    i7 High End Gaming PC Build

    Alright, I'll get the GTX 285. Eventually I'll probably get another and SLI it if I feel I need the extra power. Does the Antec 900 support two GTX 285? I'm assuming a 750w Power Supply will still work. Thanks for the help.

    i7 High End Gaming PC Build

    Yeah, I definitely will be doing heavier gaming. I will be playing TF2, but also higher end games. The main reason that I want SLI/heavier power is for future games.

    i7 High End Gaming PC Build

    How much of a performance difference is between a GTX260 SLI and a single GTX285? It seems like the GTX260 SLI is significantly better than the GTX295. The price differential isn't that much between the two either. I could get a base GTX 260 for ~$190, so two for ~$380, whereas a GTX285 would...

    i7 High End Gaming PC Build

    Hi, It's been about 6 years since I've last built my own computer, so it's about time I build a new one. I can afford a pretty good computer, and I've done some research and have my build but would like some feedback to see if everything makes sense. It's a brand new build, no used parts...

    Computer doesn't boot

    Update: - Did the CPU trick, and heard nothing from the motherboard. - Tested the PSU out in my own computer, and it worked fine. So conclusion is that the motherboard is dead, right? Thanks.

    Computer doesn't boot

    Forget to mention, I already did short the jumper to clear the CMOS already, and no luck. I'll try taking out the CPU though, thanks. Also will try to get my hands on a PSU tester. My computer has an ASUS MB, though eVGA has always worked for me as well :)

    Computer doesn't boot

    Okay, my roommate built a new computer about 2 months ago. Last week, he shuts the computer down for the weekend, and when he comes back home 2 days later to turn it on - nothing. The computer will turn on, all the pretty fans will run, the motherboard lights up, but the monitor does not turn...

    Geforce 6800 overheating advice

    I have a Windows XP Pro system with a Geforce 6800. The card isn't overclocked, but lately I've been getting temperature warnings when I play games like World of Warcraft or Guild Wars. It's gone above 127° C when this occurs, and gives me a nice little warning about it and that it'll slow...
