ok i've read the other posts about people's questions towards how the upgrade works with an OEM Vista disc from Newegg. All of them were great help and i understand....but one thing i still do not understand. When after i upgrade my machine (still has 64 bit Vista on it) to Windows 7 am i...

lol@me see i told you i have been out of the game for a while now...i just assumed that since you said SLI that it had a Nvidia chipset and would not work well with an ATI card.....chalk up another dumb statement by me! i'll check it out and the Gigabyte board as well thanks again

thank you problem is i really wanted to get him the 5780 card so that board and all would not work....thanks for the other suggestions though.

awesome...thanks for that link

yeah i have dropped the Scout and i'm looking at the Sniper or the full tower HAF 932 now my father in law comes into town today so i'll let him choose but i'm sure he will go for the cheaper route. someone else suggested this MSI board since i said i worked with them in the past and he...

any mobo suggestions? just noticed that was an instant rebate thanks! thanks for all the advice so far as well!

someone else suggested this G.Skill RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231279 besides the price which one is better?....the one i posted says something about being for i5 P55 motherboards

i'll check....i think i saw it would fit by watching a review of the case on YouTube...and that there are removable drive cases as well for such a thing. thanks for the power suggestion with the rebate...but is 750w overkill? also any mobo and ram suggestions?

I’m building a machine for the first time in about 4-5 years so, yeah, it has been a while. I had 2 little boys since and they sucked up most of my money. Well my father-in-law wants me to build him a machine for gaming and general purpose. I will be using this build as a template for a build I...

get a wife and kid/kids problem solved...no more money to always upgrade.;)

that also depends on who your cable provider is.....about the standard definition quality. I had Comcast for a long time and i noticed a HUGE improvement once i got FIOS for standard definition.

i have a Samsung HL-S5687w DLP (1080p) set and i love it. i bought last July for 2900.....and i think it's now down to like 2000 or might be a little below that price wise. Anyway it's fantastic.....the picture is out standing with a little tweaking....i have my 360 hooked up via VGA cable and...

i'm looking at those corsair ones right now that someone else suggested.

well i've never actually seen a P182 in person...i was just basing my opinion off of my P160 case...i mean it's sturdy....put has too many plastic parts for my liking.....for example the front bezel.

thanks for the info...i'll check those out i have a P160 case that i love.....but i do know what your saying about the flimsy thing....the P160 also suffered from that a bit.

i'm going with a majority of those parts....except: 120 GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 LGA 775 Intel P965 155 Antec P182 Gun Metal Black i know the case is expensive but this is my future comp and i don't want to buy a cheap case right now just to put it in something then down the road have to...

maybe sometime in the future....so i guess if the MB can do quad that would be nice. also i guess i don't need a MB with onboard video if there's a card i can buy for really, really cheap

ok....a friend of mine is going thru a divorce and is giving his wife their piece of cr@p comp. He was wondering if i had a comp i could sell him.....i have a back up one that i don't use but like to have it in case my main goes down and i have something to get onto the internet with to find the...

well good luck...but i'm sure you'll never find a women who loves you with an attitude like that. a marriage is about NOT being selfish....and right off the bat your showing a lot it.

this is the dumbest f'ing post i've seen in a while. your obviously someone that either has had one too many bad relationships or a failed marriage that ended nasty. please....no one take his advice.

maybe...i don't know how they live...or maybe they make shit load of money

i think it comes down to where you are in life. for example 5 years ago i could and did upgrade my comp all the damn time too keep up with the best graphics out there. As of today....i'm married, have a full time career and a 1 year old little boy....i don't have the money to spend on an...

well Newegg is letting me return them....but i have to send back both since they came as a pair.....which kind of sucks.....i hope i have spare RAM sticks laying around that work that i can use on my motherboard while i wait for my new replacement sticks....

i did'nt leave it running but i will tonight when i get home for safe measure. the one thing that might have caused it is months ago i think i had a short somewhere in my case with and extra power cable was touching the metal case and made the whole comp shut down or for the CPU fan not...

DING! UPDATE: so i could'nt take it and went home for lunch. I also made a Memtest floppy before leaving work. Well i got home and took one stick of RAM out (of slot 2 and left the other in slot 1) and booted from my floppy. Pretty much right off the bat Memtest started adding up the errors...

^thanks for your input i'm hoping that it's just the HDD, if not i'll do the RAM thing.....i memtested those when i got them early last year and had no problems then....i guess something could have popped up though.

damn i hope it's not the RAM. I tried another brand new cable i had....same thing. I'm going to get a new HDD after work.....does anyone think that's a dumb idea or no? people on other forums have been telling me that they think the HDD has a bad sector or has died....does that sound right?

someone on another forum suggested that as well....i looked at the CD and it looks great, no scratches...just minor finger prints that i cleaned off....same thing happened again, same Line error....even tried to boot from a different drive and got the same thing.

i'm kind of noobish when it comes to this stuff.....but anyway the problem is i can't do anything else (or at least it does'nt give me the option) anything after it tells me that stuff about the Line error. There's no options on screen after that....do i need to press a certain key or something...

ok i got home and tried the Windows install disc repair. well i booted from my cd/dvd drive and i got to the part where it says: Press any key to boot from Cd.... did that and the next thing i see is this: Line 19894 of the INF file \i386\txtsetup.sif is invalid i have no clue...

the one problem i have is this. i have one other computer to use...an older Gateway that i believe has the old 24 big white ribbon connector for the motherboard.....and the hard drive that is "failing" is a SATA connection......anyway around this? i was going to put the SATA as a slave...

which is on the windows install disc correct? (sorry for noobie question, i've been out of the loop lately)

...i hate these kinds of mornings. I woke up this morning to my comp. being stuck at the screen where it says there was some sort of failure so it had to do an emergency shut down (the computer was working fine last night when I went to bed). It gives me the option for several different ways...

my point is....and the point of these posts is that we know that eventually the PC graphics will totally surpass the new consoles....but at what cost? do you have a family to raise?...if so....kudos for you to having that kind of extra money laying around to buy upgraded PC parts every 3-6...
