OK thanks guys, I appreciate the info. I have a good idea of what I need to look at.

I have all of my computers networked together via Win 8 Homegroup for streaming movies and downloaded media to the TV's around the house and I wanted to know if I can plug my DirecTV into the computer and how I would do that. I have read the "Ultimate HTPC" sticky and as it was a few years old...

Ok, sorry for stating something that I shouldn't have on [H] Forum, I respect the opinions and knowledge that I get from here a lot. Thanks for the comments, I'm apologize if I offended anybody.

Hi, I will apologize in advance if this is a taboo subject, but I want to find an IP blocker or re-director for my computer and the last posting on this site is kind of old. I was looking at some of the programs from a Google search and nothing came up as a program for Windows 8. I don't think...

Thanks guys, I didn't realize that my card was still that good. I will check into getting one of the 5850's. Sorry for the snarky remark remark yesterday, sometimes I forget that I am the one that doesn't know much about computer hardware.

Ok thanks guys. I was looking at getting one of the p8-z77's. You can close this thread if you want to.

What I mean is that the 640's and the 7750's are about $100 now, and the 550Ti's have been out of stock for a while now.

I need to replace my MoBo on my sig rig. It keeps shutting down before post, not all the time, but when it does it's about 3-10 times... Anyways, not gonna bother with an rma just want to replace it with something else and looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I desperately need to upgrade my gpu on sig rig. I would like to keep the price as close to $100 as possible but can spend a little more, tax and shipping to AZ included. I know that's kind of cheap but my 550Ti is crapping out on me. Thanks in advance.

Oh ya the fans all work. My other thought was that the h100 water pipes were clogged somehow

There it's no dust. That was one of my first thoughts, but I keep the case pretty dust free. I have to pick up some more thermal paste, then I will try that. I guess my thought was that it was sitting unused in the desert and maybe the paste dried? But alas, I will only be able to tell after I...

I have recently moved from Hawaii to Arizona. Don't ask why. I had my sig rig OC'd at 4.5 GHz, and was running average temperatures of about 60c when playing SW:TOR. After about two months of sitting at my sister's house unused and in the case box, I set it up last night. After about...

Ok, thanks guys for your replies. That's what I thought. Is this a good card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5400619&sku=P450-78504 Or what would you recommend for around that price?

On my sig rig? I have about $250 to spend on upgrading either my motherboard or my video card. The video card ( EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti) is about a year old and has some wear and tear from moving a few times, and I realize that it is the cheapest part of my build as well, but the main use...
