I've been looking at the ASRock Extreme 3 for the motherboard. Looks like a good board.

I've decided (after spending all yesterday to think about it) to get the 8120.. and yes, MicroCenter really does do great with the pricing. Sort of shocked. I'll probably ask them there if there's any current deals on the 2500k, and if it'll be around the budget range I'm looking at. There are...

Thanks Pray, that gave me a little more information that I needed.. I'll talk to my friends and see what they say. I came here first to be armed with info (and to debate with you guys a bit). We can probably stop posting here, since it seems I have two options and both are good.

I'm stuck between either getting a mATX mobo (using the same case as the one I'm using) or an ATX mobo (using a much older 2000-era case). The ATX mobos I'm seeing for the i5 2500k at Micro Center goes for $100~, not including the $169 or so for the 2500k. (So around $270-$300 for everything)...

Understandably, Intel is the best bang for my buck. But since the Core i5 2500k (with a matching mobo) is a little out of my league, the 8120 is starting to look good. Speaking of, it looks like I could possibly use the 8120 for streaming -- something I've longed to do on my i3 530, but...

As many might (or might not know), Micro Center is selling the AMD FX-8120 for cheap. Having been an Intel fan-boy for a long time and totally new to using an AMD processor.. I am in need of a new processor/mobo and some advice. With my current system (a cheap Gateway computer -- an Intel...

Wonderful wallpaper for Debian! I use Windows 7 and Debian and I always found Debian's other wallpapers as being too colorfull, yours is nice and two-toned :)

Great pictures, is it possible for you to do a Debian and a Windows 7 one? :)

Bump

Bumpity. He would really like to have this fixed.

Posting for my friend: NVIDIA Component Overscan on a 480i SDTV, Nvidia's settings allow me to fix the overscan BUT while changing the overscan size my screen resolution also changes, because of that I cannot play any games on my TV. I'm trying for 640x480 resolution with no overscan. --...

Take the title as is, seriously. Computer specs: PNY GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 (OC'd to 3.0) 2GB Corsair ValueRam (1GBx2) eVGA nForce 610i Motherboard Antec 500W PSU (Semi-Old) OS: Windows 7 Home Premium Ubuntu 9.10 The Run Down: My video card's fan...

One of my good friends suggested to remove the video card and do a test, we did and all four ram cards worked. Which is awkward. We've declared the board as 'faulty', and plan on getting a eVGA nForce 750i FTW from TigerDirect. But thank you for the help. (Plan on getting one my self.)

Hmm. I'm confused as to where to post this at the moment. I've tried boosting the voltage up to 1.3, I refuse to go to 1.4, there is no 'inbetween'.. Same thing happens, it starts up with 2gb, 3 it runs.. But refuses to go into Windows, with 4, it keeps rebooting before POST.

Nope.
