    Help Building a New PC

    It's more of a want than a need for building a new system at this time. However, after doing some research, it seems that Skylake won't make too much of a difference for what I am planning to use the desktop for. After reviewing the thread I noticed that horrorshow may not be completely...

    Help Building a New PC

    Thank you for your inputs! Unfortunately, the pc is actually so slow, it's to the point where I haven't turned it on in a long time. However, I've been easily getting by with my laptop for my general browsing and my ps4 for gaming. I just think it's about time to invest in a new desktop. I...

    Help Building a New PC

    Thanks for changing the title. I'm ready to and want to start building now. I just wanted to note that I could wait if something big/important was coming out soon. For example, I remember doing research a couple years ago and I was recommended to wait for Haswell tech to come out. Does that make...

    Help Building a New PC

    Hello, First off, sorry for the lame thread title, I accidentally hit enter before finishing the post. Is there a way to change it? Either way, I need some help building a new PC. The last one I built was back in 2008 and suffice to say, it doesn't work much anymore. To give you an idea...

    Build Help for Cyber Monday

    Thanks! I was looking at an Intel Core i5 4570. Would that be much different from the 4430? Also, would it be a good idea to grab two sticks of the 8gb RAM? Finally, I think I will try to go with the HD 7950 as well. I had an idea on things from browsing the website, but I just don't know...

    Help Upgrading my PC I built back in 2008

    Actually, budget isn't really a concern for me. I felt if I made the budget too high that people would naturally focus on that (and optimize for it) as opposed to just getting the best value based on what I wanted to do with the PC. However, if it looks like I really should expand the budget...

    Help Upgrading my PC I built back in 2008

    I was thinking more in terms of spending money on a lower end graphics card and then a more graphically demanding game comes out, which means I would have to spend money on a new card. Of course, I realize this is a silly line of thinking as there will always be more graphically demanding games...

    Help Upgrading my PC I built back in 2008

    Thanks for the advice. As for the games I play, I've only really played MMOs and League of Legends on my PC for the last year or so. Interestingly enough, on the pc, I tend to only invest in multiplayer games that are exclusive to the PC. If/when I play a single player game like Skyrim or...

    Help Upgrading my PC I built back in 2008

    Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my PC I built back in 2008. Basically, I did a ton of research back then that I don't really want to have to repeat this go around. Unfortunately, I don't keep up with the new products and I don't remember much of anything from my research 5 years ago. Here are...

    Looking for 22" monitor, Acer AL2216Wbd 22" any good?

    Yea, I saw those but I really don't want to buy from newegg because of their terrible return policy. Amazon accepts returns for just one dead pixel, where as newegg needs 8 dead pixels for a return. Can anyone comment on the Acer monitor or recommend a monitor that is relatively close to...

    Looking for 22" monitor, Acer AL2216Wbd 22" any good?

    I am looking to upgrade to a 22" LCD monitor that is less than or around $250. I have been looking to buy mainly from Amazon.com because they have a great return policy. The monitor that caught my eye was the Acer AL2216Wbd. However, I don't really know anything about monitor brands or what...
