Hey guys. I wanted to relate a good experience with XFX's RMA service since normally people only come post when they're pissed at a company.
I have 4+ year-old GTX260 Black Edition that has made its way through 3 systems that recently went unstable on me and started hard crashing my system...
For a little bit. I will probably build an IB/GTX6xx rig later this summer, but I will be very busy the next few months with work. My entertainment requirements for the immediate future are:
Play Skyrim, ME3, and Diablo3 on the tv at decently high quality
Watch Blu-ray rips and streamed tv...
Hey now there's an idea. I briefly considered that, but the Antec 900 is not spouse-approved living room furniture, and I was concerned about the GTX260's ability to play modern games at acceptably high settings. But I guess I don't have to throw the rest of the computer out with the...
edit: I HAVE TO RUN OUT OF THE HOUSE REAL QUICK. I'l lbe back later to put down what my current idea for the build is so you can critique it. =p /edit
Hi G[H]. I would like to build a HTPC that I can also play Skyrim/ME3 on. My goal is a quiet, cool pc that can still run modern games at...
Thanks for the update! What is the verdict on H100 noise level? Mainly I'm concerned with the pump, as I've read that it can sometimes be heard over everything else.

10% off code: CorsairTen
Code is valid until 05/02/2012 I think but the RAM itself is on a daily deal.
Another day, another SSD deal. This is a trend I can get behind. :cool:

I'm hesitant to call this a [H]ot deal, mostly because I've read in a few places that Corsair's MIR contractor has been really flaky recently. But it seems like these are pretty good prices (specifically the 180GB Force)... What say you?

When I go to checkout I'm getting charged S&H and tax. :mad: Makes the deal less sweet.
edit: Nevermind about the S&H. I'm just retarded. Stupid taxes...
I will be using the Antec in a HTPC build that I intended for it originally. Also I never felt comfortable overclocking her Q6600 or video card (can't remember what model at the moment) without a little more power overhead. It probably would have been fine, but everyone has their personal...
Well no price drop is disappointing, but similarly priced IB processors would take the sting out. I guess we'll see.
As for the rest, thanks for the spot-on advice as usual. The upgrade bug is starting to carry me away! =)
Hey guys, I've been waiting for Ivy Bridge to release to upgrade my E8400 box. Early reviews are uninspiring, though, so now I'm thinking about saving some money and getting a 2550k after the Ivy Bridge release. Preferably on a Fry's sale. I have been out of the game for awhile though, so...
Lol ok so it's not a hot deal for everybody else. But I've had one of these drives for about a year and have been very impressed by its performance. I'm itching to pull the trigger on a RAID setup at this price.
In for one. Thanks op.
edit: deal is still on btw, but when i tried to put 2 packs in the cart, it still showed the same $2.50 discount. The second code reflected quantity properly though.
Hey guys, I decided to go a different direction since a friend gave me a motherboard and a power supply (both brand new) for free. The motherboard is an Elitegroup G31T-M. I know it's cheap and kind of crappy and has integrated graphics, but the price is right. Plus this way I can come in way...
Hey thanks for all your help. I do like ASUS and I do like the idea of getting a more recent video card. Hey bastage if it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you post the names or links to the individual products? The combo links aren't working on Newegg right now so i can't see what you're...
Hrmm. Excellent suggestions, thank you. I know this is way premature, but I like to lurk around looking for deals on every component. It's just something I do.
edit: also I'm curious why you recommended that powercolor card over the many similarly-priced 4850's. I don't see that company...
Hey guys. I came here for advice on a gaming computer build about a year ago and had great success, so I'm back! My wife really wants to be able to play Diablo 3 when it comes out some day, but we're pretty short on funds right now so I'm looking for budget build advice. Here we go...
