So I'd like to do some more PC gaming but my system is getting kind of dated. Current specs: Asus p8p67 2500k 2x4 gb ddr3 Xfx 6870 Corsair tx 650w Psu Crucial 128gb m4 Gaming on a 22" dell at 1680x1050 Gaming includes things like WoW, dota2, and hopefully some newer titles like doom, maybe...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Well, I just started experiencing this on my system. System will randomly freeze, and when I reboot my SSD (Crucial M4 128gb which I've had since October) is not showing up in the BIOS and thus I get a "the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible" message. If I restart...

A little while ago my computer started, randomly and fairly rarely, BSOD'ing. Didn't think much of it, and the BSODs stopped. Instead, though, now I get random freezes or "hangups" for 30-45 seconds such as, for example, when I try to do simple things like open Chrome. The freezes are becoming...

Looking to buy an iPad for the fiancee. Either generation works, probably looking for either a 16gb or 32gb depending on price. Shoot me a pm letting me know the generation, size, and your asking price and maybe we can work something out. Edit: I'm looking for a wifi only version.

At Amazon. 3rd Party Seller has some crappy reviews lately because of poor inventory management, but worst case scenario you wind up not getting the drive and you get a refund. http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Elements-Desktop-External/dp/B002QEBMBY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1316141080&sr=8-4

Apparently, my gmail account is sending out spam - a friend alerted me to getting weird messages from me and, checking my gmail spam folder, I have a handful of Delivery Failure notifications. Message consists only of a weird link. My Father's email appears to be doing the same thing and...

I posted this a while ago and lost track of it, so I'm putting it back up now. I'm putting up my Nikon D90 for sale. It's a US version, bought from B&H Photo in May of last year. Only has about 200 pictures taken at my future sister-in-law's college graduation. I thought I would have more free...

Minor annoyance, but it got me curious. Received new Samsung 2tb hd. Removed old 400g hd (drive H). Install new hd. Can't pick letter H as assignment. Any way to do this without reattaching the old drive, changing the letter to something else, then hooking up the new one again?

Aside p8p67 2500k 2x4 g skill ripjaws 1333 Xfx 6870 Corsair 650w Psu Turns on, memory light says on. I hold it down, it blinks for a bit as it tries to configure, view back to solid red. Tried with both sticks in, then just one (tried both in both dimm a slots).24 pin atx and both 4 pins (in...

1) PC will be used primarily for gaming, movie-watching, and other everyday activities like web browsing. 2) I'll spend on what I feel is good bang for the buck, but let's set a hard limit of $900. 3) I live in NJ. 4) CPU, CPU heatsink/fan, Motherboard, RAM, video card, possibly a SSD (not...

I've had this problem on and off with Left 4 Dead 2, eventually giving up on trying to fix it and moving on to other games. Someone got me Starcraft 2 for Christmas, though, and I was chugging along and it happened again during one of the video cutscenes. Essentially, the games freezes, any...

Tried to install Steam on my family's computer for my little brother because my mom bought him Left 4 Dead. Download the msi file, run it, it installs, fabulous. Try to start steam, and I get "Error: Failed to Create Key" when it start up. Super. Tried to uninstall then reinstall, tried repair...

I'm putting up my Nikon D90 for sale. It's a US version, bought from B&H Photo in May. Only has about 200 pictures taken at my future sister-in-law's college graduation. I thought I would have more free time, but with my now slightly longer work hours, commute, and the time I spend studying...

Just picked up my HTC Incredible at the FedEx facility, and I'm enjoying so far. I do have a question though. I have couple bookmarks on one of my home screens for website I visit often. The icon is the generic bookmark icon with a very small icon from the site. Is there a way to change the icon...

I'm looking to switch back to Verizon and pick up the HTC Incredible, so I'm selling my 3gs. Phone is great, I'm only switching because I've recently changed my train commute and AT&T reception is poor in the areas along the new route (and also not that great in my office). I checked eBay and...

So right now I'm running an [email protected] with 2gb of RAM, and noticedmy system maxing out on RAM while playing the Starcraft 2 beta. I don't really feel like doing a full Mobo/CPU/RAM upgrade right now, as the system works well enough for me for the time being. In all likelihood, I may do that...

So, I was really in the mood for Warcraft 3 yesterday. It's an old game but it still holds my interest. I figured it would look even nice on my 22" widescreen Dell that I recently picked up. Wrong! No widescreen support (wtf). So, I'm left wanting some RTS action, but know nothing about recent...

Just saw this on the WSJ. Apparently, the Verizon ETF will double, going from $175 to $350, for smartphone users.

So, I just passed one of my professional exams, and decided I should buy myself a little congratulations gift with a small part of the raise/bonus I'll be receiving. Not knowing which to choose, it's up to you guys to decide for me. Here's what I'm currently using: The Monitor - Currently a...

I'm looking to switch over to the iPhone, so I wanted to sell my Storm to defray the costs of my ETF from Verizon and the new phone from AT&T. Looking to get $200 shipped (continental US only please). Phone has been used for a few months, no scratches or blemishes whatsoever.

Defrag froze earlier for quite some time, so I ended the process (horrible move I'm thinking). Now my 1tb WD Caviar Black is showing up as a 32mb drive. I tried a program called HDD Restore Capacity to no avail. Suggestions?

Corsair 400CX Not bad for people looking for a cheap 400W PSU. Price is $30 after MIR if you don't mind the MIR.

So, I've been itching to do some form of upgrade to my pc. The two upgrade I'm considering, for the time being, are pretty incremental. Go from 2gb of RAM to 4gb Upgrade my processor to a faster quad from my e6400. RAM is fairly cheap at the moment, and I could grab a 4gb kit for around...

My girlfriend is back at school pursuing her Master's degree and decided she needs to get a new laptop. Right now, she has a Toshiba Satellite a75, which hasn't held up as well as it should have (plus it's bloated with all of Toshiba's software). So, she asked me to help her pick a new one...

Wanted to get a new hard drive for storage, and am between the Samsung Spinpoint F1 1tb or the WD black 1tb. The Samsung is a good $20 cheaper. Opinions? How does the Samsung's speeds hold up to the WD Black? Edit: I know there's always Seagate as well, so any opinions on a 1tb drive are...

Drive is primarily just for storage. Is the black version worth the extra $15 or so?

So, RAM has become so ludicrously cheap, I'm wondering if it's worth it to drop $45 and get 4gb instead of the 2gb I already have. Thoughts?

Around Christmas I'll be moving up to a nice 22" LCD, and decided I want to go back and play all those nice FPS games (that I either played earlier on a crappier screen or put off playing til I had a newer video card.) Any recommendations? Let's stick to games from the past ~4 or 5 years...

Quick question. Currently, I'm still using my university email for the forums. Unfortunately, having graduated, my account will probably be deactivated shortly, probably within the next couple months at the most. Being unable to switch my profile to my gmail account (the ban on free, public...

Just got the "sneak peak" email from newegg. So a heads up to anyone who's looking for a case, the antec nine hundred will be $59.99 @ newegg on 11/26 with free shipping. Email indicates after instant rebates and/or MIR, so be aware that there may be a MIR involved.

Just saw the input lag graph on digital versus, has me a bit worried about my potential purchase. Can anyone offer opinions or, even better, other input lag tests that show the lag to be much less than what they're claiming (especially considering my other choice, the G2400WD, has less input...
