    Question on possible nexus 4 quirk

    Mine does not do that. I even switched back to stock launcher and still doesn't happen. I would guess it's a hardware issue. unless.. Do you have any type of screen protector?

    Clean Shaven People - Recommend an Electric Shaver

    Get yourself a simple DE razor like this. Use barbasol shaving cream and get some good blades. I prefer these. I've never used an electric that did anything other than give me a poor shave while burning my face up, especially my neck.

    Stop posting things that are irrelevant to the topic at hand... forum etiquette 101 This the second time I've come across one of your posts wondering if you've forgotten what thread you're trolling. The gtx 560 link you quoted doesn't even cost 190! it's 150AR! Pay attention, post less BS.

    GPU hall of fame

    I got a nice long life out of my old 4850. That card played everything I needed it too and it only cost me like $150 at release.

    Help me with my PSU choice

    From a wattage standpoint all those will work... you'll probabaly never pull more than 200 watts from the wall in my estimation. Even the FSP hexa is 80+ efficient. I love Seasonic powers supplies but that FSP should be fine for you.. even if you get the 3770k and oc it.

    Best Video card for under $200-$250?

    Did you forget what thread you're posting in? The 7850 is undoubtedly the best card in the $200-250 range and the more you try and suggest otherwise, the more obvious your trolling is... Please, sling your BS in another forum, like maybe OT. To the OP - Best buys right now: ~$120-150...

    How is this overclock?

    very nice OC My 6870 only gets up to 960 core before It crashes in unigine. It's a solid bang for buck card in the sub $200 market.

    Asus GTX 670 Listed on Amazon

    It uses a non-reference design pcb reviews of this card are out there. I'd love to buy the TOP card but don't need to be dropping that much coin on a gpu.

    SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold Full Modular $99 @ egg

    For a different look.. individually sleeved wires. Until I get around to that, It'll be nice to get this octopus of wires out of my case and clean it up.

    SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold Full Modular $99 @ egg

    I hate all the cables in my case, but do i need this ... I have a tendency to start stock-piling psu's, I was up to 4 extra and sold them all locally. Time to start up again? *edit* I decided to buy it Time to start looking for a sleeving kit, or maybe adapters if I'm lazy :D

    Do I need an internal HDD to go with the SSD?

    Need new card for dying radeon 4850

    I was in a similar situation last month, looking to upgrade from a 4850. I picked up a 6870. The price on those has been great recently with all the rebates and it is a nice performance jump from the 4850. The alternative is to wait out nvidia's gtx6xx series for mid-range cards. I don't see...

    Will this PSU power this graphics card?

    "total combined 12v output not exceed 23a" - that's 276 watts on the all important 12v rail. Thats no 500w psu... I remember the 285 as a power hungry gpu. You need a psu with a bigger 12v and atleast 2x pcie cables. If you use a molex adapter, that psu will be at its absolute limits...

    7850 or 6850cf or 570 or ??

    Just to update, I couldn't play the waiting game... I picked up a 6870 for $160AR. It's a solid price for what it is, and it's a performance increase of about 100% over my old 4850. As a plus, the MSI twin frozr heatsinks are nice and quiet.

    7850 or 6850cf or 570 or ??

    -Nothing super intensive, but my 4850 struggles in shogun2. I haven't started playing skyrim yet - It seems AMD cards do better in skyrim. I have no intention of playing battlefield 3... maybe planetside2 later but I dont think that will be crazy gpu taxing. Diablo 3 shouldn't be too bad...

    7850 or 6850cf or 570 or ??

    There seems to be some knowledgeable people posting in here, what are you opinions on me scooping up a used 6950 ? in the 200-225 range, just make sure its a 2GB model? The more I think about paying $350, it's crazy... my cpu + mobo cost way less

    7850 or 6850cf or 570 or ??

    I feel pretty good now about waiting for a little bit and I think the choice is narrowed down to either a 7870 or gtx580. First one I find below $350 and I might just buy it.

    price down:antec 750w psu bronze now $60 ar/ac @ne

    Picked one up. I do believe a 650w would have been enough, but this deal was too good to pass up. I might spend more time in the 10% range and only be 75% efficient but that's OK with me in the sub 100 watt draw arena.

    price down:antec 750w psu bronze now $60 ar/ac @ne

    This seems like a really good deal. Why shouldn't I get this? I'm thinking of upgrading my computer from C2D to 2500k and getting at least one 6870, my current PSU is a corsair 400cx which is great but only has 1x pcie connectors.

    4850, biting the dust?

    The reference heatsink on those old single slot 4850s is terrible. I would try removing it, cleaning out all the dust and apply new tim. About a year ago I got sick of the poor temps and loud noise and replace the heatsink with an Accelero S1 and zip tied a 120mm fan - Its now silent and loads...

    Excellent case I've used an Antec 300 before and now have the PC-K62 (very similar to that linked case). That Lian Li case has far superior cable management.
