    Stick with what I have, or do some "future proofing"?

    Thanks so much for all the input guys! Looks like I'll be holding off on upgrading until a major increase presents itself. Perhaps I'll just splurge on a few games and a new headset (don't like my A40s). I appreciate it!

    Hey everyone! I haven't been on the forums in quite sometime, so forgive me for not being up to date on this stuff. Let's get down to the meat and potatoes of why I made this thread. Tax time is here, yay! I am wondering if I should use a good portion of that money to upgrade a few "older"...

    Bankruptcy(YALT)

    Malak, I feel your pain. I too had to file bankruptcy several years ago, and I am starting to regret it. Any "decent" bankruptcy lawyer (i know, is there such a thing?) will make sure you have exhausted all possible means of repayment to your creditors. Please look at bankruptcy as the VERY...

    St. Louis, no longer a blip on the crime radar

    Rockford?! No shit?? I knew Rockford wasn't exactly the greatest city, but I wouldn't think of them as being on a list as one of the most "crime-ridden". It has been quite a few years since I've been there tho, so It could've done a complete 180 on me.

    Need some advice for selecting first z68 board

    Yep.. my system seems to lag a lot more while playing Black Ops, or even WoW. A lot more than my GTX 460 did. As far as benchmarks are concerned, It's safe to say that someone who has a very similar system to me, should get the same marks as I do. I could see maybe a 300-500 point difference...

    Need some advice for selecting first z68 board

    No.. my WEI is like 6.0 for graphics... there's no reason why it should be that low with a 6990.. PLUS i ran 3dmark 11 and scored about 3k lower than similar rigs.. 2k alone in the vid area. I am pretty sure this motherboard/cpu is holding my gpu back.

    Need some advice for selecting first z68 board

    I'm actually planning on an SSD... A Kingston HyperX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820139601 So I got all that figured out.. I just need to figure out which board.

    Need some advice for selecting first z68 board

    Now see... I thought about doing that as well, but I'm pretty sure this motherboard is bottlenecking the GPU considerably. So if I was to replace the motherboard, I may as well go with current gen stuff and get a new cpu while I am at it.. that's my thought process, anyhow.

    Need some advice for selecting first z68 board

    Hello everyone! So I've decided it's time to upgrade from my I7-920 and my eVGA x58 SLI LE motherboard to something newer, since I've read in several places that 1366 is officially "dead". I'll give you guys a list of the things I am looking at, as well as what I will be re-using on the...
