That sounds pretty awesome. Any downside to a USB wifi? I just figured it wouldn't be as fast. But yeah, we are talking same room as the router.

UPDATE Hey all. Thanks for the help. I put together a nicely working computer thanks to your help. I realized I needed it to work with WIFI. So I ordered this card: Edimax EW-7128Gn 150Mbps Wireless 11n PCI adapter And then tried to fit it in: And as you can see if you look close, it...

OK, tangent question: edit: // nvm, figured it out.

Will it still be such a drawback even when they're both combined with crossfire? I guess, for right now, I just want it to be able to do well enough to do lower end games like swtor, starcraft 2, and maybe some steam games. Later on though, I might consider upgrading the video card and PSU...

Awesome. Looks like I'm going with exactly that. Anything I need to do in order to "crossfire" these two video cards? Do I need a special bracket or something? For example, do I need this?: XFX Crossfire Bridge Video Card MAAP01CF1K

Honestly I've never tried overclocking. It sounds risky, so I don't know what is involved. If there's no downside to it, I'm not positive I wouldn't. But, frankly, I didn't even realize any of those were overclocking components. As to the Radeons, they both say 512mb on them.

Here's a build I put together from some other comments in other threads: CAS $49 NZXT Source 210 -Inch ELITE-Inch Midtower Case with 3.0 USB - Black MOBO $109 ASUS P8Z77-M LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard CPU $219 Intel Core i5-3570K Quad-Core...

Thanks, excallibur. Sorry I didn't see that first.

UPDATED 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Some gaming, photoshop, and web browsing. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? ~$200 to $300 w/shipping ideal. Can stretch beyond that if unrealistic. 3) Which country do you live in? If...

How bad would it be to install the OS on the SSD without a mounting bracket??? I ordered one and can put it in later, but there are no moving parts, so does it matter?

UPDATE: I got my stuff from newegg, and planned today to install it. However, The SSD didn't come with a mounting bracket. I assume I'm going to need that, and that I just overlooked that detail? Sad that I'm here with no mounting bracket and ready to go.

Thinking of going with this crucial one: Crucial M4 CT256M4SSD2 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC SSD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148443&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo Since it is about $60...

Could be a cool idea. So, some of these drives say SATA III. Does that mean I can't do that kind? SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD128BW 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147192 And what would be a good 1 or 2 TB...

Thanks. Going with and SSD sounds like a really awesome idea. My problem is that I'm out of space for installing all the Steam games I want to install. I'm always running out of room. I suppose. Right now I have a 640 Gig HDD and probably close to 256 Gigs are taken up by games, adobe...

I just need a space upgrade for my machine, and it's been so long, I don't know the limitations based on my specs. Would you guys give me a sanity check here and help me pick out a good Hard drive upgrade? Currently I have a: HDD Western Digital Caviar SE16 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s...
