    Audio Crackling/Static noise.

    Hi everyone. I've been having a problem with the audio on my computer for a while now. I will often hear audio crackling/static when using youtube. It worsens when I switch to a different tab. The problem still exists slightly though when I am on the youtube tab. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Problem with audio. Please help.

    Specs. Asrock p55 extreme. Windows 7 64 bit. So right now I'm having huge problems with my audio. Crackling and sometimes slight stutter. This is driving me insane. I'm pretty sure that the audio drivers that I have right now for windows 7 totally suck and that the audio drivers that...

    Looking for cheap/good (oxymoron?) 24 inch screens.

    Just for an update. I decided to get two dell U2311's on sale right now for 240 each. I decided that much better monitor quality will eventually beat out slight ghosting and I read many reviews stating that the monitor is still fine for gaming.

    Looking for cheap/good (oxymoron?) 24 inch screens.

    Uh, another question. How does the Dell UltraSharp U2311H look? I know its an IPS panel, but the reviews on it were very high and currently theres a deal going on where you can get it on dell with a 25 percent off coupon for $239.25. The IPS panel seems to be much better overall for viewing, and...

    Looking for cheap/good (oxymoron?) 24 inch screens.

    The only thing I'm worried about with the P2450H is that it didn't receive a very good review on cnet with huge problems with its color accuracy. I'm no monitor enthusiast by any means, but I'd rather not suffer buyer's remorse afterwards. Could anyone comment on this or give any other...

    Looking for cheap/good (oxymoron?) 24 inch screens.

    Hi, I'm looking for two 24 inch screens or somewhere around that size to use for a dual monitor setup. My budget is about 500 dollars give or take. I do a lot of gaming and I do not do any work that requires color accuracy. Also, I have some questions about a dual monitor setup and sli. I have...

    Thanks for the reply. I decided to search up some of the reviews on the Shin-Etsu X23 and I decided that I'll just go to Frys and buy some of that.

    $1200 dollar gaming computer.

    Just finished up my build. Here it is Intel i5 760. 170+tax= 184.88 ASrock Extreme P55 + G.Skill Ram 2x2gb + XFX 650W Power Supply= 294.97+tax= 321.24. The G. Skill and XFX power supply had a combo together so that was 25 dollars off and XFX had a 15 percent off coupon on their power supply so...

    $1200 dollar gaming computer.

    I've decided to look at a bunch of reviews and that motherboard was highly praised for its bang for buck factor so I think I will get the motherboard that you suggested. The mail in rebate which will knock down the price to 100 will only sweeten the deal. I'll also get the XFX 650W + the Ram...

    Hey Danny, thanks for the recommendations. Can I get some more clarity on why you chose that specific motherboard? It appears that on newegg there are other motherboards with the 1136 chipset but with a cheaper price. Also, for the RAM/PSU combo, will a 650Watt PSU be able to power the i5...

    $1200 dollar gaming computer.

    Yeah, it's actually quite a lot of money saved. Cheaper motherboard/cheaper ram. I'm going to pick up my i5 760 soon. The i5 750s were out of stock at microcenter but i placed a reservation for the i5 760 and they had one so I'll go pick it up soon. Are there any other nice deals at microcenter...

    $1200 dollar gaming computer.

    Alright, I'll go either 1920x1200 or 1920x1080. Can anyone give me any suggestions on what to get for CPU and Mobo? I'm thinking the i5 750 at microcenter for $150 if its on stock on my drive back from college. If its not a stock, should I get the i5 760 for $170 or the i7 930 for $200? I'm also...

    I don't have a monitor yet. I'm undecided on the resolution. 1680x1050 would allow me to max games for longer but 1920x1200 would allow me a better gaming experience. the monitor is not part of the budget.

    1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming Top Priority. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? My budget is about 1200 before tax/shipping. 3) Where do you live? San Diego, California. 4) What exact parts do you need for that budget...
