    1000$ Max. Budget Upgrade

    Thank you so much for the quick reply! I completely forgot to mention. Already have MX100 that I'm very happy with. Truth be told I wouldn't mind just going for the 970 and SSD for the laptop. The case and the PSU are more pet projects, but still would nice to get some opinions.

    1000$ Max. Budget Upgrade

    Hello everyone! I use my desktop PC mainly for gaming and recently with the purchase of a few graphically intensive games I've realised it is really starting to show its age. Luckily I'll hopefully get about 1000$ for a job around new year and I've been planning on putting at least some of...

    Why SFF?

    I am currently in the process of building a SFF and I can say that for me the reason was portability meeting power. My laptop, which I love, is slowly dying because of use and maybe mistreatment. I already went through one of the same model and I can't feel comfortable with all the new keyboard...

    mATX $600+ Gaming/Media PC Build

    Great, I am on the verge of ordering the parts, I even shaved off about 5-10$ from shipping and tax, I hope the prices remain low. Except for choosing to go for Kingston HyperX 2 GB, instead of regular 1333 MHz (I found both for the same price so why not) I haven't changed the order since the...

    mATX $600+ Gaming/Media PC Build

    Wow, thanks for the great tip with QS200, although it is not a cube it is much slimmer, while I wasn't sure that was a tradeoff I wanted to have then I saw the price. Aerocool QS200 is 59$ without PSU. So I am quite happy with how it turned out.I wonder how silent it is or if it is silent at...

    mATX $600+ Gaming/Media PC Build

    Thanks for all the comments=) OK, I wouldn't want to buy a crap PSU and have to deal with it later, but I have a slight problem. The CM PSU is 71$, while I could only find 450W PSU from Corsair...

    mATX $600+ Gaming/Media PC Build

    I live in Turkey. I am sure I could locate any PSU or ship it internationally if I have time, but in the end it would be horrendously overpriced. I am trying to use parts I can get online locally where I wouldn't have to pay a lot of shipping fees. OCZ, Corsair, Thermaltake, Coolermaster...

    mATX $600+ Gaming/Media PC Build

    Yeah, but unfortunately where I live the GTX 460 768MB is 219$, cheapest. If it was 170$ I would have definitely considered it, but 70$ is a bit too much, considering I have a very good (but very large) gaming PC anyway and want this for my room and to be more portable. Thanks for the...

    mATX $600+ Gaming/Media PC Build

    Thanks for the reply, I looked a bit more but yeah basically the video card is the most marked up item sold on the list. The others have understandably markup margins (not more than 10-15$) but every GPU I see is quite pricy. 460 GTX is 219$ and 5770 begins from 189$ so I am not sure about...

    mATX $600+ Gaming/Media PC Build

    Hello all! I am currently trying to build a mATX PC to use as a Media PC and for medium gaming. The problem is I don't have much experience with smaller form factors and I am limited in my choices because of where I live. I am trying to get the best value (ie cheapest without losing much...
