for desktop use and browsing the internet, it seems blurry. Is this normal of large screen HDTV's? I was hoping it would look...

I finally fixed the problem. I installed CCC first, then extracted the 8.8 drivers to a separate folder. I then updated my drivers via device manager and browsed to that folder and it worked! Not sure why that worked, but I definitely glad its over. Thanks Mem for the help you tried to give :)

Yes, usually that is the case. But in my many times to get it to install right, I have issues from driver inf not found and other various install errors. I did not realize it was so difficult to install the latest video drivers. Compared to my old nvidia card (6800), it was a no hassle installation.

Hello. I recently build a computer with the following specs: Core 2 Duo E8500, ATI HD 4870 X2, 4 Gigs of RAM, and a Gigabyte GA-X48-DS4 motherboard. The issue I am having is getting the latest catalyst drivers to install properly. I try to install them and when everything shows up in device...

Hello! I want to thank the members here for the wonderful sticky for "system builders" which is where I looked to get the components for my new system. My old Pentium 4 2.53 Gz isn't cutting it anymore, and I have been saving 50 dollars here and there for around 3 years so I managed to squander...
