Thanks. I was thinking there wasnt many option for glossy, and i think that this is proving it. Thank you for your suggestions. Probably not going to try any kind of monitor lottery, I am just not that lucky. I have heard that some of the anit-glare that is used these days is as sever as it has...

2k as in 2560 x 1440, I have seen, and like the dell series glossy monitors, but for the higher res, i think they get well about $500 for dell.

I am looking for some recommendations for a glossy 2k monitor under $500. It seems to be a hard criteria to search for, as its not always stated in the monitor specifications. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Been solid so far..."knock on wood"

Ya, it may be, but it was cheap, so it fit for what I could do at the time. In hindsight, wish I would have waited for something better

Nope, just had a spare key laying around, didn't want to spend any funds on win 7 if I didn't have to.

Well, I made some progress on the system. I ran memtest several times through on the default memory settings, then when upclocked to 825, and even with the slight overclock it was stable with no errors I found that if I selected ahci it would cause a bsod at the windows loading screen. I...

I will try to test out the memory and some of the other suggestions after work this weekend, don't want system messed up while I don't have time or access to fix it, this system is my work gaming "laptop"

I thought the board would be able to get me to atleast 4ghz from what I had read. So you maybe right. The settings I used just off the top of my head would have been something like 21x multi, 160 blck, 1.25v cpu, 1.81 pll, 1.52v dram, spread spec off, speedstep off, I did however leave vtt...

Hello, A lot to read, sorry! Not sure if I have an issue or not, but I have been overclocking my systems for a number of years now. Had good success with my old 775 system, running a e8400 and x3330 @ 4ghz and as much success with my current 1366 rig. In all those years I might have corrupted...

Ya, I am sure I dont "need" the extra pumping, it was more just, its here, why not use it, kind of situation.

Had a idea to boost my XSPC x2o 750 v4 flow/pressure with a maxi jet 900 aquarium pump I had laying around. I don't have the budget right now for a legitimate pc cooling pump, so I was hoping to maybe get a bit of a boost in performance from this "free" upgrade. My system will be raystorm block...

I have had good success with my Akasa Vipers on my ex240. Seem to push good air at respectable volume.

What would probably be the minimum NVidia card to use as PhysX processor? I got an old 8800gts 320mb laying around, would use it conjunction with incoming r9 290 if it would do some good.

I grabbed the 290 from above and will be ordering a x5650 soon. Once all old stuff is sold off, my total cost for new case, video card, cpu, a few fans, new water cooling tubing and few other odds and ends will be right about $300. Again, I would like to thank you all for the input and ideas. I...
