    E5200 Overclock Recommendations

    Should I worry about damaging my G.Skill F2-6400CL5-2GBPQ? What should I have my RAM settings at for that particular model of memory? I don't want to damage my RAM.

    E5200 Overclock Recommendations

    If you can get 3.5GHz, then 3.0 GHz seems fine for me. I have a XIGMATEK Dark Knight and good air cooling which should be plenty. I don't want to overvolt just yet. Which BIOS settings should I change to get a 1:1 ratio at around 3.0GHz?

    E5200 Overclock Recommendations

    I'll read over the guide. I made my first post a little clearer :p Also, does anyone here have personal experience with a setup like mine or similar?

    Certainly tiraides. I need to get some things squared off with my digital camera and I'll take some and post them.

    Budget Gaming Build #2

    Thanks, I'm choosing the EVGA GTX 260 to stick with Nvidia and because I want COD World at War. As far as performance, it seems it doesn't really matter. I'll let everyone know how everything goes - and post the final part list. Whenever I purchase I'll also post the price, and when I build I'll...

    Budget Gaming Build #2

    Thanks. I've decided to get what lt_shiro and the others recommended & the PSU that Danny Bui told me about. I'm trying to decide on the following 3 cards: I like Call of Duty, but if the differences between the two GTX 260s means the BFG is significantly faster than the EVGA, I would rather...

    Sorry about the double post/bump, but I just added new info to an otherwise thread intended to die. Please see the previous post.

    Budget Gaming Build #2

    Looks like everything is taken care of now..? I should be shopping for those parts looking for best prices on them and buying sometime this week. Did anyone have any last-minute advice or recommendations? Also, if something comes up I'll be sure to stop by. Thanks, everyone at [H]. Update: I...

    Budget Gaming Build #2

    Thanks, hossdaddy. And to get this clear, my understanding is these products are so similar in performance it's best to just go with what appears to be the best price? Oh, I'll be comparing specs too. I just want to know if it'd be find to go with that COD: World at War package - I plan on...

    Budget Gaming Build #2

    Thanks, both of y'all. I've decided on a better video card and PSU and I'll just sell off the 7900GS and the 800W PSU to someone noting their downsides (I'm a nice guy). I'll ignore Quad for now. I'd rather save money and put it towards software (games). If anyone would be kind enough to help...

    Budget Gaming Build #2

    Thanks for the heads-up on the PSU and the 680i. I'll have to research the exact motherboard to see people's success (or lack of) stories. For the PowerUp, you have me worried. I have searched Google and some forums but haven't been able to find much information on the company or the model...

    Budget Gaming Build #2

    The PSU has seemed to suit me well on my current machine (though the draw is significantly less). What's the best way to keep an eye on it? Tiraides, as far as apps I'll be using, basically some of Adobe's suite. I do web work, so mainly Photoshop and Dreamweaver with some Flash - but I like...
