Yes, I tried that. I'm thinking it's definitely the video card. I just tried a different PCI Express card from a shop, and things worked perfectly. I guess that I'll have to RMA this card.

Ok, I've been gaming along happily since I've got my new system, which is listed below. The other morning, I get up, and my monitor light just keeps blinking when I turn the machine on. Like it's in standby mode, sleep, or something. I tried a different monitor with the machine, and it...

BFG This BFG one above is a pretty damn good deal. Were I you, I'd probably opt for that one. If you want to snag an EVGA (step up program, overclock) one, there's also one of those for like $50 bucks more.

Looks like a really excellent build there, CTS. I have the same monitor and hard drive, and love both of them equally. I think you're going to be very happy. :beer: -Slip

I'm waiting for RD600 and R600. Hopefully by then, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes and The Chronicles of Spellborn will be in full swing.

I went with the G. Skill RAM that n7 has in the first link, and can say that it's been flawless thus far. I can't really see you going wrong with any of the RAM that he linked you. The build that you're considering is similar to the one that I just put together, and it looks good. Happy Hunting...

Yes, I'm going to crossfire in the future. Not sure when, but I'll probably stick with that until DX10 cards are more mature. I really like my monitor, and never really had any problem with it, and would recommend it to anyone. I already had the sound card, monitor, and GPU. All of the rest...

That's true, but that won't be the case here. In all seriousness, I'm very happy, and looking forward to many hours of gaming. :)

I just wanted to thank everyone here for the feedback, suggestions, and help from the forum. It wasn't an easy decision going to the Core 2 Duo, seeing as I had to adjust many other things, but in the end my new computer is phenomenal. Knock on wood, it's been stable and screaming for the past...

Well, if you're not building it from scratch, then I'd suggest these other sites as well. This way, you can still know what's going into your rig, and configure it - with someone else doing the installation. Link Link Link Link Good luck!

Yeah, I know crimson. I only said it in jest. I can't wait!!! :beer:

Looks like good RAM. I've already ordered from Newegg, so I'll just stick with that. They really do have great stuff at Tank Guys. To be honest with you, I totally forgot to go over there and compare. Thanks! :)

I don't know. The case has gotten pretty good reviews, and I've seen people around here mention it. Seems like it has nice functionality for the price, but that's just me. I'll see how it is.

I'm an avid WoW gamer. I have the X1900XT, and I couldn't be happier with the performance. Not a bad word to say about the card really. I hope this helps. :) The one thing you should know though, is WoW seems to hit the wall at 60-70 FPS. I made a post about this a few weeks back, and someone...

Yeah, couldn't agree more with you, pkme2. Their definitely blatantly, gouging these prices through the roof. I'm sort of in a rock and a hard place, and needed to put this together sooner rather than later (my father really needs a machine yesterday). I could have shopped around some, but I...
