It's been about 3 years since I've built a new system and I could use a little help please. I've got the following spec'd out: Bitfenix Prodigy Case Core i-5 3570K 3.4GHz Corsair Vengeance 8 GB ( 2 x 4 GB ) DDR3 1600 MHz Gigabyte LGA 1155 DDR3 1600 Intel Z77 EVGA GeForce GTX760...

Preferably under 17".

Got a little extra cash and I'm looking to pickup a new laptop. I would prefer a windows machine, i like to game and i do a lot of multimedia development. Any suggestions?

Correct, I do not have an SLI board. I went SLI when I had dual 7800 gtx's and it just didn't seem worth it to me. So, when I built my last computer; I went the single card route.

Thanks for the reality check on the 4850. I'm definitely going to pick up a gtx 260.

Think I'll wait for another round of price cuts on the gtx 260's (over-clocked core 216) and pick one up when they hit under $200.

I'm a little surprised by the recommendations for the 4850. I was under the impression that it's not that much of any upgrade over an 8800 gtx (but apparently I was wrong). I've seen some on Newegg around $150 or so - pre mail-in rebates, but it looks like the gtx 260's are still around the...

Sounds like I'll be holding off on a GPU upgrade until after the first of the year. Who knows, maybe then I'll be able to afford (justify) buying a GTX 280!

I use my computer for a lot of Photoshop, Flash and Illustrator work as well as gaming. I don't do any video editing, nor do I watch movies on my PC. My main interest is, in this case, gaming. Specifically at native resolution for my monitor and justifying enough of an upgrade over my...

Currently using a 8800gtx with a 3.0ghz Core 2 duo and 4gb of RAM (windows XP), 24" LCD at 1920x1200. I'm trying to decide between the following cards: 4850 4870 gtx 260 9800 gx2 I don't plan on upgrading my processor anytime soon or switching to Vista, so what would be the best fit for...

Picked up an LG L206WTQ-BF the other day and while I like it, it's got a massive blue tint! Everything that's supposed to be white or light gray is blue-ish white/blue-ish grey. I have tried raising the red gamma/brightness/contrast, then everything turns purplish. No matter what I do, I can't...

I have a 24" LG and a 20" LG that I use in a dual monitor setup. The 24" is the primary, the 20" the secondary. There are some games I prefer to play on the 20" versus the 24". There any way to quickly designate which montior should be the primary display for a specific application? I...

ooops...double post

Here's my take from owning both: Samsung 245bw: + Excellent text sharpness + Excellent response time + Excellent input lag + Reasonably priced +/- Good color reproduction - Poor viewing angle - Less input options LG 246wp: + Excellent color reproduction + Excellent viewing...

In R0ach's "defense" (and I use that term EXTREMELY LOOSLY), i will agree that in general text is not as sharp as the Samsung. It's by NO means blurry, or unsharp, just not as razor sharp. The Sammy also has a sharpness setting that can be manipulated, where the LG does not. I find myself...
