I built my last couple of systems, but with kids, work & other commitments I don't have the time for the setup & inevitable trouble shooting of doing it myself again. I'm looking for a computer to be exclusively used for gaming and I have a budget of $1200. Are there any good desktop builders...
I love the Baldur's Gate & Icewind Dale series and am looking for another party-based RPG to try out. I've played NWN 1&2 and they were OK (liked the setting but not the gameplay). I didn't really like KOTR. Dragon Age & Mass Effect are on my list but I'm hoping to find some other...

I'm getting ready to start a new gaming rig and would like to keep it as cheap as possible. Therefore, I'd like to reuse my current case & power supply (Antec 400 Watt ATX12V v2.0). I don't overclock so I think that should be enough power for my planned parts:
Core 2 8400
Radeon 4850
2GB...
I have a EPoX nforce4 ultra motherboard and have an "F1" prompt to continue every time I start up. It was great when I first built my computer becasue it gave me a chance to check all of the measured parameters to make sure everything was working properly, but now that everything is running...
I'm getting ready to start buying parts for my new gaming rig in May. I have about $180 a month in my budget I can put towards it, but the wife gets a little irrate when I spend more at one time (even if I didn't spend anything the month before - married guys you know how it goes!). I also get...

After reading this thread, I wanted to learna bit more about the differences between LCD & CRT viewable screen size.
My monitor at home is a 3 year old 19" CRT. I measured the actual screen diagonal length and it's 16". Would a new 17" LCD have the same viewable screen size then?
I'm in the process of buying parts for my new computer and I've been pretty pummped that it will be able to play games in 1600 X 1200 resolution. I was also thinking about replacing my 19" CRT with a 19" LCD to clear some space on my desk, but I was kind of shocked to find that the 19"LCD's I...
I'm in the process of building my new system and I was wondering wha the minimum stock processor I would need to work with a 7800GTX. For exaple, would this video card be overkill on a NON overclocked 3500+ Venice? What about a 3200+?
