    What's the best upgrade? (nx8600gt)

    I think I'll go with the XFX. It looks like it could handle pretty much anything I'll be using it for. My only question is, do I need one of those PCI power cords? Or can I just plug and play? Thanks for all your help.

    What's the best upgrade? (nx8600gt)

    So I need a PCIe power connector for the XFX? What kind of performance can I expect out of it? Will I be able to stay current for a year or so with the other technology out there?

    What's the best upgrade? (nx8600gt)

    Is there a big difference between that one and the other's I posted? The PSU is the one that came with the case I bought: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156062&nm_mc=KNC-YahooSSP&cm_mmc=KNC-YahooSSP-_-Cases+(Computer+Cases+-+ATX+Form)-_-Raidmax-_-11156062

    I've been using this for about a year now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127286 It's time to upgrade. Been looking at this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133279 This...

    MSI. Manufacturer doesn't really matter to me (even though I've been using Nvidia for as long as I can remember.) It just depends on the deals.

    I need serious halp.

    Okay, I think it may be the CPU's fan. (I had my ear centimeters away from the CPU, and I'm almost postive that's it). For what it's worth, there's no grinding noise when I power down the computer and then start it immediately. :confused: So, I guess I'll replace the fan, and heck, might...

    I need serious halp.

    Well, I've tried listening to each one of the fans, and I still can't discern which one is faulty. I may have to jam a screwdriver through them if push comes to shove. This is my tower BTW: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156209 I'm going to try a de-frag here in a...

    I need serious halp.

    Okay, I dusted the inside (it was pretty bad) turned it on, and I'm still getting that loud, almost grinding noise for several minutes. It sort of sounds like one of the fans' is in over-drive mode or something. *sigh* Not sure where to go from here. I don't want to replace something unless I'm...

    I need serious halp.

    So, I built a relatively cheap gaming computer about a year ago. Haven't had any real problems with it... up until the last couple months. You see, when I turn it on, it sounds like a jet-engine taking off. It's loud. I think it's one of the fans. But I also think it may be the graphics card...
