Hello, selling my 7950 purchased last Sept.--haven't been gaming as much as I wanted so hoping it'll find a better home. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sapphire-Radeon-HD-7950-11196-19-20G-Lightly-Used-/121271169227?ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123 Thanks for viewing!

I was sold on the multiplayer, esp. since I could play on LAN (works through programs like Hamachi) not everyone in my gaming circle owns either a 360 or PS3, but everyone is spec'd to run borderlands on their respective rigs

The 80GB PS3 with software emulation is newer, in terms of hardware, than the 60GB with the full PS2 backwards compat. I have had no issue playing my PS2 games on the 80GB PS3 with the software emulation in the past year; so I would say the extra $50 or so you pay is well worth it. However, in...

UPDATE *Received the last of my parts yesterday so I went ahead and put it together *Will have to clean up the wiring better when I get to it again *Ran Prime95, 3dmark, memtest86--all green *Side Fan makes a slight "screeching noise" on higher rpms--might move it to bottom of the case THANK...

A few final questions before I order the motherboard and cpu: 1. What is the recommended method for connecting more case fans? I notice the motherboard has only 2 case fan connections. I am considering getting a power splitter cable for the sys fan connector rather than connecting fans...

That's a very good point. Unfortunately, I do not have a Windows XP install disc A good nitpicking at that. Will do. Wouldn't hurt to get more value then, I suppose. -Yes -Yes -Yes Will there be a substantial time gap between the time the Release Candidate expires and the actual retail...

Sure ____CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 920 Quad-Core Processor - Retail (Link) ~$170.00 ____Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-MA770-UD3 AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard (Link) ~$75.00 ____(OPTION 1)COMBO Special X4 920 CPU + RC-690 Case: ~$199.00 (Link) ____(OPTION 2)COMBO Special CPU + Motherboard...

Oh, I see where my wording went off--oops. I plan to replace each computer sooner or later with a new one. I was hoping to build at least 2 computers to put at home because they are quite old; this thread being about the 1st one. Oh wow. I guess I'll go with this. Thanks, I will...

--Yeah, probably not. My goal is to replace the 4 computers in the living room used for workspace in order to also have gaming capability. It would be a waste to jump to i7 from Pentium3. Similar waste to build a $400 system unless it meets gaming demands. On the other hand, The E8400...

Oh, alright. I'll make the leap to a quad core, putting the Q9550 on the list unless there's an objection. Should the motherboard stay, in this case? I also looked at the Gigabyte EP45-UD3L motherboard and am wondering what it has over the Gigabyte EP43 that was recommended to me. Is the...

---Oh, well for the most part, no one in my household will need that powerful a PC to use. Outside of web browsing(email, youtube), there isn't much the build would be used for. Arguably, a cheap $500 prebuilt from any B&M store would be enough to last 1-2, even 3, years. I originally planned...

- Wow, thanks! - - - Oh, I mean the ability to play current games would be nice but I would much prefer less of an energy-hog. - Changed the RAM from 1066 to 800, would this reduce overall performance much? - Guess I'll jump on the bandwagon of replacing stock CPU coolers - Updated with...

------ STATUS: __COMPLETE. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! __PICS added with recent post ------ Hi everyone, I'm getting ready to take the plunge and finally build my first computer. I'm still reading on the building guides and what to do after booting; in the meantime, I would like help picking out...
