    GPU upgrade? PS okay?

    Thanks for the advice guys. I did decide to spend a bit more and got the 8gb 480 for $210 rather than the 3gb 1060 for $170. I think in the long run the extra ram will be nice, and it was only $40. Nabbed a 5gb hard drive since the deal at newegg was pretty good while I was at it. My PSU isn't...

    Budget Build for Father-in-Law

    Should've jumped on the cyberpower item at newegg sooner I guess, price jumped up by $90. :(

    Budget Build for Father-in-Law

    So I actually posted this a while ago, wound up fixing his PC for the time being and we got him something else. The PC finally bit the dust a few days ago, so my wife and I are going to replace it for him as a Father's Day/Birthday gift. My main concern up front is: is it even worth building...

    FS: PS Plus 1 Yr Membership

    Went to Best Buy a little while ago to buy a 1 year membership to extend my PS Plus, not realizing it would renew automatically. Waited too long to return it, so here we are. Asking $40.

    Budget Build for Father-in-Law

    It's not that far. And yes, we're going to be hammered. I won't be going to that MicroCenter for the next couple days at least. It will be fine by this weekend. I guess very old isn't terribly accurate. So he had "a guy" that he would go to for computer related stuff and the machine has had...

    Budget Build for Father-in-Law

    So my Father-in-Law's very old computer is crapping out, and I wanted to surprise him with a new one. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc It should all be very light usage. Email, web browsing, maybe some occasional work from the office on Access or...

    WTB Decent Video Card ~$60

    Looking to buy a video card for my little brother to improve his gaming performance, he tries to game at home on an 8800 GTS :p. Thinking something like a 5850, 6850, 7770, 7790, 650 TI, 560 TI, 560. I'm flexible on the price, but I would like to stay near $60 or a bit more. In addition to...

    Upgrade/Replacement for Family

    Makes sense. I was considering handing down my 6870 to him and upgrading to something else myself. In that case I'd need a different power supply since this one only has 1 6-pin connector, right?

    Only 430w? (my grasp on power supplies is, admittedly, not great).

    Upgrade/Replacement for Family

    Thanks for the help guys: Dad has nixed spending the extra money on a new video card, so I'll have to decide if I like my brother enough to get him one with my own money. I think I'm going to go with the following: Intel Core i3-3245 CPU + Asus P8H61-M LE/CSM Crucial Ballistix 8gb...

    Upgrade/Replacement for Family

    Decided to solicit some opinions here, as I can't decide which route to go. Dad/brother currently share a computer, but the motherboard just died. I'm not sure if it was a problem with the power supply voltages (a 500w Fortron Blue Storm PSU), though it isn't dead, but I happen to have an...

    FS Verizon iPhone 4S 16GB Black

    As I expected, the phone has already sold on Swappa for $240 to me (buyer pays more due to Swappa's fees). I'll close the thread once the transaction is final.

    FS Verizon iPhone 4S 16GB Black

    Bump Please note that this is a 4S, not an iPhone 4, which is why the price is in the $250+ range, rather than the sub $175 range.

    Bump. Once my new phone comes in I'll probably throw the iPhone on Swappa and give that a try, so make me an offer.

    FS Verizon iPhone 4S 16GB Black

    Phone upgrade time is here again. Just ordered myself a Galaxy S4, so I've got my current iPhone up for sale. It's a Verizon 16GB Black 4S. The back has no scratches that I can see, it's been in a case covering the back and sides pretty much since I got it. There are some VERY minor...

    Indeed I am. There's an issue with creative sound cards? Wouldn't that affect a majority of people playing the game?

    Already tried that, still acting up. Maybe I'll try a 3rd cable in the unlikely event I replaced a bad cable with a bad cable.

    But that isn't the drive that has been problematic to read or intermittently not appearing in the bios. I've had no noticeable problems with the Samsung drive.

    Hard Drive Failing...Sometimes?

    So recently I noticed that my computer was taking quite a long time to start about half the time when I powered it on. When I finally did get into windows, accessing 1 of my 5 drives would always cause the computer to hang. Occasionally, that drive would not even show up in the bios or windows...
