    Gaming build help (times two!)

    Oh, wow. Thanks for that. That seems perfect for us. I didn't actually think I could go with a quality Intel build for ~$250. Always thought I would have to break the $300 mark, which is why I gave AMD such strong consideration. The performance increase and the future-proofing for only a $50...

    Gaming build help (times two!)

    I think . . . I'm getting more caught up in analysis-paralysis. I'm trying to do my research, staying open-minded to all sides. One of the things that I tried to look up was the comparison between the Core i5 4430 and the FX-6300. I know that seems like a weird thing to compare, but I'm trying...

    Gaming build help (times two!)

    Much appreciated. This seems like a good deal to me, but I'm proving myself to be uneducated in these matters: Asus R9 280 $229 - $20 MIR = $219 Also, I'm not sure how high I have to go for the CPU to not bottleneck the GPU. Would this deal, overclocked, be sufficient? - MSI Z97 U3 Plus and...

    Gaming build help (times two!)

    I updated my signature with my current build information to help out (can't believe it took me over 9 years to do that . . .). As for her, she has an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz and a Gigabyte P35-DS3L. To answer your questions: 1) To clarify, I have two 4GB sticks (F3-12800CL9-4GBSR2) and...

    Gaming build help (times two!)

    Preamble: I'm looking to upgrade both my computer and my wife's. I've been out of the hardware game for a while (5ish years), and it's a little overwhelming trying to reacquaint myself. I have no idea where AMD and Intel lie in their respective strengths anymore, or even if you should still try...

    6600gt vs x800xl?

    Very strange matchup, I know. However, whichever card I buy will essentially be a "hold me over" card until either the 7800GTX comes down in price, or the 7800GT (or whatever it will be called) is released. I would get the 6600gt, except I have a Dell 2005FPS, and I'm not positive if the card...
