I decided to build up a new system to go with a new 7970 come Monday. I'm going to use the 0% financing option from Tiger Direct so I'm limited to the options they have available.
Here are the options I was considering:
ASUS P8Z68-V LX : 129.99 (119.99AR)
Gigabyte Z68A-D3H-B3 : 134.99...
The GTX 460 on my HTPC is starting to exhibit artifacts and I've done all I could to fix it (various driver versions and underclocking), I decided now to replace the card and upgrade.
The AMD 7970 results look really promising, but I'm not concerned with my CPU bottlenecking it.

My old PSU just failed and I'm looking to replace it.
I am running an Athlon X2 4200+ with a PNY 8800GTS 320MB, 2GB RAM, and two SATA HDDs. The video card recommends a PSU with >27A available at 12V, I haven't seen too many PSUs that have a 12V rating of >27A. Is this requirement referring...
I just ordered an OEM Athlon 64 X2 4200+ socket 939 from newegg as a drop in upgrade to my Athlon 64 2400+. I was originally thinking that I would use the heatsink that originally came with the retail version of my 2400+. Is this still a viable option or is a significantly better solution in the...
I picked up an Antec Smartpower 500 watt PSU to replace the crappy no-name 480 watt one that came with my case. However when I install it and hit the power nothing really happens. The only thing that happens is that the optical sensor on the mouse turns on.
Before I RMA it I wanted to see if...
I just ordered an EPOX EP-9NPA+ with 2 1 GB sticks of OCZ Performance DDR 400. The board has 4 slots for memory and it is described as being able to support 4GB of memory so I am assuming it allows for 4 1GB sticks. I have however heard of people having problems running the their systems with 2...
I just bought a P4 2.4a that came with a free ECS 848P-A motherboard, it has 768 megs of PC 2100 DDR. With this ghetto setup how much is the most I could overclock to with out damaging the system?
I thought that all P4s with a C in the name were 800Mhz FSB, I just bought a chip advertised as 533Mhz but the label says 2.4C. Is it infact a 800Mhz FSB processor?
