    Upgrade video card + PSU or core system (CPU, etc.)?

    Ok, so I'm going to use the DFI board for a few months, then I'll buy a nice quad core with a new motherboard if I need the performance.. I'd probably go with the X58 chipset. So here's what my build looks like: EVGA GTX260 Core 216 - $150 with $10 MIR Corsair 750TX - $110 with $20 MIR...

    Upgrade video card + PSU or core system (CPU, etc.)?

    I realize this is maybe not the best time to introduce this question, but it looks like I could build an intel system around the Q6600 and a GTX 260 that IF it overclocks well, would give me better performance (in most cases) than the AMD setup. I've just always gone with AMD, and as you can...

    Upgrade video card + PSU or core system (CPU, etc.)?

    Yea I think the 512 will be enough for me, as a monitor upgrade is well down the road. I can then reconsider my card options and resell the 512 (as I'm reselling the 8800GTS now). 750 quad? - NVM, the power supply. :)

    Upgrade video card + PSU or core system (CPU, etc.)?

    Yea, it's definitely NOT a lateral upgrade. I figure the PCP&C I linked should be sufficient into the future, as I would LIKE the option to grab a second 4870 and say a 25 or 28 inch monitor down the road. Although if that's the case, should I ignore the great deal I'm getting on the 720 +...

    Upgrade video card + PSU or core system (CPU, etc.)?

    LoL! I literally just put that combo in my cart, came and checked this post to see if anyone had replied.... That's awesome, in a geeky, creepy way... I was wondering if I should go with a 4870 with 1GB though, but I figure at 1680x1050, really the only game that MIGHT need that extra 512...

    Upgrade video card + PSU or core system (CPU, etc.)?

    Yea I was thinking I could get it all, minus that power supply (unless you really think the OCZ I have, which is the 520 watt, won't be enough for that setup). But it seems to be a lateral upgrade in power supplies. "In a month or so" means two paychecks from now :) I was thinking I would get...

    Upgrade video card + PSU or core system (CPU, etc.)?

    Well with option two, I have the HD 4870 in there; With an overclocked 720 (still deciding on the cooling btw), Do you think WIC will have a good 20-40 fps at 1680x1050, with most if not all options on (AA and AF most likely excluded for a smoother ride). I figure just upgrading my cpu/mobo...

    Hi dude, I've seen that name used over on the MSI forums. I have the same motherboard and have a winchester core... can you guess which thread I've seen you on? lol sharing your frustration with the board, I was interested in most of your parts except for that board lol, I'm trying to get OUT...

    Is it possible to convert a RAID 0 array?

    Thanks, I pretty much figured that was the case. I've had nothing but problems running RAID on my board. Using the NVIDIA raid wouldn't even install windows, I guess you have to make a special windows xp disc as windows overwrites the drivers during install...which causes the install to crash...

    Is it possible to convert a RAID 0 array?

    Hi, after rading a post about the lack of performance increase going to a striped array, I would like to either use my hard drives more efficiently as a RAID 1 array (for redundancy), or as simply two seperate drives (one for "programs", one for "storage" or something similar). My question is...

    Does a few degrees make a significant difference in overclocking my 3000+ Winnie?

    excellent, I think I will go with the Zalman CNPS7000B as I can get it pretty cheap at frozen (I'll be out in NY next week so I'm going to their store). It's only a few dollars more than getting some generic cooler and it looks like that extra cooling will help the winchester hit higher speeds...
