I installed a V8 on a AMD 965 BE in a CM Storm Case a year ago. Got great temps with it. Idled at around 25 degrees Celcius. A little bit heavy imo, but it does the job. V8 for $80 though is quite expensive...got mine for like $40ish?

Never been a fan of OCZ memory (I don't mind their PSU's though). Corsair, Kingston, and G.Skill have been all really good brands to me.

Doesn't Foxconn make most boards?? But I agree, no ECS! Trying my first MSI build, you we'll see...

What graphics card are you currently running? System specs? I think that your PSU should be handle a GTX 460 or a 6850 without any problems which should handle Diablo 3 w/ out a problem.

I would probably go with either the dual 6970's or 570's. It's a win win situation you're in. Both are great cards and will rip most games up. I probably wouldn't go for the 480's, not because it isn't a great card, but just in case you wanted to sell them out when the time came for you to...

If you're on a 24" with 1080p resolution, then I would go for the 1GB. I was thinking 1GB when I was first buying my GTX 460. But I, just like you, didn't find the needs to justify the purchase because I'm on a 22" and 1680x1050 resolution.

Very interesting. I did an RMA with Steelseries over a year and a half ago for a Siberia v1 headset and it went smoothly (not the most recent of transactions, sorry). I got my support ticket, mailed in the item, and the new item arrived not too long after.

I would go with the 1GB version of the 460 or the 6850. Price is real sweet right now and under $200. Or you can go w/ the 5870 like everyone is stating, great card.

G9x (if you don't mind claw grip) or MX518. Played a bit w/ Razer Copperhead, that wasn't too bad either.

Lover of the MX518 for 5 years, but switched over to the G9x to see what others were raving about. Might have to go back...

Same setup as blaze_itt, but I switched to the G9x from the MX518, and found that i'm gripping the mouse like a claw now especially during games.

Yea Kangg is right on. Your best bet is to stick with Home Premium if you don't need all the bells and whistles of what Pro/Ultimate have to offer. Home Premium will be sufficient for all your gaming and homework needs.

The patch killed the Terran Tanks, oohhh noes!

$60 is definitely pricey (just like all 360/PS3 games), but I think it's definitely worth it. The single player with 26 missions has high re-playability and that's not even half of it; you got multiplayer and other fun stuff as well. If you're somewhat interested in RTS games, I think it's a...

In for 1 :)
