    $2300 i7 Gaming Build

    Loose the fans and get a better case. 80mm fans are loud and youll hear them over everything else so its pointless buying fans. For 190 you can get a: Acer X233Hbid Black 23" 5ms HDMI Full 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor - Retail My mate has an LG 22" and they look exactly the same in image...

    should i keep the 4th core?

    3 Cores with a higher clock will give you better performance for gaming but 4 cores will definatly give you better performance for video encoding. depending on what you use though, eg divx takes advange of 4 cores xvid isnt very very multi core friendly

    Q6600 vs i7 920

    ofcourse it be better maybe even for all of them. however you are looking at a new cpu, motherboard and ram. all at premium prices. worth the money i think not. OC your Q6600 costs nothing and will give you a nice boost. on auto settings im running 3.4ghz although i cant go much higher lol...

    Dawn of War II Gameplay Performance and IQ @ [H]

    This game is unplayable on AM2 X2 cpus for some reason. my mate has a 4400+ at 2.4ghz i think and as soon as opening the game it hits 100% cpu usage and crashes it takes multiple attemps to get the game running. the same thing happens on my other computer which has a am2 5200+ at 3ghz...

    What would cause this? (Video Uploaded)

    try running some other games or 3d aplications and see if it works. it could simply be a driver issue or the card failing. i would use driver cleaner pro to completely remove the driver and reinstall it. check that your guildwars resolution is with the screens cababilities, u might have it...

    MP3 player recommendations

    my brother got an ipod touch, you have to convert every single video you wanna put on it, as it only supports mpg4. i have his old creative zen 30G which you can pretty much drag and drop. also you have to use itunes with the ipod and you can only have it synced to one computer and its really...

    In search of the perfect case

    silverstone tj07. Awsome design and airflow, Great looks. Heaps of space. and great for upgrading to water cooling. Can also hold plenty of hard drives without cramming and 2 psu's. wont need anouther case in a long time! best bang for buck i recon though is cooler master stacker 810

    I am completely clueless. which PSU to use

    lol a 1.2kw psu is totaly unnecessary for 99% of cases. if you get a good name brand 600W or even 500 depending on what parts you using youll be more then right. I recommend one of the corsair ones.

    Anyone went from nvida to ati or vise versa and did you like the change?

    need loud 120mm fans

    120 delta are VERY loud. if your computer currently sounds like a V8 3 deltas will we like taking exhaust of your V8. even with a fan speed control they make a very annoying clicking noise. you can get Sunon fans that do 100 cfm or some scythes that do 50. 120 deltas are not designed for pc use...

    q6600 at 70c-80c idle?

    haha 80 in the bios thats crazy. i load at 45 but thats overclocked and with aftermarket cooling. i think stock idle is like 20 to 30 with the stock cooler.
