    Build help

    So keep the mobo I have, switch out the cpu, gpu and go from 2X2gb to 2X4gb ram? Sounds good to me. Will I get a big performance boost, something like 30% or so?

    Can I get a monitor recommendation?

    Actually my monitor has no speakers, newegg must redirect to more current models (I used a link that was in my old forum post here). Anyway thanks for the suggestion, would my system have enough horsepower to game on a 27 inch?

    [DEAD] Asus 23" 1080p LCD monitor - $125AR/FS @ Newegg

    What should I be looking for in a tv

    I'll try to keep this short but it'll be tough. The thing is I don't really know what questions to ask if that makes sense. I have a Linksys E3000 router... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833124388 and a computer with a sapphire HD 6850...

    cheap upgrade for an AGP gaming system

    Came back to confirm that the case is awesome for the money and a couple questions... Getting a flashing yellow light where the ethernet plugs into the mobo although the internet works fine. Any ideas? No router, just modem. The mobo manual has nothing on this. I added an 80g ssd (at $78 for...

    cheap upgrade for an AGP gaming system

    Build went well and everything's working great. Since I ended up with a micro atx board and my old case could probably be retired I've been looking at matx cases. This Fractal Design caught my eye. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352009 Any thoughts?
