    Bottleneck Question.

    I'm currently looking to upgrade my machine a bit and trying to figure out where I'll get the most performance upgrade for my money. Be it RAM, Video Card, processor (which might require a new MOBO so not sure I want to go that route.) I game mostly and while most things run fine, there are...

    Thanks for all the advice. While there is very little price difference between the Q6600 I listed and the q9400 that PC user listed. I was wandering what the performance difference between the two are.

    Thanks for the PS advice. Sorry for not answering those questions! 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? Gaming for the most part. Sometimes I have to work from home and I'll need to run AutoCAD 2009. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included...

    Thoughts on a build

    My current PC is currently giving me problems and putting any money into it at this point would be a total waste. I've had it for a very long time and it's been a good PC but it's rather out dated. So rather then putting a band aid on something that's going to die soon enough anyway, I've...

    Which Motheboard

    Even though this is posted in the motherboards section I didn't think my knowledge of motherboards is very high. (hints the reason for asking advice from you fellows) Trying to pick a motherboard to run with a Q6600 processor and 2 EVGA GeForce 8800GTS. The motherboards I am looking at...

    Sounds like all the reason I need not to get it. Very good information, I'd rather have the speed then the bit of extra space I may never use.

    Will try. I've not done all the searching for cheapest place to find all the items, but I will list everything and a link so they can be viewed. Case: LIAN LI PC-A10B http://www.xpcgear.com/pca10b.html I really like this case, very minimalist and sleek IMO. Motherboard: I went with the MSI...

    Gamer looking to build a new PC. Need help.

    I would want to go SLI. From my understanding you start seeing performance increases on 24" + monitors. Thanks for the list of stuff Enginurd it has helped give me a place to start looking. I've always been a fan of buying my motherboard and video cards from the same company. (It most likely...
