I just upgraded from a 4870 myself, and was in your shoes. Two-ish weeks ago I bought an EVGA 760 ACX to replace my dependable 4870 for 255 dollars. That said, if I were buying today I'd be snagging a 7950 in a heart beat. I was being sorely tempted when the prices were comparable. Now, it's an...

I find Hwcompare to be another exceptional website to look at. Take its results along with a dose of gpureview, anandtech, and good old countless reviews of cards featuring your gpu of choice.
ATI also stated that this was a launch of products all across the product lines, right? Or did I read that wrong, and they're only launching their 2900 here for these next few weeks.
If they hurry up and get a 2600XT out, they might be able to coax the cash out of me for it. As long as its...
The more ram you add, the more likely you are to end up with a weaker memory IC (chip) that will hold back ALL of the other IC's that you have paid for. This is one reason for single side vs dual side memory, more chips means more chances for one to have failed.
Forgive me if this is...
I would have ordered these before the second price drop. If only my debit card hadn't been compromised, and my new one was already here! I'm afraid by the time my debit card comes back, this will be gone, or else the card will be here and I will have spent all my money at the bar with friends...
It's called...buy the current generation's midrange card that runs with the previous generation's top end cards. Then, if you're good you have an SLI/Crossfire board, and when the generation comes out to spank your current generation - you pick up a companion card from somebody who is making the...
Now price went down to 84.99 - 15 dollar promo code + 5 dollar shipping. But, its out of stock again. They increased the price earlier, and now decreased it again. I'm watching like a hawk. :cool: :p
My senior year of high school (04) we were short 4 controllers for our 4-xbox part I was having at one of my senior graduation parties. So, each of us went and bought a controller. Then, over the course of the next couple days, we returned them. :cool:
It happens. And if I had to choke a...
I just saw that it is down to 80 dollars. As soon as my work check deposits later on this morning, I'm buying it as soon as I can. Only problem is that I had my debit card scammed last week, and so I'm waiting for my replacement debit card to come in. I got hte little form that they send...
Is your Dell ATX? mATX? Or proprietary? I can't remember if Dell is still using prop. motherboard/powersupplies.
You can reuse your ram and graphics card, if the case is ATX, then you can follow the advice below.

Matter of fact, you DO need Vista to run DX10. DX10 content is not out yet, so its not a big issue, except you're going to be doing the upgrade sooner rather than later so why not do it now?
It never hurts to have more hard disk space. More space you have, the easier it is on your system...
Haha, that is more then enough for WoW. I can't believe people are saying that he needs to go get an 8800GTS 320, even AFTER he says that anything longer then his 1900GT won't fit.
Definately check out your drivers. That is a big resolution, yes, but you shouldn't be running that slow with...
I've flashed three different boards (PC Chips, ASUS, and MSI) with windows based programs, and all three were fine. As said, there are those who don't have my luck, and have lost a perfectly good board because an issue rose up.
Turn everything off, even try doing it in safe mode if you can...
Considering the money that you're laying out for the components, I think a Stacker would be a great idea. A budget build goes into a budget case. A high-performance build like yours deserves nothing less then a quality case. Stacker, or even look into the LL's. I'm too cheap to spend more then...
I'm in the planning phase of doing a build which I think many of the rest of you have done - 3600+/TForce550 - but had a couple of questions I wanted to ask you guys. Been lurking here for quite a while.
Could you guys post up a couple pictures of your cable management. I'm concerned with...
