finally got Windows 7 installed, activated, updated, and so now: a few questions
-if I'm getting a GTX 560 Ti in the mail tomorrow, should I bother installing Intel...
Hi guys
Just built a new rig.
I'm having a hell of a time trying to install Windows 7 right now on my fresh HDD.
I purchased a student-priced Upgrade, downloaded the .iso on my old home computer (Windows XP 32-bit). Planning on doing the Microsoft-supported double install.
Tried burning it...
Options are limited due to purchasing in-store, so need some help deciding between these 3.
P67:
Asus P8P67-M-Pro-R3 1155 MATX @ $150
Z68:
Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 1155 MATX @ $100
Gigabyte GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3 1155 MATX @ $135
mATX P67/Z68 board options seem to be pretty limited and the...
This limits me to mATX or mITX cases. At the moment I would prefer NOT to go mITX (cooling, SFX PSUs, etc) but if somebody has a really great solution then II'm open to it.
Heres some that I've found:
HTPC-style:
Silverstone Grandia GD05B - $70...
Hi all
After some deliberation I've decided it would be best for me to build a mATX build as my computer of choice, one that I've been anticipating for a really long time. Still using this old P4 desktop to write this...heh
Anyways I'm heading off to college next year, only problem is: I"m...
Hey all
Planning on building this relatively soon. I have a few things in mind but am open to all and any suggestions. I'm okay with going either AMD or Intel for the CPU, I know that bang for the buck at my budget might lean towards AMD but I do have Microcenters near me so I'd be able to get...
Hi all
I'm building a rig for college use and I"m going to be in a dorm. The last thing I want is a screamer that could potentially annoy other people/myself, especially when I"m wanting to take a quick nap or other stuff. To me, bringing a desktop to college is already a bit of a burden -...
Is this okay?
Any type of performance hit/anything out of the ordinary?
To be more specific, I went to BestBuy earlier today to try out some mouses. As far as ergonomics go, the Razer Deathadder felt perfect for me. My hands aren't very big, probably below average. I can palm a basketball...
Intel is said to be refreshing their whole SSD line in Q4 on the 24? or 28nm process.
Anybody have any details on possible price/performance?
Worth holding out for a G3 or would you guys just buy a G2 now if you were building a rig? The only thing I could think of is that I might need 160gb...
Hi
Looking for a good 1156 mobo for my upcoming i7860 build.
USB3.0 and SATA6gb/s doesn't matter to me because theres no hardware out there that really takes advantage of it thats within my price range atm. It would only matter to be if I waited for the Intel G3 SSD refresh but thats probably...
Hey all
Looking for a suggestion for my PSU for my future build.
i7 860
ASUS 5850 (might be replaced by ATI 6xxx SI series due in Q3/Q4 right away)
4gb DDR3
Intel G2 SSD
I don't think much else is important? Anyways
I know that all 3 of these units are considered pretty decent.
Having 750w...
Hi all
I know this has probably been discussed to death, but let me explain myself a little here.
I know that the i5 is a better performer overall. It's not significantly more expensive either than the PII, so yeah. At the same time it seems like all of the <$1200 builds are utilizing PII 955...
