I'm not sure if I can do this here, but I have a like new i5 4690k + asrock extreme3 for $310 shipped. Bought last Christmas and only used to show system works. Upgraded to z97 sabertooth and i7 4790. Still have boxes and warranty

I'm in need of a new case and I'm having problems picking out one that would work. My wants: Gromits for cable management Full tower Removable hdd cages Tons of air flow Big cpu cutout (current case, haf 922, doesn't have it big enough Separate compartment at bottom for psu and radiator Full...

goals: x2 gigabyte hd 7970 ghz I5 2500k Corsair tx850 (enough power for custom loops?) Id like to do a custom watercooling loop for my system. Going with a cheaper (its still going to be expensive, let's be real) route, how would I put together a custom watercooling loop (I know about...

I'm upgrading to, at least, an 850w psu, though.

@PhIlLy ChEeSe: I currently have a rosewill 600w psu. Model number: RP600V2-S-SL

Oh sorry. Specs (so far): evga gtx 560 Coolermaster haf 922 (mid tower) 1tb hdd Intended use: definitely overclocking i5 4670k (from what I've heard its worth) Upgrading to gtx 660 sli Will raid0 1tb hdd's, and just use 1 ssd for os Sound card would be great with my p11's

So, im upgrading from a Gigabyte Angelica2 uATX mobo w/an amd fx 6120 processor. Im looking at the lga 1150 socket mobo's because ive found the i5 4670k to meet my gaming needs. What motherboard would you recommend? Im going to be wired into my router when i game. Ive heard that Gigabyte and...

Again, I'm not looking for opinions, but the how-to. Too many of these posts get flagged down with people recommending it not being done for some reason or another. I want to know how-to do it, opinions out the door. Is there someone here who actually knows how to do this? My laptop has huge...

I know that I need to go to the bios, but how do I overclock the 3610qm? My laptop can handle the heat, for sure, but how do I do it? Any help would be great and I realize that its a laptop and some people think its not worth overclocking. I'm not looking for opinions but the how-to. Thanks

I know that to overclock the i7-3610qm id have to go to the bios, but what value do I set the overclocking part to? I have gtx 660m in mine and was wondering if oc-ing the cpu would make improvements in game performance. Most of the games that I play are gpu intensive, but I'm curious if...

Try msi barebone laptops. On ebay, a gtx 660m one starts at $550. You need to get your own cpu, ram, and hdd. A i7 3630qm will go in the $200 range. Msi has some cool options on barebones, starting with a gt 650m ($500) and going to a gtx 680mx ($950 barebones, i think). Its something that I...

Well, kind of irrelevant but since I started this topic id like yo say that I found a great deal on an Alienware m17x r4 for $850 locally with a warranty. Im upgrading the gpu to a amd 7790m or a gtx 680m soon. Hope you're enjoying the sli on your lenovo. I can do sli too but the gtx 680m's...

So, where can i buy another gt 650m for this laptop? I have $850 and id like to buy the second gpu later. Where would i purchase it from?

Yeah. Y500. Its great but if you need a blu-ray drive, still go with it. The gt 650m is like 10% slower than the gtx 660m. So both laptops standalone with 1 gpu really wouldn't make much of a difference. The y500 let's you put x2 gt 650m's in it, making gaming performance up to 30% better than...

3) well the only gimmick with sli is the micro stuttering. I don't know how this works or happens, but I know it causes frame rate drops, here and there in a sporatic amount. I think its that both gpus take turns rendering a frame and they may not be synced. Something like that 4) you would...
