    Summer PC Project - Updates/Upgrades

    So I took the advice from the board last time I was here with my current rig and haven't had too many complaints. I was encouraged to do some light OC'ing and upgrade my GPU and have enjoyed the results. Unfortunately my case or mobo now thinks there is always a set of headphones plugged in...

    Upgrade Advice - Please HELP!

    So here is my situation. I built a fairly capable machine a few years back and thus far it has performed like a beast. Since the release of the latest WoW xpac, I've notice system performance is down. I replaced the video card, increased the RAM, but still it seems it is coming down to my 2500k...

    Attention Mid-Range System Builders - Updated 08/01/2015

    Thanks lehtv, I actually really like that case you linked. I've thought about it a couple times tbh. I might pull the trigger on it though. Skott - I honestly don't want to clutter the board when I can add a reply to a thread. Asking for an update to a thread in which that mfenn has kindly...

    Attention Mid-Range System Builders - Updated 08/01/2015

    mfenn!! I need an update! Work your magik please! Oh and thank you. Also, with the case choices, they r all so gawd awful hideous, can you toss me a few options since you shot down the 300v2? And last question, SSD caching vs all out SSD+storage drive? I've seen some comparisons and read here...

    New Custom Gaming PC

    Another quick note, about the Mobo. In another thread the GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 was recommended highly, this vs the asrock? (note, I've had an asrock previously and an abit and have been more than pleased with the performance.) In my post above I brought up the 570 and i'm still on the fence...

    Attention Mid-Range System Builders - Updated 08/01/2015

    Hey, quick question on the case. I know the Haf 912 has been the go to, with the recent review of the antec three hundred two, i'm leaning towards it instead. Opinions? I'm looking to pull the trigger on this rig in the next week. I also want to go with a 570... is this a worthwhile upgrade for...

    Tear down question concerning a dell box

    So years back I bought a dell box system for my son. it's an e4500 and I happen to have an extra board for that processor. Is it possible to part out the dell? The board is an ECS board and I have a spare 8800gt laying around, so I figured a case and a new psu and I'd be moving in the right...

    Just another build thread, but I have legitimate questions!

    Well by definition, it could be an investment. While I'm not looking to profit off of it, I am buying and building it myself as it will be something useful to me in the future, so I don't have to pay someone else to use theirs. Either way. I've spoke on the price point. I put out my wishlist...

    Logitech G9x vs Rat 7 or 9?

    Hi! So I often chime in when I see something of interest and this is no different. I'm a mouse whore. No really, I am. I've gone through many mice in my day and have a wide variety(Lachesis, Naga, G5, G7, 518(still one of my favorite mice of all time, aside from the looks), MS Arc, etc) The list...

    Just another build thread, but I have legitimate questions!

    So below is the original posting, I just decided to edit, rename, didn't feel the need to waste space. So after much debating I've decided to build a new rig. I was previously Dispair here on these boards but can't seem to remember my old password, so I can't access my old tag... :\ I was...

    Evga GTS 450 $89.99 - 7/30 - 7/31 - Incorrect Listing by EVGA - DoA

    Wow. I'm pretty shocked at the response that was received for trying to post a hot deal from an email I received. I'm sorry I wasn't able to get to my computer all weekend as I was in DC for my father's retirement. I didn't even think about the deal once I left home on Friday. Either way, I...
