    Tri 480 GTX to AMD 7990

    I am going to have to agree with Mr.K6. Wait and see what the 290x has to offer before you go for a dual GPU card.

    Q9400 and current gen card - bottleneck?

    You must have an issue with something else because my 2.5GHz quad core can push a GTX 460 no problem and my buddy's Q9550 used to push quad SLI 295's no problem.

    Q9400 and current gen card - bottleneck?

    The beta seems to be a CPU hog, it really benefits from more cores at higher clocks. I wouldn't look at the beta performance and be turned away. My Xeon E5420, a 2.5GHz core 2 Quad basically, plays BF3 with a GTX 460 on medium at 1080p with a solid 60fps. In the BF4 beta, the same system can...

    Where can I find one of these?

    So I am trying to run a 771 CPU in a 775 board and I need one of these little sticker things to do it. Does anyone know what it is or where I could find one?

    GTS 450 repair?

    I got some very useful info from a thread I started on 4chan in /diy/ so I am going to try and replace the missing parts with some parts from a broken motherboard I have. I will report back with the results.

    GTS 450 repair?

    Hmm, I might try and solder a little wire on to jump it and see what happens, but I will wait a bit and see if anyone else replies.

    GPU Upgrade

    Go for a 7850, they are a bit over your budget, $180 or so, but they are fantastic cards for the money. If you really don't want to go over $150, get a GTX 650 Ti or a 7770, but the 7850 is going to provide superior performance for a little bit more money. Also, if your monitor 1080p?

    GTS 450 repair?

    Okay, I wonder if the code next to them means anything or if it is just something the manufacture puts on the PCB to identify the component.

    GTS 450 repair?

    Hi guys, I broke a few small components off of the back of my ECS GTS 450's PCB a while back and it no longer works. I have some decent soldering skills and I have confidence in myself that I can repair it, but I have no idea what parts to buy, here is a picture of the damage. The missing...

    Current PSUs good enough?

    Get the 650 just to have some extra headroom for overclocking and future upgrades.

    Upgrade the CPU

    Don't go with a closed loop water cooling solution. Go with this kit later on you can add another rad and a GPU block plus its performance will be much better than a closed loop.

    Spend more on cpu or mobo?

    More on the Mobo for sure. You should buy a really good mobo and a cheaper CPU then down the road upgrade the CPU and have a super solid system. Thats my 2 cents...

    Asus Sabertooth X79 compatible components

    1. Yes the Noctua will work with that motherboard 2. The RAM also should work, but be careful with clearance because of the size of that cooler 3. I'm not sure... Hope that helps!

    keep my GTX560Ti hawk or....

    SLI and wait for Kepler. At your resolution 1GB of vram is more than enough to max out any games today.
