    ~$200 Web browser?

    Looking to build a light gaming rig for around $750

    You will never notice the difference between those 2 CPUs but it looks fine. Worth noting newegg has the 270x for $12 more than that 270. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...m-_-14-127-761 It is something like 10% faster than the 270 but uses a bit more power to do it.

    Looking to build a light gaming rig for around $750

    The 270 won't feel dated for a while. It is a good spot on the value ladder imo. The 265 is, at the moment, a slower product for similar money. The sapphire card he picked has a lot of good reviews on the egg. It also looks like the cooler would be pretty quiet. Seems like a good choice. I...

    Looking to build a light gaming rig for around $750

    If you have a microcenter nearby I would look at the 7850k for CPU/GPU. At full newegg/amazon prices I would probably go for an i3 or i5 processor + discrete graphics. Do you do any video encoding? That would be the only way I can see that 8 core processor being worthwhile. Older MMOs aren't...

    Media Server Build, looking for feedback

    Microcenter has the Gigabyte board (http://www.microcenter.com/product/432995/Z97_LGA_1150_mITX_Intel__Motherboard) but it is labeled wrong as mATX in the title. I think I am leaning towards the Asrock (http://www.microcenter.com/product/433091/Z97E-ITX_LGA1150_Intel_mITX_Motherboard) anyway...

    Media Server Build, looking for feedback

    I don't really have a firm budget but it isn't something I want to be upgrading in a couple years unless I am just adding drives. The CPU and MB are a combo from Microcenter @ $240 AR for both. Really not sure how much CPU I need but I figured the i3 was cheap enough. If the i3 4350T was...

    Media Server Build, looking for feedback

    I am looking to put together a media server. The plan is to use it as a NAS with enough power to actually transcode HD content. It won't be used for anything else really. Just storing a ton of crap, accessing files through my desktop, and streaming through my ps3, roku, & laptop. I thought about...

    Cryptocoin Mining?

    I notice a lot of them on ebay but none @ $300. I would buy a 290x @ $300 in a heartbeat. Abused in a mining rig shouldn't really matter.

    [Updated] Crucial M4 256GB SSD - $325FS @Superbiiz

    M4 back down to $345 AC. I was actually all set to order it till I read those reviews on the corsair drive. While I think it would be hard to go wrong with the M4 that corsair looks like it may be THE drive to get.

    Patriot Sector 5 8GB, DDR3 pc3-10666 - $86.50 after 25$ rebate. Amazon

    SS the page that has the AR price. Amazon customer service is really good. I would bet they will credit for the rebate that is obviously not for the ram after purchase.

    Direct 2 Drive 5th anniversary sale. $5 games for 5 weeks!

    Picked up Civ 4. Was going to pick up Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena as well but the review about the terrible DRM associated with it made me change my mind.

    Free Watchmen tickets with Xbox-related purchase

    I notice it says "participating theatres" yet I can find no list indicating theatres which are participating. In particular I am wondering about Memphis area malco theatres. Also, do these count as passes or work exactly like tickets?

    HD 4870 severe FPS problems - Please help

    Just reiterating what has already been said but your CPU is running way way way to hot. To give you an example I run a e6300 in my htpc and, under 2x prime95, it hits 56c @ 2.8ghz. If I had to guess, I would say you have a pushpin not all the way in.

    Firefly - The Complete Series Blu-ray $52 Free Shipping

    Truely disappointing they didn't continue this series or at least give it an ending. Great show. That being said this needs to be about half its current price for me bite.

    Logitech® MX? 610 Cordless Laser Mouse27.99 AR

    Looks somewhat hot price wise. It was a bit cheaper a couple weeks ago but thats no longer available and this is. As for whether its a good gaming mouse. I would say no. I would go with something corded for gaming. MX510, MX518, G5, Diamondback, Copperhead
