    Want to upgrade...Help me decide please

    Well, at least you all are passionate about GPU's. Again, it's all good. :) As for the monitor, honestly, it was just a starting point and I think i found a few others that I'm going to go into Fry's or Microcenter this week and take a look at for myself. Thanks again.

    Want to upgrade...Help me decide please

    I currently have a Evga 9800 GT that has treated me very well over the years. I would like to upgrade a bit, not pay too much and finally bring myself up to take advantage of DX11 and increase my FPS. I would love to stay with EVGA if possible (I've had great service from them over the...

    Adding More Memory

    Right now I have Crucial Ballistix BL12864AA804.16FD3 DDR2-800 2x 1024 MB at DDR2-1066 and would like to add another two. I just can't seem to find this identical memory (purchased a year 1/2 ago). If I just get more ballistix ddr2-1066 ram will that work? Do I need to worry about timings...

    LotRO: Mines of Moria buddy key

    So I purchased LOTRO: Shadows of Angmar a little over a year ago (boxed version) but because of some craziness in my families life (wife was ill), I put it on hold. I saw MOM this week in a store and it reminded me that the original was sitting on a shelf. Can I just install the original game...

I just built a new machine and would like to get an 8800 as well but don't want to spend $ on a GTS if a this better card, for less money is right around the corner (say a couple weeks). Or will it be announced in a couple weeks...

    New Build - Would love your help

    Just wanted to update those who responded to this thread: The new build is finished. I ended up buying a Coolermaster case (Centurion 5 - it's great) instead of using my old case. I also went with Vista (the oem of of Vista Home Premium was $99 when I went pick up the parts from M-wave). It's...

    L.A. Computer Show - Fair???

    I am about to pull the trigger on a build that some of you helped me create on this forum (thanks!) but am wondering if I should simply hold off for the L.A. Computer show next weekend. I haven't been to this show in 6 years (back then the deals for a complete system was great) but have no...

    New Build - Would love your help

    Thanks so much for helping pick the parts. Now I just need the bravery to actually pull the trigger and try building this thing. The last time I had a buddy put it together, I "sorta" watched but this is going to be a new experience for me. I guess my biggest fear is frying something...
