I graduated from college last May, and have a "real" job now. I'm spending some money to buy the things I've always wanted, but couldn't afford.

Where can I find good unbiased reviews?

I checked, but they didn't have anything for compatible memory, except for PC4000 and up.

I am going to build a new gaming PC shortly, and have narrowed most of my components down to: DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR Athlon 64 x2 4400+ PC Power & Cooling 510 SLI BFG 7800GTX Antec P180 I have narrowed my system memory down to the following two choices: OCZ Titanium 2 X 1GB...

Well, it has come time for me to build a new pc, and quite a bit has changed since my last build. I have decided on the following components, and am wondering about the case. Would a atx-mid be large enough to hold all of this and have enough air flow? or would I need to find a full-tower...

Any other comments?

Thanks for the tips folks. I guess I need to do a little more research. Also, anyone else with comments or recommendations please post them. Thanks in advance.

I don't think I really need those. I am looking for performance more than bells and whistles...

Well, the case and the 512Mb cards are the least nailed down items I have. The PSU is up for grabs as well, and since new CPU's and Graphics Cards are coming soon, I guess the only thing that I'm pretty set on is the Motherboard, and the RAM.

That's what I built my last PC for. I graduated college a bit ago, and am working a "real" job now so money isn't tight.

Well, I am starting to look for components to build a new computer. I have built one in the past with help from a friend, and truly enjoyed it. I was fairly poor at the time and built the whole thing for $1200 w/o monitor or OS. I am looking to build a top end gaming PC for myself. The...
