    Need reccomendation for a 5.1 soundcard

    OK, yeah, and since I only have the three output plugs from the speakers I need a sound card to fully utilize them? Also thanks for the link to the review.

    Need reccomendation for a 5.1 soundcard

    Yeah I understand what you guys are saying and please excuse my ignorance but the cables I have with the speakers are green, yellow, and black. I tried green to green, black to black, and yellow to both grey and orange, and a few others. Also the ports are labeled for certain sets of the...

    Need reccomendation for a 5.1 soundcard

    My on board doesn't have the correct ports for the speakers to connect to, I only have the green jack. Can I still do the surround with only the one? Thanks for all the responses.

    Need advice on tablets etc.

    Thanks for all of the input, was mostly leaning towards just waiting until I need a new laptop and the technology advances. That is what I am going to do, it was just such a good deal I wanted to at least consider it.

    Need advice on tablets etc.

    Well my friend said putting full windows on it could be done. But that may not have been a fully thought out comment, as he did originally just say Linux. I am not really looking to upgrade right now, was just considering it because I would also be able to get another 20%ish off that price with...

    Need advice on tablets etc.

    I work at staples while I finish school and they have a Surface RT 64gb on clearance for 195.55 and it comes with a keyboard. Its a good deal but is it what I need/do I need it? I have a tech savvy friend who could install full windows instead of the RT version. I would like to get something...

    So I had tried to purchase right before the price spike be was unsuccessful. I then found this card on Amazon for around $350 and despite being out of stock they let me put card info etc in so that when it came in I would receive it.

    Any known problems with this card? I read the reviews just wondering if there were any big known problems. http://www.amazon.com/Asus-Radeon-4DisplayPort-PCI-Express-R9280X-DC2T-3GD5-V2/dp/B00FT2KSVK/ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

    Upgrading an existing build

    I am going to go with the i5 setup you suggested. Any tips to better understand the specifics of processors/gpu's? or do you just read a lot about them and do a bit of research? Thanks in advance and thanks for all of your help on this build.

    Looking at this processor instead since it is only $15 more than the suggested one, thoughts?

    Upgrading an existing build

    I am now running into the problem that all supplies of 3 gb gpu's seem to be out on newegg, which seemed to have the best prices. Not sure why seeing as there wasn't yet any special prices on the ones that I was viewing.

    Upgrading an existing build

    OK, One thing I have heard many times is that if I am going to be using Intel or AMD, I should stick with NVidia or AMD respectively. Also I am just worried about heat when switching to Intel/NVidia, I have heard a lot of stories about heat problems with them(of course I guess the same can be...

    Upgrading an existing build

    Ok thanks for the help so far. So with the i5 setup above, mobo, and one of those gpu's my power supply should be ok for all of that?
