    Motherboard Selection

    Hey guys, my friend is looking for some answers...i'll directly quote one of his posts in another forum: Well, I started planning on building my first PC and I have everything picked so far except a Mobo. I know I need Socket 939 because I picked out a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice. I also want...

    Ultra X-Connect 500W failed me twice in a row!

    Well I got mine for $30, pretty cheap, so I just got one. It's not being stressed and I've only had it a week and a half but no problems at all. In fact, it's awesome for me.

    7800 GTX from Best Buy?

    all i have to say is that for the average non superbly enthuiast i must have the highest settings type person, a $160 6600GT would make me extremely happy. Then again, I am very limited on my budget, and that's why I've had the 9800 Pro for a while. (1.5 years) and I got it for $120 with some...

    $40 for a Chenming 301 w/ 350W PSU and without a lower fan cut in the side window. Piece of junk imo....was okayish for a whil, hard installl.....mehhh...

    Gaming Headset with Mic

    I have PC-150's.....AWESOME STUFF. Really, I got them for $35 off amazon, see if you can pull something off like that too. Really, the quality if kickass, no certain range sticks out a ton, and the really low bass is actually audible for one and not ignored. Great stuff.

    Thermalright XP-120 or Zalman CNPS7700-Cu?

    Consider an XP-90C as well, even if 80mm fans are typically louder w/ less airflow. They do a pretty good job for about that price range. I'd go with the 7700 just because it's copper though. Close one there.

    Suggestions for an HDTV

    Panasonic makes awesome quality - beats out nearly everyone, even Sony runs for their money on this one. I don't know the exact model, but we got a Panasonic 42" something.....3 tuners, KICK ASS lol. No wonder my dad won't let me upgrade my comp - we're broke! *runs*

    Which video card

    I'd go for the X800, it'll probably give a bit more performance and last a bit longer....good luck through the financial problems. :(
