    Build for Photo Editing (Lightroom & Photoshop)

I am just trying to figure out if it is worth it to build a computer from scratch or just buy a new...

    Upgrading to GTX 770. PSU Suffice?

    Hello everyone, I just had a quick question regarding whether my current Corsair TX650 PSU will suffice when i upgrade from my current MSI Twin Fozr Gtx 570 to the new MSI GTX 770 OC Tiwn Fozr IV. I am fairly certain it will but i just need some reassurance. My build: CPU: i5 - 2500k...

    Can someone review my mid range build before I buy?

    Also just a quick question. Wanted someone to just verify that the 750W would be suitable if he did decide to SLI? He doesn't plan to overclock the GPU's and knowing him it will be a slight overclock on the CPU.

    Can someone review my mid range build before I buy?

    As for the 670 being overkill ... I agree but he has his heart/wallet set on it, and it was the one thing he told me to build around. He may in fact get more screens in the future before he SLI's, but atleast he won't have any problem playing any games with the single 670. Thanks again

    Can someone review my mid range build before I buy?

    I bought the vertex 3 when it first came out last year for my computer and it had a lot of problems with it back then. I managed to get a good one i guess as it hasn't failed me yet. ( Knock on wood). But i assumed they had fixed all those firmware issue's by now. But i think you guys are right...

    New gaming build. See any problems?

    I don't think the SSD caching and the faster video converting with the intergrated GPU is really worth it for me. I did think about it long and hard but in the end i just didn't think it would have given me much more of a benefit.

    New gaming build. See any problems?

    1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Gaming. FPS and RTS games mostly. Also the usual stuff and maybe a little video editing on the side. 2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread $1900 after...

    First build: i5-2500k gaming PC

    I was considering getting the 6950, but i have a couple questions about the OC to achieve 6970. Is it hard to do? Is there a significant risk in doing this that i should be aware of? How do i make sure i get a reference model (no idea what that is). How much does the windows & OS take up on a...
