Looking for recommendations for a gaming headset with decent build quality, and real 5.1 capability for my gaming PC. Accurate sound reproduction and a good mic is what I'm looking for. Not looking to take out a bank loan, though. Something < $150.00 would suit me, though far less than that...

Top, you are correct, and I was totally wrong about everything. Took a 2-4 pin lead and it fit perfectly. I'd looked at it before and convinced myself the alignment was all wrong. The pc fired up as expected, and I've even put a mild OC on the 3570k while playing around with the bios. I haven't...

I thought I was thorough in looking to match the cables up, but I'll look again. Thank you for replying, and the information.

I have the Gold Silent Pro 1000 watt unit. thank you

Why the heck does it not have the 8-pin connector for P1 on my motherboard (ASUS P877v0LK)? Bad enough the first one was DOA and I never had time to even check for that connector before I sent it back. Both it's instructions and the mobo's instructions say to plug in P1 or the system won't boot...

I live near one, so I'd be paying state tax, but no shipping. My loving wife had a few credits at Amazon so I paid no tax, and no shipping and got it out the door for $346.00 I guess I could put the difference in change towards a decent monitor.:D btw, whats a decent gaming monitor these days...

for a couple of years now, and so far it's been effective for me. Check some sites like CNET or other online PC sites for recommendations. good luck!

Hey Kyle, I know you guys are busy, but may I request an updated "Gaming Benchmark" test? The current one is over 3 years old now. You know: "tick-tock-tick-tock". thanks!

all the best for your new cpu. seems there are other tasks to consider.;)

I sold my i7-920 and will place it with an i5-2500K. The latter had hyper-threading, and uses gobs more power than the i5, clock for clock. Unless you use games that take advantage of hyper-threading (the i5-2500k is not a hyper-threading cpu) it's been said the 2500k is the best bang for the...

I'm leaning towards the 6970 as it slots somewhere between the 580 and the 570 in both price and performance. Plus the sim I'm interested in is said to love Vram. I considered a 6950 too. I've read of a few issues with the bios flash that make me pause. I'm no t too familiar with the...

I'm currently struggling to decide on one of two video cards: AMD 6970 or Nvidia GTX-570. I have to say that reading many reviews on both of these cards has left me puzzled. I call it a tie or a toss-up. I'm trying to build a gaming system (primary use). I see that one card or another wins out...

Glad to read that your system fits the bill. Are any of those games you play considered to be CPU-intensive, by chance? thanks! T

I don't understand what you mean by "OC i920 bundles (3.8ghz)" Did you buy a complete system? Anyway, I don't think you'll have a problem running your 260 on an i7 system. Ought to work like a gem. Nothing special about an i7 system in that regard as far as I've read. If anything, you might pick...

I wonder which platform will be better for multiple GPUs now that Hydra is near? Will Hydra be the equalizer for the Lynnfield now? check the link to Tech report http://techreport.com/discussions.x/17636 T
