    Does anyone here have a 590 on backorder?

    It's a long story.

    Does anyone here have a 590 on backorder?

    After placing an order with TigerDirect because it "usually ships within 24 hours" (as opposed to "Backordered - Unavailable for 7 to 10 days" like it should've been), I've just been informed that my 590 won't get here by the end of the week like I had hoped. I'm curious if anyone else here had...

    Did I just bite myself in the buns with this PSU/Mobo/GPU combo?

    Well in one of nVidia's presentation videos it showcased the 1500W SilverStone but I opted not to buy that after hearing some pretty bad reviews of it. So instead I bumped it down a notch to this ever-wonderful SLI Certified Cooler Master - or so I thought. I can't even return it without a...

    Did I just bite myself in the buns with this PSU/Mobo/GPU combo?

    Thanks for the reassurance man. I actually just found out something interesting about this PSU... the whole reason I bought it was because according to one of the sites I was looking at, it was the only 1200W SLI Certified power supply out there. Turns out it's not certified, LOL. TigerDirect...

    Did I just bite myself in the buns with this PSU/Mobo/GPU combo?

    I just bought a Cooler Master RSC00-80GAD3-US Silent Pro Gold 1200W PSU, along with 2 graphics cards that require four 8-pin PCIe power connectors in total. I thought that was fine, until I realized the motherboard I bought (P8Z68 Deluxe) has a "CPU Power Connector" on it that also requires an...

    The New 2600K Series Processors Are Bottlenecked?

    Well that is definitely good news, I just did a quick TigerDirect check and found that an equally comparable machine ran me an extra $1000+ on the older i7's. I had a feeling these forums were awesome :) Thanks again guys!

    The New 2600K Series Processors Are Bottlenecked?

    I'm trying to custom build my first rig in almost a decade, and in the process of researching everything all I keep hearing is how this newer processor is going to bottleneck whichever top of the line graphics card I throw in with it. I'm primarily looking at a GTX 590, but I couldn't tell you...

    Is there anyway I could make this work? (Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD7-B3)

    I took one look at that page, saw the picture and immediately wanted to buy a Dell. LOL On a side note, how do you handle SLI in motherboards that aren't 2 slots apart from each other? In other words, you have one PCIe 16 on top, another one next to it, a regular PCI slot, and then the second...

    Is there anyway I could make this work? (Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD7-B3)

    I have two dual chamber video cards taking up a total of four PCIe slots, along with a sound card and a network card that will take up two additional slots. Apparently if you use two dual chamber video cards you'll only have room for one extra PCIe card, because the PCIe x1 slot on top is...
