I just built a new system (specs are at the bottom) with an evga 7900gs and a Samsung Synchmaster 204B. I've got crazy display errors going on and none of the "IT professionals" I've talked to say the same thing or offer anything that helps. I'm hoping someone here can give me good advice...

Hi, I'm considering buying the 7900GS or the X1900XT for my new system. My main concern is running temp., idle and load. Does anyone know how these cards compare in terms of heat, power consumption, stability, etc.? Thanks! James

I have a question for bobthelost / howard both. Is there any way to make sure I'm getting the model I want from Newegg, or do they just ship whatever's in stock?

you're right. I don't have SLI NOW, but I might want it sometime in the future. I always like to be prepared :)

Bobthelost, you make a very good point, and if you're right that spending $100 will only slightly decrease the risk to a $100 piece of equipment is all you gain from using a top of the line PSU, then it probably isn't worth it. I still get the impression that PSUs, particularly those with a...

I think the main differences in our setup is that I'm planning on buying a $300 monitor, $120 case, and $200 power supply that are all included in the price I quoted. (from most of the research I've done the PSU sounds like a good long-term investment, notice the turbo cool 510w sli has an AVR...

That's exactly the other memory I'm considering! Since I don't have a good idea as to the performance/ stability difference I'd get with one over the other can you give me an idea of why you recommend the 800?

I just realized my links don't work... how embarassing. Here they are again, same order. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131028 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115003 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145015...

Would anyone recommend buying the 675 and UNDERclocking to 533 for better stability, since my fsb is 1066?

the P180 case has two optional fan spaces, I wanted to fill both of them. The 80mm puts air over the GPU.

oh, and I have no plans to overclock anything... thanks. James

Thanks for all the feedback! It's like I leave to grab a sandwich, come back, and there's 5 messages already!! d@mn! I want a versatile set-up, for light gaming (like playing older games that cost less), heavy on multi-tasking, DVD viewing, some DVD writing, engineering programs such as...

Hi!! I posted a potential system in this forum last week and got some awesome feedback. Since then I've updated many of my components per all of your recommendations (except the power supply which I REALLY WANT to keep in there). These are my plans for final purchases. Does anyone see...

About $1,900 including UPS and monitor. Plus shipping and OS and keyboard/mouse, altogether looking at about $2,100.
