Recently I decided to upgrade from an amd opteron 932 to a i7 920. These are my components http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813128374 GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD4P http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811119160 COOLER MASTER HAF 932...

Where do you get prices like those? An i7 for $199???

Well it's in the bios and bios are diffrent of course... But... Try looking for "Boot other devices" ~and or~ "Boot sequence (like what boots first CDROM-Floppy) and select Raid if not SCSI as the first boot device.

I think it's like HD's... they can't really use the full bandwidth provided by the SATA... This looks like the same scenario, yeah more bandwidth but do the video cards really need that ammount as of now? The mobo cost like $250 at Monarch... A bit too much for me.

Dropping the SoundCard and getting a better PSU and or Case sounds like a better investment. In respects to putting more into the AGP... Dunno I want to play at 1280x1024 resolutions so AGP ain't really going to give me that eh... there might be a card that does it but with the upgrade I...

Well I wasn't going for exterior looks. Just trying to get something solid. Eh.. something to replace my current $40 vanilla case... yeah... :( So how much more amazing can stuff sound with that new Creative sound card... vs the integrated sound... Dunno Maybe take it off the list and get a...

Hello everyone I'm wanting to upgrade my budget pc I put together about 1.5 years ago. Kinda tired of seeing BF2 on low settings... It's like I'm not getting what I paid for you know..(the visual quality of the game). I see this as a solid upgrade, not to cheap not too expensive but it...
