    Can I get away with just a video card?

    Is this bettter? :D I just found out there is a MC near me so I'll look around for deals. Fry's too. If I can get an i5 2500 under $200 then I'll get it.

    I just sent a payment for a 6870 and 8GB ram. Now for the CPU and Mobo. Thanks everyone for your help.

    Can I get away with just a video card?

    Sweet. I'll keep my eye out on an i3. I haven't tried Skyrim but I wanted the best experience I could get.

    Can I get away with just a video card?

    Thanks. I was looking at the i3 2100. Will I be able to run Skyrim lagfree (on high) with that and a 6870? I've seen some 560tis on slickdeals for around $180 after rebates. May extend my budget if I have to.

    Can I get away with just a video card?

    Hmm, decisions decisions. What kind of parts can I get with $300? I don't think I can salvage anything on this computer. So I need a mobo, CPU, ram and gpu. I think this is my mobo. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128081 Maybe something like this...

    So so many soundcards to choose from...

    Why does it matter? I can't buy a sound card and keep it for my next computer and my next one and my next one? or I guess I can't make threads asking for a better sound card.

    Should be able to, I want to future proof my computer as well.

    So so many soundcards to choose from...

    There are so many different kinds of X-Fi series. I see Turtle beach still makes some and a few Auzens and some Asus. Never used them but I hear a lot about them. I have a Klipsch Promedia 2.1 and looking to upgrade my onboard sound card. My budget is around $50-70. I play games 40/music...

    How to find speakers that have only ONE plug?

    Some 5.1 speakers have a setting to make the speakers use only the green wire but it's only stereo sound.

    Windows 7 + AuzenTech X-Plosion 7.1 Cinema = No Surround on MP3s

    When I had 5.1 speakers, I had to get Foobar2000 and change this one setting to make the rear speakers have the same output as the front speakers (I think the sound card had the same settings but it was more convenient to do it in the media player). Sorry that I don't remember what exactly it...

    Need help upgrading

    You can probably get a nice Onkyo HTIB for $200-300. Thats a good start but if you have room for 5.1-6.1-7.1 so I don't know. Maybe a Swan M200.

    Swan 1080 vs. M-Audio AV-40

    Can't decide between the two. I don't mind recommendations for 2.0 speakers or 2.1. I play a lot more games but I'd rather have the clarity for Music and Movies. Have thought about the Promedia 2.1 but I'm done with super bassy stuff. So I got it down to the 1080 from Swan or the AV-40 from...
