I plan on upgrading my monitor not to far down the road. Figured I would just upgrade one and still use the other for my second monitor for my browsers/social media and such. I'm not very familiar with the coolers and didn't figure I need anything fancy as I am not overclocking but I will look...

The last pc I built, the one I am currently using, was in 2012 and I have not kept up on the current trends. My current hardware includes: Case – ATCS 840 G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-16GXM ASUS SABERTOOTH...

I would like to add 3 to 4 120mm fans in the optional fan positions in this case but have no clue on what to look for. I would like to add three for sure, the 2 that mount on the front of the hard drive cage and the one in the bottom of the case. The one for the exterior box I may not add but...

UPS delivered it last night. So far all I have done is disassembled it, then reassembled it. Will put everything in it tonight. I would of done it last night but then I would have been on my wifes not-so-good list for a while, so I chose to wait... Case is very sturdy, especially for such a...

After reading case reviews and forum posts over the last few days I think I have decided to stick with the same Case Line, just a wee bit bigger. The ATCS 840 just seems like an obvious choice, albeit overly large, but it seems like it can be a great case that will last for many years. Also...

Will post pics once I get my case situation complete. Currently using a very, very old CM ATCS 201. Love the case but really not meant for modern hardware....at least not without tools. So the whole set up is really messy at the moment... Leaning towards the Silverstone FT01B currently. I...

Just wanted to thank the people who responded to this thread and helped me out with some great information on upgrading my computer. Spent the weekend setting it up and messing around with the seemingly unlimited bios settings on this mother board. Ended up doing some very simple...

I am currently using a case I have had for a long time now, Coolermaster ATCS 201 http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=-129&type=expert . I just keep coming back to the simple yet sleek design of this case. The problem I have is, even though I love this case, it has become too outdated and a...

Thanks!

I really appreciate the input I have received. I ordered the following: G.Skill 4GB (2 x 2GB) x 2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231166 Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115017 Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P...

Cool, thanks for the info. The Q6600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16819115017 seemed to be popular as well. Not that I need the quad core but still seemed interesting especially if it was overclock friendly.

Is an i7 like was suggested @ 2.66GHz going to give me noticeable improvements over what I have if the main things I do, do not take advantage of the multiple cores? I'm pretty green on this stuff as of late, but about 70% of the time my pc is used to play WoW. I'm just curious if it would...

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am ok using my video card still and just upgradeing proc/mobo/ram. I just want to upgrade whatever will give me the biggest performance boost for the amount of money I can spend right now. Doesn't have to be cutting edge, but if it fits in the budget...

I guess I should of added that 99.9% of my gaming is World of Warcraft. When you play WoW you really don't have time to play anything else, well not if you still want to eat, sleep, breathe... I think my main bottleneck currently is my cpu, but I'm not totally sure. Adding another 8800 in...
