    cpu, mobo, ram to replace Q6600 $250 or less

    I think my old rig finally bit the dust but it has been relegated to a kids pc anyway. I need to replace the cpu, ram, and mobo. I will be reusing all my other parts vid card, SSD, etc. I just want a quad core with equivalent performance, and if I can o/c with the parts selected, that's even...

    $1200 gaming build suggestions

    The reviews I'm speaking of were reviews on the Seasonic you recommended. i got the GTX for $250 (free ship/no sales tax), I couldn't find a 7950 for less than $310 (plus $21 tax), I was looking hard but you had already found the cheapest one. I have the card o/c'd 20% on the GPU and the RAM.

    $1200 gaming build suggestions

    Is that power supply really so bad that I have to worry about making my machine a paperweight? I did look at a couple reviews of the p/s you suggest and it does look pretty nice. Are the cables generous in length? What about the specs on the rest of the pc, think I put together a nice machine...

    $1200 gaming build suggestions

    i may consider a new p/s, but i really like this case. It has the HDD dock in top, which I've already used several times, and tons of room. I was choosing between this case or the MK-1. As I said I didn't expect the case to have a p/s. I had purchased a corsair 600w while at microcenter, but...

    i didn't document the model number, I'll post that when I get home later. it was a TT branded p/s 700w. I had purchased anothe p/s before I opened the case and saw I had a freebie. I think tiger sold me the wrong case, there is an overseer sold with this power supply, but they charged me for the...

    680i owners - urgent - Patriot Extreme Performance good memory?

    I have them as well. all working great. I paid $160 (after rebate), and I would consider buying another 2Gb at the current price if I was running Vista. But since XP won't recognize all 4Gb I'll stay with 2Gb. $140 is a good price, but you never can tell with memory prices, just find a price you...

    MSI P6N SLI-FI / Platinum (650i) Thread

    Alice, check out the patriot extreme ddr-800 I am running. It is working great and is probably cheaper than the corsair you are looking at. I couldn't be happier with the patriots.

    MSI P6N SLI-FI / Platinum (650i) Thread

    I was having problems getting a stable front side bus of even 1100 but I read on another forum, that these brds were having trouble with the 1066 strapping? I went home set the FSB to 1425 and it booted right up at 3.206Ghz. Core temp is reading a little high for my liking 39 idle/ 59 load. I...
