    660 TI, 7870 or 7950?

    I went 7870... at the time I bought it was $214, the other two were closer to $300. For the small difference in performance, I couldn't justify the increase in price. Had I waited a week (bought last week), I would have probably jumped all over the MSI 7950 Twin Frozr edition for $276, from...

    Which 7870 to buy?

    I bought the xfx brand 7870 double dissipation because it was only $214 at the time... so far its working pretty well... I have lightly overclocked it to 1075/1300 and it is rock solid stable. Haven't had time to overclock it further and test it but for now this is good enough, nothing that I...

    Well, Ebay for the win! (Battlefield 3 complaint)

    You should have just bought it on Origin for $30 - it's been on sale there for a while for that price.

    Mass Effect 3 . . . Yay or Nay Thread: No Spoilers

    As far as I am concerned it is basically the perfect game, there is 20-30 hours of gameplay/story depending on your play style and it has a great story line. I hate modern games where there is 50+ hours of gameplay because I start hating the game after a little while. There is a small part of...

    Best router?

    My dlink is a first generation dir-655. I have tried new firmware and different wireless cards and the problem isn't getting any better. I dont know if competing signals would create a problem but thought it might be worth mentioning. All of the routers i have been looking at are dual bad with...

    Best router?

    I am trying to figure out which router I should buy to replace my ageing Dlink DIR-655. I have looked at a few Asus Routers RT-N56U and the RT-N66U as well as the linksys e4200 and the Trendnet TEW-692. I am having trouble deciding which one I want/need. I live in a concrete hi-rise building...

    What video cards died on you? ;-p

    Hmm... I think my old ATI 9800 Pro died on me a few years back, other than that I've been pretty lucky.

    favorite CPU in all time?

    I really liked my old AMD Thunderbird 1400 way back in the day. Now - probably my current CPU (I5 2500k) it's been a good overclocker at 4.7 GHZ.

    Is this the end for AMD?

    Hopefully for video cards they can still manage to be relevant, they seem to be ahead of the curve lately.

    SB Owners, what is your next CPU upgrade?

    I think it will be a while before I upgrade. I am getting decent OC speeds on my 2500k - 4.7 ghz so unless some game comes out in the next few years that can tax that it is unlikely I will be getting something new.

    your least favorite cpu of all time?

    I wasn't a huge fan of my centrino 2 ghz chip. Paid way too much for a laptop with one about 5 years ago and the laptop didn't last all that long.

    System sufficient for office work until 2016?

    Just get prebuilt systems, no sense wasting your time building something that really doesn't need impressive stats. Plus many pre-builts come with office 2010 free.

    I think they sent beta weekend invites to pretty much everyone this time around. I haven't spoken to anyone of my friends that has not received an invite.
