    Summer PC Project - Updates/Upgrades

    So I took the advice from the board last time I was here with my current rig and haven't had too many complaints. I was encouraged to do some light OC'ing and upgrade my GPU and have enjoyed the results. Unfortunately my case or mobo now thinks there is always a set of headphones plugged in...

    Upgrade Advice - Please HELP!

    So here is my situation. I built a fairly capable machine a few years back and thus far it has performed like a beast. Since the release of the latest WoW xpac, I've notice system performance is down. I replaced the video card, increased the RAM, but still it seems it is coming down to my 2500k...

    Tear down question concerning a dell box

    So years back I bought a dell box system for my son. it's an e4500 and I happen to have an extra board for that processor. Is it possible to part out the dell? The board is an ECS board and I have a spare 8800gt laying around, so I figured a case and a new psu and I'd be moving in the right...

    Evga GTS 450 $89.99 - 7/30 - 7/31 - Incorrect Listing by EVGA - DoA

    Great deal, just got it in my email. It isn't live yet, but says check back on 7/30. http://www.evga.com/deals/ So with that, do I upgrade my 5770 to two 460's? At that price, it's hard to think that SLI would not be a good idea

    New GPU and Monitor

    Well I'm looking to replace my BFG 8800GT finally, as I'm getting some bad artifacting. The Gcard has been very loyal and lasted me almost 4 years(I think). So now what to replace it with. I've heard great things about the cooling of the MSI cards, but am open to any suggestions. I plan on...

    Time for an updated rig!

    So it's been years since I built a new pc, I built the FOTM e4400 with an abit i-35e I think is what it was. The system still serves me as a great day to day pc, but I want to pass it down to my son and build me a new fun toy. I'm very willing to wait for Sandy Bridge, but will and can buy...
