This is good to know. I was debating on whether to chance buying the upgrade at $70 or the system builder version for $140. Think I'll be getting the system builder version.

I just returned the Xonar DG. Sound was amazing, but the card's microphone port never worked.

I have a Sennheiser PC360 G4ME (I use strictly for games) that I use for my xbox 360/PC/Asus ROG laptop and it's great. It does use 3.5mm plugs for headphones/mic (not USB), but I'm sure your laptop does as well. I've used it with onboard sound, sound cards, and DAP, and it sounds and feels...

I'm using a H100 with a i5 2500k @ 4.5ghz, push/pull setup. At idle the highest core temp is 44-45c, while the other cores idle at 38-39c. While gaming (BF3, ultra settings), the temps never break 51c at the most, but I'm thinking about replacing the thermal paste to shave off a few degrees...

Got all my parts yesterday and put it together today (I'm typing on the new build). Everything is great so far! Will post pictures if anybody is interested. The build was fairly easy to put together and it looks nice and clean. Windows experience index lowest score was from my SSD at a 7.4...

Forgive my ignorance, but what's to stop somebody from buying two iPads with a credit card and then selling them overseas for an inflated price?

I bought it because I got a decent deal on it - I'll probably just buy another one in the future. I meant that I'd be overclocking my cpu/memory. Sorry for not being clear about that.

Well, I ended up going all out in my build, making a lot of changes and disregarding a lot of advice. I figure I might as well since I'm not going to make another build for another 3 years or so. In the end it cost $1,666.01 (with shipping/rebates/cashback) and I purchased all parts from...

I have a 52" LCD HDTV with 240Hz refresh in my bedroom, which I sometimes use to play PC games on. I much prefer the 24" LCD mostly because of neck strain, but also due to ease of use. ;)

Two builds I'm debating on right now: AMD build Mobo - GIGABYTE GA-790FXTA-UD5 (out of stock ATM, but I was impressed by its features) CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE Video - SAPPHIRE 100281-3SR Radeon HD 5870 PSU - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) SSD -...

Sorry, just read that you tried replacing memory.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I'm doing research and considering whether I want to spend $1500+ now, or spend less and upgrade certain parts later. I think that this is something that everybody thinks about, but I'm leaning towards buying the best parts possible now and then waiting two...

Hi guys, I've got a bit of expendable cash that I would like to put towards a new computer. It will be used strictly for gaming, and I hope to make it last for the next couple years by upgrading parts from time to time. Any insight on the best route to go would be appreciated, as I haven't...

Yeah, my savings account is currently at 2.65% when a year ago it was 3%. Was gonna get a CD but the ones I've found have been so low that it's not worth it. So basically, unless I'm ready to upgrade to i7 with all the parts required to make that transition, hold off until I've saved enough...

I have a $500 budget and just want to update my current system with whatever will help it the most. I was thinking that I would like to replace my motherboard with something that will allow me to upgrade more in the future and perhaps my video card as well. Would welcome any suggestions. I...
