Looks great. Feature packed at a nice price point. This might replace my idea of getting a 760T.

Ugh, one of my old co-workers would poke at his screen with his pens and pencils all day long. We had just upgraded from some ancient 4:3 monitors to some nice 27" Samsung monitors, and within the first week he had pen marks all over his nice new display. It drove me insane. I wanted to take it...

Best games of 2013? I bought Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure for the PC for my little brother back when it was released in 2006. Did anyone bother to check the actual release dates for these games?

Wow, not exactly the price I was hoping for. Unfortunately it was the price I was expecting, considering how the 79xx series cards are still selling for close to $400 used. Guess I'm going green this Christmas.

This is my dilemma. I've got a pair of 7950s that I'm currently using (and loving) but the thought of selling both for almost $400 each and getting a strong single card solution is really tempting. If the aftermarket coolers for the 290/290x were out now, or if we had some kind of solid release...

Glad to see that the dev team is working overtime. This morning's patch has turned my slideshow into a stutter free, smooth as silk, better than... you get the idea. Crossfire works as it should, CPU usage is still pretty high, but at least its playing great now. Just need to get some more...

Over a week since the beta came out and it's still in an almost unplayable state for me. 3570k @ 4.5ghz, pegged to 90%+ usage at all times. 7950s with the latest 13.11 beta drivers still stutter uncontrollably, barley breaking 40 fps at any given time and dipping down to the single digits for a...

I've had this same issue a few times. Simply closing the browser was enough to solve it for me. Hopefully you'll get some playtime in. I'm having trouble getting this game to run smoothly though. Can't seem to hold a solid frame rate and I'm lucky to get above 45fps on any setting. Running...

No first hand experience here, but it really does look like you got a faulty case. Check out the pictures in this review. Clearly shows the front panel and no obstruction in the SD card reader. http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/4552/nzxt_switch_810_full_tower_chassis_review/index4.html...

I picked up a set of Logitech Z323 speakers not too long ago from Target. Price was right around $50, cheaper than amazon or newegg if I remember right. I'm pleasantly surprised with them. Sound quality is decent, especially for the price. The sub woofer can get a little muddy but there is a...

I realized this an hour after I started downloading. A simple "You've got something downloading, you sure you want to close?" message would have been nice...

Well, I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon and suggest at 7950 as well. The game bundle is a good way to justify the cost, with Bioshock Infinite and Crysis 3 still costing about $60 each. The 670 is a good choice as well, though not as cost effective as the 7950. Either card paired with your...

The new Gigabyte 7950s are not voltage locked, and factory overclocked to 1000mhz. I don't know why newegg, amazon, and other sellers haven't updated that but I was pleasantly when I received my card last month. That being said, you still need adapters to run 3 monitors with the gigabyte card...

I'm really happy with my Gigabyte 7950. The latest bios is factory clocked to 1000mhz, versus 800mhz on the reference cards, and has unlocked voltage control. I haven't bothered to overclock any further, it drives my single 1920x1200 display just fine. BF3 and Crysis 3 look gorgeous and give a...

G.skill has never let me down. I've had to send back a couple sticks, and aside from the delay in shipping (New York to California) it has always been a pleasant experience. Very quick response from them and they didn't really ask any questions when I requested an RMA.
