    GTX 580 to 770 worth it

    I can get a 770 for $300, but not sure if its enough of a boost from a 580 for that price. I game at 1080 mostly BF4

    120hz Glossy monitors do no exist?

    Been looking all around for a 27" but they seem to be out of production in every instance.

    SimCity V (2013) - screens/artwork and information

    You were able to get a refund even after you had opened the game box?

    New 5.1 Speakers, Z-5500 or Receiver and Bookshelfs? Recommendations wanted

    I notice someone said that the Marantz receivers are a bit better than the Onkyo TX-SR707. Is Marantz a more high end company in general?

    Are Onkyo speakers better over other HTIB solutions? I notice people recommend their HTIB over others. The front speakers will be about 2 ft, and the rear speakers will be about 5 ft back. So the wire length won't be too long.

    Yeah the Klipsch Pro Media seemed like the last good 5.1 PC speaker set, but it's long been out of production

    What would you recommend then. I was also looking at http://www.amazon.com/Energy-Classic-Theater-System-Black/dp/B001202C44 and http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-RM705-Theater-System/dp/B000WGJX5A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1315294588&sr=8-3 as possible options.

    I did it before with ethernet cables but it was quite annoying. Is it possible to use banana plugs to route the cables?

    New 5.1 Speakers, Z-5500 or Receiver and Bookshelfs? Recommendations wanted

    So it looks like I'll end up going for either the Marantz or the Onkyo. One thing is do the speaker sets like the Klipsch HD 500 include speaker wire or must that be bought individually and the cut down. I've never hooked up a receiver setup before so I hope this isn't more difficult then your...

    New 5.1 Speakers, Z-5500 or Receiver and Bookshelfs? Recommendations wanted

    The marantz seems like it doesnt support analog input, but again it's not a big deal although it would be good to have. Has anyone had experience with using DDL, since I want to be sure it would be compatible with all of my games. I'm assuming that the X-Fi just takes a 5.1 signal and...

    New 5.1 Speakers, Z-5500 or Receiver and Bookshelfs? Recommendations wanted

    I plan to use digital out, and I do plan to game in 5.1. I'm assuming my Creative X-Fi Titanium will be able to output 5.1 over digital through Dolby Digital Live. I'm assuming that most receivers would not support analog out from the X-Fi, but maybe someone knows of one. The desk this is...

    New 5.1 Speakers, Z-5500 or Receiver and Bookshelfs? Recommendations wanted

    How do these compare to a receiver + amp? Has anyone upgraded from a z 5500 and noticed a substantial difference? Since I'm considering that my budget is $700, they seem a bit cheap for it. But if it's the best for this situation then I would be willing to buy it. Also I notice that people...

    That's a 7.1 system, but I only really have room for a 5.1. Would a HTIB be a good choice anyway? I would like a degree of customizability with the speakers to be able to swap them out later if necessary.

    New 5.1 Speakers, Z-5500 or Receiver and Bookshelfs? Recommendations wanted

    So my trusty 5.1 Logitech G51s finally went out, and I'm looking for a longer term replacement. Now the simple option seems to be to just replace them with a higher end version of Logitech speakers, which would be the Z5500, which I can get locally for about $220 from craigslist. Though I was...
