    First full build in a decade

    Yea, I made a mistake. The i5 3570k has 1300 reviews (I rounded up to 1500), and I thought that was the number of reviews of the Asus mobo, which in fact is 515, not 207. Regardless, I urge you to search for the keyword "flimsy", and then do another search for "thin". You will see what I'm...

    Easy there tiger. I'm not making these things up. They are from reviews that I've read on newegg, in numbers significant enough that I've noticed and remembered those specific points. Don't get so defensive because I'm questioning your recommendations, based on my very simple research. Some...

    Hmmm I see. Thanks for the answers Danny. I just read through the reviews on Newegg about that Seasonic, and it all seems perfect, except that quite a few have mentioned that the cables are a bit too short and the mobo cables are very stiff. I am planning on getting a full tower, and with...

    Awesome information guys. Thank you so much. Skillz, I totally get what you're saying. I never even considered that before. So, I'm guessing, running SLi does not give twice as much graphics processing power, but less than that? What if a 470 costs $50...would the performance of two 470s...

    Well I wouldn't say I'm super duper serious about SLi...but I want the option to be available if I need it. So I guess 750W would be worth it. As for the video card, I was just mentioning that I'm not paying a premium for the OCed MSi card...in fact it's as cheap of a GTX 770 as you can get...

    The PSU is on sale right now for $80. It is usually $90. My main concern was 600W being sufficient power in the event that I go to an SLi config in the future. Is there another you would recommend? I feel like getting a modular PSU might not be as useful with the case I'm getting, which...

    First full build in a decade

    Hi everyone. I was hoping to get some input on a new system that I have decided to build. I have built a few rigs in the past, but it's been a while. So any advice, information, and comments anyone might have, please don't hesitate to mention. 1) I will be gaming almost exclusively...

    RAM price gone up?

    On the other hand, I'm able to get a an i5 for just over $200, a quality asus board for under $150, and a 770 gtx for $400 (which outperforms a 680). $750 for the big stuff, gives me a lot of wiggle room for other components. It does suck that just a few months has seen a 100% jump in RAM prices.
