So you say I should prioritize resolution over refresh rate?

Hi, I’m looking for a new monitor that will replace my current HP LP2465. I want it to be bigger, be an IPS or PLS panel, non PWM and flicker free. I’m not a hardcore gamer, but I do play games, and I enjoy ultra or high graphics quality. I rarely play fps intense games, but I hate...

This is of course true :) In this egotistical throwaway society everyone has forgot the power and reward of making the right choises, right for the environment, right for the population at large and morally/ethically right. But this is a whole other discussion :)

Ok, I'm choosing between: Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB (CL10) Corsair Vengeance 4x4GB (CL9) You say that I should go with 2x8 due to stress for the motherboard. I haven't heard about this issue before, are you sure about this? The 2x8 has a higher cas latency, but from what I understand the...

Hi, thanks for your reply. First of all what I mean by future proofing is a time span of 5-6 years of playing the latest games. I realize that playing the latest future games six years from now on a computer with the specs I've listed will not be as smooth (with everything set to high) as...

Thanks for your reply. This is very interesting, I think you have a very good argument here :) I know that Ivy Bridge uses the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, and that Ivy Bridge suffers from heat problems. But my knowledge about differences of the two stops here. Are there any arguments for...

Hi, thanks for your reply. I agree that this maybe belongs in the General Hardware subforum, but I don't know how to move it, and maybe moderators are the only ones that can. "If it's going to be future-proof, why would you need to upgrade?". Well, what I meant when writing upgrade was...

Hi! I’m building a new rig. When it comes to graphics card I’ve looked at ASUS GeForce GTX 670 2048MB DirectCUII TOP. I have heard that it is quiet (which is important to me) and very good. In the future I will run SLI, but I’m wondering what happens with the fans and the heat? Since the...

Hi! I’m building a new rig. My priorities are: - It must be future proof as I upgrade infrequently. - I prefer the most bang for the buck. - Good quality of the components. - It must be quiet (no water cooling). - Applications are primarily gaming (the latest games). These are the...

ok, which one is best: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3, Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R or Gigabyte P35-DS4 ?

I just realized something. If I install Vista some day, will I experience problems since i read that Vista is 64bit and Core 2 Duo isn't a real 64bit?

Well, I need to change my PSU aswell, any suggestions?

Hi, I'm in the process of upgrading my computer to be able to play the latest games again. I'm looking to get the most bang for the buck. So this is what I've decided for the moment: Abit AB9 Pro Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Corsair TWIN2X 6400C4 DDR2, 2048MB CL4, E.P.P Technology PowerColor...
