Alright, that sounds good•

Alright I'll see what I can afford, the $195 660 or the $125 650 ti. Thanks for the help. Is there a way to give +rep or something?

Ok thanks. Does the timings of the ram matter much, like the 9 9 9 24 or 11,11,11,28 in this case?

I'm thinking about getting this ram, would it be good? Should I look for ones with better timing, like 9 9 9 24 or whatever, or would the lower voltage on this be better? I assume this computer won't be able to run it at like 2133mhz or any overclocked thing, but i might as well buy it for...

Is there a way to have an idea of how loud it would actually be? Because my laptop has a fan which is pretty loud (laptop is a lenovo y580 btw) but it doesnt really bother me too much. Is there a decibell rating of how loud it is?

Well the thing is that i'm going to be using mostly after effects and premiere (which can benefit a lot from it, more than photoshop i believe), and then I want to be able to run more graphically advanced games (like metro 2033, bf3, bfbc2 (it runs on low but with bad fps). Not sure where you...

Thank you, :P. But don't the newer kelper/6xx series cards preform worse at compute stuff? It appears that there isnt much of a diffefence between all of the different cards, like 30 second renders vs 20 seconds. That one is for photoshop, which uses openCL allong with cuda (I believe) so if I...

US What about for cuda work

Way to reply to something like 2 pages ago instead of answering my question. jk, but actually, will 1 8gb stick fit in?

And the 8gb stick would work with it? I'm kinda worried that its too old or sometign and needs 2 4gb sticks.

Where would I check for a bios update/how? And what would a bios update even do? Do I need to clean it out with compressed air? :O I mean the computer only has like 2 crappy fans so i dont think its going to get much airflow anyways. I think i'll do the $300 for the gtx 660 ($195, the $90 ssd...

Alright, if its that big of an increase then I'll go with the 660, plus I can always SLI it in the future (on another build obviously, lol) if I need to. I am constantly using all 4gb when I'm working on big projects and ram previewing long clips in after effects, but in premiere its fine. I can...

GTX 560 vs 660? Is it worth the extra ~$60 for the 660? How much of an improvement will it be over he 560? (buying one of these, not upgrading from a 560 to a 660). Bare in mind that I'm going to be using this mostly for gpu acceleration in adobe cs6 (and possibly c4d or some 3d software), as...

I would totally do that if it werent for NVIDIA and their damn contract with adobe. Their mercury playback engine (basically just gpu acceleration) uses cuda (because nvidia payed them i assume) so the nvidia gpus are the only ones that work with it. Hopefully by CS7 or something it will work on...

Wait, so how do i tell which type of motherboard I have? Is it a micro atx? Regular atx? I'm kind of confused at what you need.
