    Help with gaming build

    Any particular brand for the 4870 1gig or GTX 260/216? Any real reason for one over the other? On the 295GTX: That card will be overkill for 1680x1050 correct? With video cards I tend to go for whats best for my resolution because bleeding edge vid cards seem to get halved in price...

    OC'ing E6400 as a complete newbie

    Dropped voltage down to 1.310 (or there abouts) and during prime its running at around 59 on load idles around 48 or so. One question I do have is that I put the 1.310 V in the bios.. when I look in CPU-Z it says 1.248V any idea why they are different? Also using CoreTemp to monitor temps.

    7800GT died on me, rv670 vs 8800GT

    Ok so as the topic says my 7800GT blew up on me, and I am stuck with onboard video now. I game only at 1280x1024 and probably will not go into higher resolutions for about a year. I know its speculation at this point and there are no real benchmarks, but the only way I want to wait until...
