    Where to Demo Mechanical Keyboards

    I've been reading about mechanical keyboards and the differences between all the different "color" switches. I'm really interested in purchasing one but I don't know which switch I'd like the best. I've read the descriptions but I don't think i'll "know" which one until I touch them and just...

    Noob help for OC'ing an i7 920

    Over in the Video Card thread it was suggested I OC my i7 920 because I was worried about getting a new 7970 or 670 with my old CPU being a bottleneck. I've never overclocked anything before but I'm technically proficient. I've seen a lot of guides just by searching Google but does anyone...

    Is a 7970 or 670 worth it considering my CPU

    wow i'm so noob I'm guessing since it's square you can point 'em w/e way you want so which way to do you point those things. down towards the bottom of the case, up towards the video card or front or back facing. Up towards the video card seems like a bad idea

    Is a 7970 or 670 worth it considering my CPU

    I'm a bit hesitant to do that with my stock cooler on it. I probably need to research what's safe for that processor OC with stock cooling. I do seem to recall the talk about that CPU when I bought it that it was a really good overclocker.

    Is a 7970 or 670 worth it considering my CPU

    I'm looking to upgrade my video card so I can play Far Cry 3, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite and Crysis 3 comfortably @ 1920x1080. I've got the funds for a 670 or a 7970 but it's a bit of a stretch. Am I wasting my money looking at those cards with the CPU I have? Current Specs...
