    Just a quick question....

    Hey folks! I just got done ordering and after a lot of thinking I changed things up a tad yet remained within my budget. They are as follow: Motherborad: GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 - $144. From what I gather this is a brand new board. I really haven't come across any reviews...

    Just a quick question....

    Thanks Mecha! I never knew you could SLI an i5 with 2 x 560ti cards. Thats crazy! I think I'm going to keep my 650W PSU and see how it goes. Worst case scenario I'll simply purchase a 750W or if I can find one on sale an 850W. I also have a GTX 260 laying around which I may at some point pop it...

    Just a quick question....

    Hello everyone. I do not post here often (as much as I would like), but I have a simple question. I am planning on upgrading from a Q6600 this week. I will be looking at either the Core i7 2600K or i5 2600, the new Asus P8z68-V Pro Z68 and some new RAM (not sure of which). I will be keeping my...

    Core i7 930 or Core i7 860?

    Well, here is my current setup: Core 2 Quad Q6600 8GB Kingston HyperX RAM and I just recently purchased an evga GTX 470. While I notice a good performance gain in some, others I either notice very little or none at all. I know my CPU is the limitation here, so I was just wondering which...

    Core i7 930 or Core i7 860?

    Hey folks, in the market for a new Motherboard/CPU. My question today however lies with the CPU. I'm looking at the Core i7-930 vs. Core i7-860. They're both clocked the same, cache, etc. The only difference I see is the 930 is a Bloomfield, and 860 is Lynnfield, and the 930 uses 130W compared...

    Awesome, thank you very much. Been hunting and been coming across some threads with people saying with some blu-ray PC drives, they don't always play certain movies (sadly, from what they were suggesting movies I would watch lol).

    Blu-Ray PC Drive

    Video Card Upgrade + Bottleneck?

    Thank you both very much for your help with this! I think I may take the dare and go ahead and OC my CPU. Would the stock CPU Cooling fan be sufficient or should I upgrade something to a little more...beefier? All I know is that for the Intel CPU's its a pain in the rear to get the fans on and...
