    Getting back to PC gaming

    Thanks Danny Bui. I haven't looked at the combo deals quite yet, Newegg wishlists don't let you load combo's into them but I did see that. Thanks for the heads up though. I didn't know that about the RAM, and I only picked that particular DDR3 1600 because it was on the mobo's compatibility...

    Getting back to PC gaming

    I had the 650 originally chosen, but I was hoping to pick a PSU first time around that would allow me to upgrade into an SLI setup further down the road without buying a new one. Do you think either of those, the 650 or 750, would be able to power 2 x GTX 570s? I could spend a bit more for a...

    "Not Enough Free Space" with 859GB avail....

    I just bought a WD 'My Book' external HDD. It's the terabyte model with a USB connection and my intent was to use it to store DVDs on it so I don't need to have disks around. I ripped some DVDs to my desktop using DVD Decryptor into .VOB files of about 4 gb's in size each. I have plenty of space...

    Odd RROD question...

    So I've got a 360 here. Had it for about 2 years and now its starting to break. I'll turn it on and the picture is very glossy, its hard to describe. But eventually after this the picture will go out completely and there will just be sound. This happened once before and in a last ditch attempt I...

    I just got a 360 and want to get it set up with Live. I've got a wireless network set up at my house with WEP encryption and a MAC address permissions list. Hardwiring the 360 sadly isn't an option right now and I was wondering what my options for connecting it wirelessly are. I don't really...

    Using big HDTV as a monitor

    Well. I use the ATI Catalyst Center to configure the video card to run at an optimized resolution for 480 or 1080 so i dont have to scroll to the sides or up and down. If I use 480, it sets it to like 640x438 or something close to that, it's lower than 640x480. I can set it to 1080 and then it...

    Gaming on a TV

    I was just asked to build a computer for my neighbor who wants to use their computer on a 60" Projection TV.

    Hi, I built a system about a year ago, an AMD s754, and i had been using one of those really old powerbars that has the 3 button switch that sits on your desk and you can turn off power to all but 1 of the plugs with it. I recently got a new desk and of course, had to upgrade my dated powerbar...

    Logitech G7 & G5 Gaming Mice.....D*&^%N!!!

    Well, i dont think it will actually retail at 100, the mx510 says 50 and you can find that for about 30 easily. But however much it ends up being is still pretty expensive for a mouse. The keyboard looks pretty sweet though.
