    DoA PSU, Mobo or both?

    1) Yea, made sure all the power connectors are in and in all the way. 2) Not sure what you mean? Yea I have a monitor hooked up through DVI. 3) No, not yet. I'm guessing that's to rule out a short? But how does that explain the old mobo and old psu working still :(

    gtx 670 or AMD 7950?

    Sapphire 7950 950 MHz edition and ran on 12.8 and currently 12.10. Battlefield 3 and Borderlands 2 run like a dream, Diablo III and Dota 2 not so much. Diablo III is playable after some tweaking but Dota 2 is downright unplayable. Considering Dota 2 is my main game, it's kind of a bummer and...

    AM3+ Motherboard

    Just won an FX-8150 and have no clue as to what mobo I should get. I'm upgrading from a i7-860 (LGA 1156) so it seems like this cpu is a sufficient upgrade. Considering that I have the processor cost taken care of I can afford to buy a full featured mobo. Suggestions?

    Computer components turn on but no display on monitor

    just checked em. 24-pin, and atx 12v, and 6-pin molex for the gpu are in tight. However, I was wondering how a broken plastic pin on my heatsink would affect my cpu. Only one of the four pins are broken. Maybe I did permanent damage to the CPU?

    Just bought new system for $2,731.85

    To nitpick, I'd change the OEM on that 8800 to eVGA and if that Samsung wasn't SATA, I would have changed it to an NEC 7173a.

    Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV (TH-42PX60U)

    My brother claims that since the px60u has a resolution of 1024 x 768(4:3) and that the incoming 720p(16:9) signal is not to scale, the image is degraded. Is that true? If it is, does it affect picture quality that much or even at all?
