Thanks guys. Really looking forward to getting this beast(compared to my pc now) built and running...any suggestions on games for this? I'm looking forward to Crysis but thats seems to be a ways off right now. I'll be building the system pretty much as you outlined Operandi...only comes out...

One more question (sorry for lying guys), would I be better off getting one 7950GT or two 7600GT? In other words is the 7950GT come with twice the performance for twice the price? Or would I be better off with the 7600GT and then adding a second 7600GT? Also considering that I won't be oc'ing...

One more quick question, is the stock Intel heatsink + fan good enough or should I look into a 3rd party here? I won't be overclocking for now...(the default settings will be such a huge upgrade I probably wouldn't even notice a significant difference by overclocking right now!)

So it seems Intel > AMD now a days...hmmm...didn't see that one coming. Oops on the socket mismatch...I had an AM2 chip in one of my browser windows but apparently clicked on the 939...good thing I stopped by here first! The bump up in RAM isn't a problem...was planning on getting another...

I haven't built a PC in about four years now and it's definitely time for a new computer. Since I haven't done this in a while, can y'all check out the below specs and make sure every thing is kosher? I'm keeping the case, DVD-RW, DVD, keyboard, mouse, speakers etc. from my current PC until I...

Best Buy has the GeForce 3 Ti 200 for $170 - $30 MIR = $140

I see everyone here talking about 70 -90 fps on max settings but I'm only getting about 30 fps...is there something wrong or is this about what I should be getting? I have an Athlon XP 1800, GeForce 3 Ti 200 (oc to 500/220) 256 MB DRR PC 2100, an Epox 8kha+. I'm using winxp pro. I'm running the...

I noticed Crucial has a 10% discount at their site...could be decent if there's a way to combine it with the Anandtech 15% discount...not sure if it can be done..their customer support is closed for the day.

Hey I had the same problem and got suggestions in this post....link

bump - any suggestions before I try formatting my hd?

When I play some games I get this wierd flashing type of thing on some of the textures. It looks like the texture is splitting up..I'm not really sure how to describe it..I think it's texture tearing but I'm not exactly sure what that looks like. It only happens in places where there are...

Ok, I just got a Gainward GeForce 2 Ti 450. I just installed it, and I installed the cd and everything. However, I have come across two problems with it. First off, I tried to play RTCW, but this error came up... GLW_StartOpenGL ()- Could not open OpenGL subsystem. Now, I thought I installed...

I'm looking for something to help organize all the cables I have outside of my pc...I saw this thing on tv(I think it was one of those cnet shows) a while back, it was a little coil thing that you could wrap the cable around and then just snap it in...not sure what it was called...anyway anyone...

OK I got both to work now...the hard drive one I just had on the wrong pins...but the wierd thing is that for the power led I couldnt figure it out so I just went back and tried all the different ways I could plug the led into the mobo and the one that I had first tried when I first booted (and...
