    After further research, it sounds like there isn't a problem.

    PCI Express 3.0 Graphics in a PCI Express 2.0 Slot

    If my friend purchases a motherboard that has a PCI express 2.0 slot and use a graphics card that supports 3.0, is there a performance loss? Intended Build: GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130841 CORSAIR...

    Do I have the Power?

    A little more research shows that the connections on it are probably going to be problematic. Any suggestions on a new PSU? Do i need to be concerned about it fitting in my case? Not sure how standardized that is.

    Is there a particular reason you're suggesting the 6950? I don't really want to get into an in depth debate on who's better, but my understanding is that it's highly debatable. I have personally had better experiences with nVidia than ATI, but that was a long time ago.

    Do I have the Power?

    so far it sounds like you would both agree that if i'm not overclocking with that build i should be just fine. In the event i feel the need for more power, which is bound to happen, i could unleash full overclock potential with a little research/work and a new PSU to be safe. they aren't...

    Do I have the Power?

    I need to know if my current power supply is sufficient. I think it's close and I don't want to take any dumb risks. I'm no expert on this and I don't want to spend more money than necessary.

    PC repair/upgrade

    My motherboard has just crapped out on me recently leaving me with two options. I could just find a suitable replacement board or to take the opportunity to upgrade. Since my experience with the later games (specifically Skyrim) have been barely acceptable to play, I have set a budget of...

    Sound Help - Computer to Home Theater Surround Sound

    I found the 5100 for $379.12 including shipping to Juneau, AK... that's $297.11 savings over NewEgg... I actually had to check every detail to make sure it was the same thing. While i didn't intend on spending quite that much, it's quite the deal for something significantly better than what...

    Sound Help - Computer to Home Theater Surround Sound

    if I have a movie on my computer such as an .avi file, would that come through stereo even if we assume it's a dvd I rip to my computer? If so, is that because the actual file does not hold the "surround sound information" or a flaw in my setup? Main point of that question is to decide if a...

    Sound Help - Computer to Home Theater Surround Sound

    I am in the market for a home theater surround setup. I'm fairly set on a 5.1 setup because I don't need the extra speakers/quality from 7.1+. At this point I'm very interested in purchasing (I'm not going all-out with the setup) ONKYO HT-S3100 Black 5.1 Channel Home Theater System...

    I will be using this sound setup for movies, TV shows and to listen to music from my computer (also Xbox 360 and television). I would also like my games to utilize the new sound, but I know surround sound for computer games is dependent on the particular game. In case any of this extra info...
