My system had NO problems prior to installing the SSD. Originally on M01 firmware. I used EaseUS Todo Backup to clone my system partition on my HDD to my SSD and set it as active. Trim is enabled. Everything is properly aligned. SMART is good. Drive and windows boots fine. Everything running...

I purchased a Sapphire Radeon HD 6970 2gb at the end of 2011 (for $193 - great deal) and never installed it because life sidetracked me. I am finally ready to get back into gaming and am wondering if I should sell this card now and upgrade to something newer. How much do you think I can get if I...

My friend is buying (or building) a new rig which I am sure he won't upgrade again for another 5 years. Chip is going to be i5 2500k with 8gb ram and z77 mobo and he is trying to decide on a video card to run at full HD resolution. He doesn't have as much time to play these days as he used to so...

My friend is building a HTPC and is looking for a good quality 2tb or preferably 3tb storage drive to keep his media. What is his best option for a drive these days? The STAY3000102 (which I heard contains a ST3000DM001 drive) is really cheap at $129.99 but the reviews on this model are poor...

My friend got a virus yesterday and had to reinstall windows. He is running an Intel Q6600 with a 9800 GT, 4gb ram, and a SSD. He said prior to the reinstall, his computer would play 1080p m2ts blu-ray rips flawlessly. After the reinstall we can't get them to work no matter what we do. Youtube...

I am finally getting around to building a new rig. The gfx card is the last piece of the puzzle. I have been out of the game for a LONG time since my last card melted down and I was too busy to play anymore to justify getting a new one. I don't need settings on ULTRA but I do want mid-high range...

I will be rocking a mildly overclocked i5 2500k with a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 mobo and 8 gb of G.SKILL Ripjaws Series DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL. I will also have 1 SSD and 1 Spinpoint F3 (perhaps 2 in the future.) I will have a blu-ray drive and most likely only 1 gaming video...

So I finally decided to build a new rig. I settled on the i5 2500k which I plan to gently OC and am now trying to find a suitable Z68 mobo. If I buy a combo at Microcenter, I can get the 2500k and Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 for $300. If I buy the chip alone it is $180 plus whatever Mobo I get...

I am looking for a < $200 23" - 24" monitor for gaming and general internet use. Is there anything of good quality for that price? It seems like the market is flooded these days. I would really like to spend about $150 but will go higher if necessary for substantial quality gains. Any help would...

The other day I went to turn on my LCD and the screen came on for about 1 second then went black. The green power light is staying lit but nothing is on the screen. If I turn off the power and then on again the screen comes back for 1 second then black again. I did a quick web search and this is...

I am looking for some ram for my p5nSLI. I found some OCZ2G8002GK at a good price but many others have reported problems with this ram. The ram is supposed to run at 2v which the p5nSLI can handle. Does anyone know firsthand if this ram is compatible with this mobo?

I am building my friend a new gaming rig for his wedding. He is NOT going to be overclocking the machine but he will be using it for serious gaming. I am throwing in an e6600, 1gb of 667 mhz ram (don't need 800 do I?), 1 MSI x1900XTX, 1 PCI Soundblaster Audigy2, 1 300gb SATA 300 HD, and 2 DVD...
