    Perfect PC?

    Would you buy a terrible MS Paint comic of it?

    Perfect PC?

    I'm now two years in. The build has treated me exceedingly well. I've named it Maximus and we have fought many battles together. All on a Dell U3011, at ultrasettings of course. Then, drunk me, in a moment of particular brilliance, decided to clumsily pour a significant quantity of beer into...

    Perfect PC?

    Hey people. I went ahead and finished this build last weekend. I set it up with just the SSD though as I was short a cable for the 1TB Samsung hard drive. I have that cable now and want to keep the SSD as fast as possible. I figure all media and most programs will be on the spinner, but...

    Wait for Crucial C400 or buy a C300?

    Sick beat: We are hoping to have the M4 available within the next month or so. We do not have an exact date at this time.

    I was planning on the GD65 mobo originally, but it's out of stock and I didn't see anything that I'd miss by going with the GD55. The GD55 has PCI Express 2.0 x16. Isn't that all I need for 16x16 crossfire? Good call on the sales tax. I will shop around tomorrow before ordering.

    I did consider the 2600k, but read that it really isn't much of an upgrade for gaming systems. True?

    Perfect PC?

    Right, but it does look like there is a pretty clear performance bump with the 580, so it makes sense to me given the room in my budget. The build is only at $1,600 shipped without it. I did go with the 1333 due to the SB. Also, I have 8BG memory here - just buying two sticks rather than a...

    Good call on the 580. Will probably go that route as I have a bit of room left in the budget.

    Perfect PC?

    Never built my own rig before, but I've been reading up obsessively for the past few months and think I'm ready to pull the trigger. Would appreciate any feedback. Background: 1) PC will be used for gaming, web browsing and movies. 2) Budget is $2k. Monitor not included. 3) I am in Los...
