When I first looked at that PSU I thought, no way. Then I tried to see who made the PSU, which is a company called Super Flower. Might not sound impressive, but recently they have proven to be a company that challenges the top tier producers while keeping cost low. I normally get my PSU...

If you want to keep your case there might be a solution. One reviewer noticed, dispite Gigabyte's information, that the case has holes for E-ATX. See here for more information. A GTX 580 is a bit long a maybe a bit too long, one person here removed the button cage to fit a GTX 580 into the case

Depending on the person a case can be a long term or short term solution. For me I use my cases for quite a long time, actually I have only bought 3 cases the last 8 years. Two CoolerMaster Stacker and one Antec cabinet (can't remember the name and sold after a years use). So now I have only two...

IF we are into the money-no-issue league, then this would be a very cool and good case for your built: Coolermaster COSMOS II Received many praises for its quality and innovations.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Multithreaded programming using C++ and Qt4, LaTex, Pointcloud processing (Microsoft Kinect). 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Around 1000-1300. 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S...

In my search for confirmation that 3930K was supposed to support VT-d, then I stumpled across this topic about 3930K replace Edit: Seems there is a bit confusion whether it is indeed possible or not

Seems Intel does provides some fairness given the price of Sandy Bridge E :) To bad they do not write it on the spec page.

A point to remember is that the -K processors lacks VT-d, which Q9450 have. So you will move to a processor with less virtualisations capabilities and performance.

I have taken the choice of motherboard up for revision. I had an earlier look at AsRock P67 Fatal1ty I am not sure if P67 is a step down from Z68, the biggest difference I see is the ability to use the internal graphics, not a deal-breaker for me. I am just wondering if companies have used the...

I made some additional research and it turns out that Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z/GEN3 is actually equipped with a realtech sound chip, what a let down. I was a bit unsure about bringing it up, but one more reason for choosing the maximus was that it gave an impression of being more stable. I do...

My choice of the motherboard comes from several reasons, although mediocre. First of all there is the onboard sound card, since I will be working in an environment with plenty of people and machines I will properly listen to a great deal of music. Second is design, I find many of Asus's...

The only reason to why VT-d has something to do with overclocking is due to the sale strategy Intel has. With Sandy Bridge Intel introduced very strict limitations on overclocking, but a very few models, the xxxx-K models, had unlocked multipliers. For reasons unknown these models had special...

Might a bit late posting this to the thread, but I give a shot anyway: I do not understand the talk about the 2500K and 2600K here, all xxxx-K CPU's from Intel are crippled regarding virtualization due to the lack of direct contact to the hardware (VT-d). Maybe it is to avoid companies to...

A bit off-topic: What the hell are you going to use the computer for with that insane spec. :D I am myself a master student at the University of Southern Denmark and our Vision department, which works with the newest cutting edge algorithms and have several EU founded projects do not have...
