    Geforce 1060

    Hello guys i don't post much here. But i do have a question. Is it worth the money to upgrade to a 1060(3gb) from an R9 270? Since the prices on the 580 are completely out of control, is the 1060 my best path for a budget upgrade? I'm mostly looking to stay around the $250 range. I'm mostly into...

    2700k or 3770k :)

    This guy is very persistant and wants to throw his money away for nearly no increase over a 2500k.

    Vishera spotted running at 5GHz

    I don't have an educated opinion on the actually cpu. But what is going on with the names here? Piledriver/Steam roller/Bull dozer? Really? when i think of a cpu i'm not thinking of heavy machinery.

It has videos and pics and music that anybody can access if they have a connection to my wifi netwk. This pc has several Tbs of information...

    SSD Question

    Just a quick question. I'm thinking of purchasing 2 M4s to run in Raid 0. But besides a short boot time what is the benefit of an SSD? My PC is rarely ever turned off almost never (unless some kind of update requires a restart) Since it is never turned off i never have to reopen programs. Since...

    Quick cooling question...

    So that's normal? Any articles that explain why? Is it just something with IB that does that? I used to have Q6600 years ago and don't remember it havin such a temp range. Thanks.

    Quick cooling question...

    I got a 3570k OCed to 4ghz under a Thermaltake CLS The temps are good. My room always a freezer with the AC on (around 70). But i'm running both Core Temp and HW monitor and my cores have drastically different temps. Core 3 runs at 30c while core 2 runs at 42c and Core 0 runs at 39c and Core 1...

    Under $200

    I have no true concern for the issues with the 480. But you didnt leave any recommendations for a card under 200$ comparable to a 480 or 460 SLI.

    Under $200

    Okay guys making the purchase on friday. I'm interested in the EVGA B-Stock stuff. A few great deals to be had. I'm mainly looking @ the GTX 480 and the GTX 460 SE SLI 1gb. I did a little research that seemed to say the 460s in sli is faster then a single 480. But the cards that were tested had...

    Got my HD 7950 installed, is this a problem?

    Who knows? Maybe you should try to play some games and see if it locks up again.

    First Gaming Build for about $1,000 NZD

    I hope New Zealand is beautiful because those prices are horrible. That GPU may not be good enough if you want high settings even @ 1080. Maybe something like a 6970 or a 6950 but i'm afraid of what they may charge you.

    Rosewill Thor

    I picked up the 3570K UD3H combo from MC. Also got a 128 GB SSD and a couple HDDs, Bluray and a CD-R. Gonna pick up a GPU later after i see what launches next. The actually NE combo seems like a very good price for the hardware you get. The PSU is far then what i need.

    Rosewill Thor

    Any particular reason you don't like Rosewill? I was looking at the Source as well but i want a full tower case to play with. THanks

    Will new gen consoles be able to keep up with PC graphics when released?

    I think on consoles the goal isnt about graphics i think its more about experiencing a different way to game.

    Cutting the fat on mid-range build

    OEM sounds like a much better investment. Just add a GPU

    CPU hall of fame (sister-thread to the GPU one of same name in VC&G)

    The Q6600 has to be somewhere on the list. I still love my E6300 as well.

    3570k or 3770k for lightroom, photoshop, premiere and after effects?

    Rosewill Thor

    Anyone have any experience with the Thor V2? NE has a decent deal for the Case and a 750 Rosewill PSU for a very good price. Honestly i was trying to move away from the mesh grills and stuff. I really want the NZXT 810 but it is crazy expensive. and plus i would have to downgrade my PSU...

    How are Intel MB?

    Even back when i started building PC in the socket 478 days the intel boards were known to be rock solid but just boring. Very standard stuff but high quality and reliable.

    Best Video card for under $200-$250?

    I'm not considering either card, but what if you simply do not over clock and do not care to overclock and will never over clock? Every time someone mentions the 7850 the first answer is always overclock. I just find it amusing to be honest. I think i'll wait for Nvidia to answer the price point...

    Finishing my build!

    Alright going to be finishing my new build. Placing the order tomorrow and i'm still uncertain about a few things. The only thing i'm reusing is my 500GB storage drive and maybe a dvdr drive but i have so many of those lying around it doesn't matter. So far for my new build i cashed in on the MC...

    Mid range

    And i do happen to be a fan of XFX stuff. Most of the time i switch back and forth every Gen and as i have departed from my dear 6770 i was looking to switch to NV for this Current gen, but some rules are meant to be broken. Still no information at all about the 600 series mid range stuff for...

    Mid range

    I'm passing on my current setup and making orders to build my next PC, but i'm stuck on a decision for a card. I'm mostly a mid range kinda of guy and i'm looking for something between 150-250. It seems the current mid range Nvidia card seems to be the 560Ti. But is there any news on a 600...

    ATi Switch

    Thanks everybody. I'm looking looking for reviews now comparing the different versions. I think i prefer the look of the ref design. I have a Cm 590 with Yate Loons D12SH for exhaust and intake so heat isn't really a big deal but the noise might be. I'm not into oc'ing. I'm just looking for a...

    ATi Switch

    I'm finally switching back to ATI since the days of the 9800pro. I'm going to replace my 8600GTS with a 5770.
