I've seen some stellar units powered by potatoes

Umm I had this same debate not more than a couple weeks ago, I ended up buying the Cougar sx-700 for 100$ shipped with a 20 dollar rebate, but yeah it blew up the 2nd day in my computer. I am currently waiting for the rma..... idk looks pretty though, and solidly built idk

sounds about right for those chips, my friends 965 is stable at 4.0

I love AMD because I built my very first computer with an x2 3600 and the little beast performed like a champ.The consumer market needs AMD to keep the competition honest, or at least we can hope that.

What's your budget? Honestly it wouldn't be worth it to upgrade your computer at the moment, because you would be throwing money into a dead platform....therefore making it harder for you in the future. All you could really do is add more ram and get a better graphics card. What resolution are...

What games do you play right now? I have a 24" screen and have a 6870 most benchmarks say I can run games at medium to high settings with my monitor. I would go ahead and pick it up and get a crossfire with another 6870 down the road which should keep your performance up to stretch it out till...

Well that's why I put AR....anyways idk why anybody would want the 2GB version of the card anyways

I 2nd this guy, I just bought a 6870 for my 24 inch and I game at 1920x1200/1080 and for a budget card under 200$ it's really your best bet....the only other budget card that would be better is the 560ti and that is overpriced. I would get the 6870 over the 560 because you can look at the...

Point well taken

Why doesn't anybody reccomend the ATI 6950 ...it could be had for 220 AR and it usually is on par with the 560ti or out performs...

You have to put them in your cart together and it comes up...i'm doing it right now and it works.

Of course it's in store only......it's freaking MC. He said it's close to him hence ( why whenever someone ask do you have a MC close to you)......not so they can order it online, but so they can go to the store and get the deals. I went in their last saturday and got their "in store deal", and...

I picked up the i3-2100 since i'm a broke college student and it'll fair alright till I get the 2500k. Though, I did get the mobo I wanted with the MSI p67 G-43, and it was between that and the Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 . I kinda wish I got the z68, but so far I like the G-43 and it's been a good...

If you have a MC nearby i'd go ahead and get the i5-2500k and pick up a mobo with it. The deal they have now is 180$ for i5-2500k and when purchased with a motherboard you get 40$ off motherboard. Best deal for an i5 and mobo around.

Well I had it all put together, and I got home from work today to transfer over files to an external hd and reformat the pc on win 7 64bit. As I was in the setup for it I heard a loud pop and a strong odor of burnt electronics......the cougar psu blew up......I hooked up my hx520 and the...
