    Best cooling solution for my old socket 775. Air or liquid?

    Hello, I recently purchased a Gibayte Radeon 7870 due to the great advice from this forum from Newegg and I am expecting it any day now (the anticipation is killing me!) I was told that I would need to overclock to atleast 3.0 GHZ if i really wanted to see my new video card shine for my current...

    upgrade video card, entire system, or both?

    I will be overclocking as needed, depending on how the rig performs on up and coming games. I am running windows 8 64 (i know, its buggy, but its a step up from vista 32) ill probably be doing the upgrade as soon as i know how much my tax return will be. Ill look into the 3570 k and forego the...

    upgrade video card, entire system, or both?

    Thanks all for the great advice! I am now looking at 7850s from newegg, but there are so many options!

    upgrade video card, entire system, or both?

    I looked at the 7850, but I've always tried to stay away from ati where video cards are concerned because of bad software designs/stability issues. I am leaning heavily towards the gtx 480 because of how much bang it seems to be able to give me for my buck. As I mentioned earlier, I know...

    upgrade video card, entire system, or both?

    Running a 650W generic power supply. I try to stay current with games. I am currently playing Far Cry 3, Battlefield 3 (on low settings), and hitman absolution. I'd like to be able to play Planetside 2, but I'm probably dreaming with this system :P. Running at 1920 x 1080 resolution
