    Microcenter LG 42" LN5300 LED S-IPS Panel $299

    I also followed the avsforum thread. 1) This is for 2013 models, 2014 models are starting to arrive so stores are clearing out the 2013. 2) Even though the posters talked about IPS models, I could never find any LN5300 with IPS screens ( in the Chicago area). If you dig into the LG IPS...

    Time to Leave AMD for Intel?

    Some games (Total War: Rome II for one) still don't multi-thread/task and require the fastest CPU available to run well. The current trend is to move the multi-threading to the GPUs. So this is going to further discourage developers from multi-threading their games. AMD has almost completely...

    Deciding on upgrade from EVGA GTX460 GTX680 ATI 7970 or wait?

    I would not recommend Sapphire anymore. I've had their ATI products over the years, starting with a 9800 pro. The Sapphire HD 6850 has been a nightmare. The quality seems lacking: Fan failure after 6 months and the RMA process frustrating: 2 months of exchanges with the RMA process. (1st...

    560ti 448 / 570 / 7850 which one?

    Microcenter Mobo choices for i5 build, help please

    Congrats, I think you ended up with a good product. I went through your same eval a month ago and went with the ASUS P8Z68-V Pro. The board is rock solid, the driver CD was up to date and I'm overclocking to 4.4Ghz with hardly any effort (I'm running FAH 24/7 and the system has been up for...
