    Soundbar recommendations for family room TV setup...

    new vizio line any good? Wireless satellites I would consider. Could easily slide the flat sub behind my couch to connect to them.

    Soundbar recommendations for family room TV setup...

    avoiding satellites is part of the reason I'm looking at a sound bar solution. Yamaha YAS-203 is fairly highly marked on various sites. https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-YAS-203-Bluetooth-Wireless-Subwoofer/dp/B00MIYEJ9Y/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 Thoughts?

    Soundbar recommendations for family room TV setup...

    Need something for our main living room TV that i'm about to add an Xbox One S to. TV is a Samsung 55" JS8500. Will be running TV (FiOS) through the xbox one S. Trying to stay under $600. Mainly just want something for better movie watching/gaming sound, especially since the Xbox One S will...

    Are you buying a GTX 1070/1080?

    probably going to add in another 8GB ram while i'm at it. Maybe even a new Samsung 256/512 GB SSD to replace the 128GB crucial M4.... No idea where to start with the monitor.

    Are you buying a GTX 1070/1080?

    anyone with thoughts/experience with these cards and a slightly older system based around the i5? Also would love a 27" monitor, or 34" wide....

    Are you buying a GTX 1070/1080?

    Seeing as you are a fellow i5 2500k owner, is the 2500k going to be a bottleneck to this card? I have the same ram as you also, 8gb corsair vengeance. I was thinking of getting a 1070, and upgrading my SSD from a crucial M4 to an 850 Pro, maybe adding another 8GB of RAM. Worth it? I'm also...

    Upgrade for x1900xtx

    Lot's of good stuff in here. Thanks guys. Now I am questioning the 5000 series card since if I am going to do a new build next year, why bother with a DX 11 card this year? Though on the flip side, I'm not sure the 4000 series cards are less $ to the point where it would be worth it...

    Upgrade for x1900xtx

    any other thoughts, or is the XFX card the way to go?

    Upgrade for x1900xtx

    I've never owned an XFX card before, and have had pretty good luck with sapphire over the years. XFX I would assume is pretty decent and reliable in recent years?

    Upgrade for x1900xtx

    I am looking to upgrade my current machine instead of doing a new build. Easiest would be the video card and Ram to 4GB. What would be a good card to replace an x1900xtx? This is to hold me over for a year or so until I can justify building a new box with an i7 proc most likely...

    Replacement for ASUS A8R32-MVP

    I need to RMA my A8R32-MVP, but if the price is right, I wouldn't mind just replacing it with another 939 motherboard. Any reccomendations? If the price is right I would rather just buy a new one than suffer 3-4 weeks or more of downtime waiting for ASUS to ship a new one back. Current...

    System drive about to kick it...XP or Vista after replacement?

    I actually do not have a DX10 card anyway, and don't think I am going to upgrade at this point. However, with this development, I am actually considering buying a 150GB WD Raptor from newegg on sale this week for $164 shipped: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822136012 This...

    System drive about to kick it...XP or Vista after replacement?

    I have a 74GB Raptor HD that is beginning to show early signs of failure. I use this drive as my system drive, so when I get it replaced (under warranty hopefully), a reinstall is going to be necessary. The question here is, do I go with XP Pro SP2 or Vista Ultimate? I ask because the...

    Hopefully will have my eSATA cable in today. Can't wait to try this sucker out. I didn't want to cheapen the experience with USB 2.0 ;)
