    New CPU time

    The motherboard in my trusty gaming system finally went out. Since it's almost 3 years old, I've been buying parts for an upgrade. It's time to select the processor now and I'm looking for help. I'm looking at an FX-4170 (4x4.2 GHz), but would like to know if a higher core count such as a...

    Seasonic X-560 Give-Away! 3 PSUs!

    I look for a reliable unit that meets it spec. The reviews and process here and at jonnyguru.com are excellent guides. A common feature I've found reading the [H] reviews and those at JonnyGURU is that those units that actually have 80 plus certifications seem to meet their spec as a general...

    AMD Morphological AA Performance and IQ Review @ [H]

    Nice article. I thought the comparison between the AA types was clear and easy to understand the performance differences. I'm looking forward to my 6870s arrival on Thursday.

    MSI N480GTX Lightning Video Card Review

    After reading through the review and looking at the performance, it seems like this card out of the box barely outperforms the stock 480GTX. It looks like it did better with Mafia II, but otherwise could only improve 1-5 fps over the reference card in other games and actually performed worse...

    ASUS ENGTX460 TOP 1GB Video Card Review @ [H]

    Your awards, if you want them taken seriously, should mean something. Consider that the 768MB reference cards start at newegg for ~$160. What am I really getting from this card, an extra 256 mb RAM, a fancy heatsink, factory OC and sub-5850 performance. Seems like there's better ways to...

    ASUS ENGTX460 TOP 1GB Video Card Review @ [H]

    I'm confused. It underperforms against the 5850 and costs more, yet still gets a silver award. Tell me again what does a silver award mean????

    Time for a new card (9600GT Replacement)

    Thanks! I'll probably look at the single card solution. To switch to SLI would mean a new mobo, psu and memory

    Time for a new card (9600GT Replacement)

    I'm looking for a good replacement for my three year old Chaintech 9600GT w/1GB RAM. It does alright at 1680 x 1050, but I just upgraded my monitor to 1920 x 1080 and would like to upgrade the card as well. I'm cheap. (I've a car payment, two kids, a mortgage and a wife. :D) so I'd...
