Hope it fits here, otherwise please feel free to move it. I use a music subscription service, play online games and use a gamming chat program. I like to listen to my music out of the S/P DIF connection into the stereo. Listen to my game from my PC speakers and when I use chat, I use...

One is 1066 and the other is 1600. You would want the 1600 for sure.

I had done some side work and had a very rare and unique oppertunity to build a machine with around 3K or so. Comming in a 3400$ is was with in the budget. It will be and usually is a while between times I can lay out that kind of cash for PC hardware.

I use the HAF 932. I like it becouse it has a hugh amount of air flow, (HAF is for High Air Folw) but it also has fantastic cable management. I could go on and on about the features on this case, but I will not bore you.

Page sawp file, the windows temp directory, IE Cache every temp file and directory you can. There are a lot of write ups on the internet that talk about windows tweaks to help preformance and life of SSD..

I have an SSD for the OS and certain apps and a raid built for storage and other apps I am not concerned about speed on. With windows 7, Photoshop and a game I have used 40Gigs on the SSD so far. Its not a concern for me right now as I got the 128Gig Patriot Torqx SSD. Keep in minf you are...

Cool. I want to get the second 5870 card very soon. Then I will look into a MB with SATA 6 on it and USB 3.0. But I want a few revisions to go by before I jump on that band wagon. Besides I know it means to take advantage of SATA 6 your drives wil need to be SATA 6 as well, how much will...

I would upgrade the BIOS first and confirm proper voltages. Despite being set as default, default might not be picking up the proper settings for your CPS thus the requirement to update. And/Or the setting need to be set manually.

I tend to agree with Big10Fan. They are insuring you are getting full credit for the open box item (display) that you purchased. You are applying that credit towards what ever machine you choose. It is their right to replace if repair cost exceed cost of replacement. You could however start...

What OS are you running? If it is XP try turning off mouse acceleration.

Its hard to say exactly. I have always gone with 2nd party coolers as stock coolers and fans are as cheap as they can get away with. How is the air flow through the case?

Over 3400 with out tax and shipping... I know a Lot. But it should last a good long time.

True but I am runnung 4 7200RPM Drives in RAID 1 + 0, plus a solid state. That and a lot of case fans, external USB devices, and the desire to crossfire. I didn't wanna get into a situation where I was forced to replace the PSU to be able to continue to grow the system.

Features mostly, As I wanna do crossfire the True @16 3-Way SLI , High Definition Audio. Alos I know the name well and the reviews were awsome. I also looked at the Hardwarecanucks site as some review were link to there from here. Great site.
