I'm looking for a budget PC to run a 1440p monitor. I think $600-800 is fair. It can be a whole system or a starting point. 1) CPU - 4core/6core 2) RAM - 16GB or more 3) GPU - Optional (I know its expensive, but i'll take a deal) 3) Air Cooler(water ok for quality AIO) 4) 1TB M.2. SSD...

My last build used an 8700k + 1080ti inside an M1case in 2018. There has been a lot of releases since 2018, that I dont know what is good anymore and am confused with AMD vs. Intel and the limitations with MicroATX motherboards. Maybe microATX isnt worth it for value? The goal of the system...

I upgraded from an old system with a 7970 to this new system with a 1080ti. I have 2 1440p monitors, an Acer 144hz and a dell 60hz. My dell has blurry text and when I open a youtube video to see on that monitor, the audio goes out of sync with the video. The video is faster than the audio...

I was not sure where to post this, but I figure this is where my question goes! Remove/delete if its not ok. I want a new PC system this summer due to HD failure, my 7970 not posting, 144hz gaming, and overal low system performance. My first choice was DAN's case but I cant hold 2 6TB 3.5"...

My 7970 bought here on [H]ardforum has bit the dust. It doesn't let me post in any of my 3 pcie slots. I'm currently running off a Radeon 5870. I'm looking for a used1080ti Does anyone have one ready to ship for $600. Lets make a deal as I am flexible My goal is to make a mini itx...

I bought a 6TB WD Black from Amazon a month ago and its a beast. I have 4TB free :) I was checking the other day and anyone can pick a used one up for $141.58 with prime shippping Is this a bad choice? Should i consider picking it up and using it for a backup? Should I stay away? I havent...

When I reformatted my SSD on PC2 and installed windows 10 w/ updates I then swapped it into PC1. PC1 sees the drive in the bios and when I choose to boot from it, it will POST successfully but after the DMI Pool message it gave me "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT DISK". I got my new 860EVO and with...

I have a huge obsidian 800D case. I wanted to try SFF systems after seeing people stuff 1080ti gaming systems in a tiny size that I can toss in some luggage and take with me. Am I mislead trying to stuff AIO cooling + 1080ti + 2 RAID 1 WD 3.5'' + 1 SSD boot/games into 1 SFF system that is...

I have been using HD595's for about 7+ years. This last pair has both plastic joints above the ear broken, so I have to tape them. The last pair had the same issue. I bought my nephew HD598's, and they look flimsy like the 595's. I've been waiting to purchase the HD650s, but now want to explore...

My old desktop has an ancient PCI Sound Blaster Recon and my nephew has on board audio. How can 10% global/master volume on my desktop be louder than his 20-30% global volume under the same test conditions? I use an old pair of HD 595's and I bought him a pair of HD 598's. The only difference...

I have had this U2711 for the past 6 years thanks to an [H] member and my nephew wants an upgrade from his 1080p. I am afraid that without having a 144hz IPS panel side by side I will not be able to discern a difference. For those of you upgrading from a great monitor with 60hz and moved on to...

I spilled some tea on my G502 and it went to shit. It worked for 10-20seconds after that while I cleaned up the mess. Then lights out and it gave up the ghost. Windows 7 still sees it as a Logitech mouse, and sometimes on restart or USB port change it will power on and work briefly. Currently...

I'm building a rig and like always, I want to see if there are any [H] members who have a surplus of goods. I know one of you is LinusTitanTips and has some paperweights to spare. I only need CPU: Pending Forum transaction or local pick up at the moment. CPU: i7 5820k...

My nephew is asking me to build him a PC that will run some Autodesk software he is using and video rendering that he is learning. Now, to be clear he is not a professional so he doesn't need expensive equipment. I'm trying to get him something under $2000 that will work well for a few years...

I've had my U2711 for 5 years and its about time I get a monitor mount. I feel that a Wall mount would be more secure than a desk mount. I know nothing about these and I find that Ergotron is very reputable and NewEgg has this for sale...

Looking at the time line of processors it seems that the 2011v3 socket is here to stay for another year and the best cpus are last years batch of 4/6 core variants. Is there any news on a new socket revision coming or new wave of processors this year? My i7 930 + 7970 is still going but I...

I bought this beast U2711 off [H] five years ago. The monitor is still very good with the only downsides being that the stand does not swivel and the back lighting really heats the room. However the color is amazing, the size perfect for gaming and general use, and at 0% brightness it still...

I have a 640GB HD and a first generation Crucial c300 120GB HD as my boot disk with 100GB partitioned. My Boot disk uses 90GB regularly and is of no concern as it still works better than a HDD even though it is noticeably slower than when I first bought it or last reformatted. I want help...

I purchased a Sapphire 7970 OC used 2 weeks ago and have stressed it while playing some BF3 (that game is full of probs) and it has performed just fine. It can handle the 1GHz speed, I've overclocked it to 1100/1525 without tinkering just to see what it can do. My problem is that even at...

I play at 2560x1440 and want to upgrade my 5870 for some better BF3 action. I wanted a GTX 670 with a custom cooler around $350-400 because from my knowledge It performs equally as good as a 7970 after slight OC. I could pick up a 7950 for cheaper but am hesitant because I cannot find how...

I am selling 2 LNiB MSI GTX 670 reference cards with warranty. REASON: Switching from my old AMD to this I reformatted my PC and upon returning everything to normal BF3 will not work for more than 15min due to a conflict with my on board Realtek drivers. I might as well sell these and not play...

I purchased GIGABYTE HD 5870 Super Overclock Edition here on [H] from jlqrb back in July and wanted to know what to price it at, 200-250? I'm only asking because i would like to upgrade to GTX 570's in SLI as my high resolution U2711 is raping me with settings maxed while playing Rift. I wont...

I have my i7 930 running fine with my cooler master v8 for the past 6 months at 3Ghz. I wanted to OC it on air, 4Ghz would be beast but i dont have my hopes up. 3.69 (168 x 22) Prime 95 was reading 78- 81 C 3.8 Ghz (19 x 200) i needed to up the voltage and in the end the temps were...

I have never sleeved a PSU before and decided to start with the 8 pin + 4 extension cable that came with my Obsidian 800D. I popped a few out with a staple but i managed to yank a few out that were not ready to be removed leaving the pin inside and the wire in my hand. This meant that i now...

I've been looking at this thread and seen some very nice LCD monitors and LCD TV's used as monitors. My question is this : What is the difference between a 30in LCD monitor and a 30in LCD HDTV? I'm looking into buying a large display at a later date and the 25.5in touch screen at Staples...
