    Hi everyone, I'd really appreciate any recommendations you might have regarding a new laptop I intend to purchase. First question - is it possible to buy a laptop in the US without OS? I already have a legitimate windows 8.1 copy, so I'd like to save some money by excluding the OS from my...

    gaming build 600-700$

I a bit confused :) Should I go with a weaker GPU and and i5, or stronger GPU and an i3? if i5, then which model? how does the clock frequency (if that is the right term) affect the gaming performance? what do you think of tom's hardware q1 2014 budget build. they used i3 alongside GTX...

    gaming build 600-700$

    isn't the stock cooler a bit loud? I can buy the CPU from microcenter, the rest I'd probably buy from Amazon. I didn't compare the prices just yet, just trying to decide which parts to get.

    Please recommend 1200-1300$ Gaming build

    Thanks! the build looks perfect. I think I'll order the parts in the next 2-3 days, so I could use a GPU recommendation. I plan on OC the GPU as well, but maybe not right away. a few questions though: Is there any reason for getting a more expensive case than the 200R\NZXT Source 220? I mean...

    yeah I can get to that store, no problem. no. I have 250$ more to spend on a monitor. I thought it was a good way to divide the budget.

    Thanks for the reply! The problem is that she asked for the case to be as narrow as possible, and these cases are slightly wider. She's using a very small table... on the other hand they seem like better cases. I'll try to measure the table and see if there are any inches to spare. I was...

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to help a friend of mine purchase a new desktop. Since she's using a wheelchair and has a very small table in her apartment, the case has to be as "thin" as possible. Searching through the cases in pcpartpicker, I found the Silverstone Precision ps08 case that might be...

    Mini-ITX build for fashion design student 800$

    Thanks for the advice! You have a point there. I'll switch the Cooler Master with the Fractal Node 304 as PcZac suggested, for a clean look... or maybe spend the extra buck and go with color BitFenix Prodigy. It's important to note that she will probably never upgrade this computer... Doing...
