    PSU Selection: Seasonic S12II 520w for GTX 560 Ti 448 cores?

    I just finished a build based on ARS’s “Hot Rod” specs, but at the last minute, switched out the Radeon HD 6950 2GB for a GTX 560 Ti with 448 cores, without realizing that the power requirements for the latter are 550w vs. 500w for the former. The PSU selected was Seasonic S12II 520w. I...

    Suggest an upgrade to my ol' Dell

    Yeah I've been dreading re-installing VISTA because of how long it took me to get it running the way I like it. For the hard drive, I already have a 7200 rpm Serial ATA drive. Would upgrading to this samsung really help?

    Suggest an upgrade to my ol' Dell

    Hey guys, I have a Dell that I bought in 2007. Lately its been getting slower and slower, especially when I browse web pages with imbedded video like cnn.com. It seems like the requirements even for an "e-machine" have risen with HD video hitting web-sites like youtube, etc. I don't play any...
