    $900 Gaming Build Help

    Quick question, is there a huge difference between the 7970 and 7950?? I was thinking of getting that 7950 + Team Vulcan Ram $325 or should I opt for this Sapphire 7970 for $330. As I mentioned, he doesn't need to play everything at ultra settings, high would be fine. Thanks

    Which LCD HDTV/Monitor is better

    Yea, I found out there was a T240HD version as well, but now I'm debating whether to get the 24" or the 26". I mean it seems the same, but its about an extra $50-$80 bucks for two more inches. Wondering if i should just save the money and get the 24".

    Well, I guess it's not really considered "fix". Basically he just wanted to use it again but it wasn't working.
