My goal was to make a very small HTPC mainly for old console emulators and to steam stream. I can install windows 7 for free since I have a license and I can also use ubuntu since I'm versed in that, and I also have a spare SSD I'm not using thats 250gbs. Not shown in the part picker is an 80...
Ok I did the Q and A, to preface I want to use this mainly to Game in my living room. I own the perephirals. I work in an office all day, and I want to be able to unwind at home and play my collection which ranges from indies to games like titanfall. I also want to be able to play music via usb...

There's enough benchmarks out there on this card, but I wanted to give my take and aska question. I have a slightly dated but still strong rig in my sig. I swapped out a GTX 570 with 1GB of VRAM so the difference was massive. I am still sitting here wondering if I should of went with a 780...

Right now I'm running a Qnix 27inch QX2710 and love it. I just upgraded to a gtx 780ti, and Im going to add another monitor to the mix. Except I'd like to be able to plug a macbook into this one. The Qnix wont work even with an adapter, which is fine, but time to time I need to open something...
My system is in my sig.
Im upgrading to a gtx780ti. Im having a hard time trying to figure out if I have enough wattage to push this thing. Right now I have a 630 watt PSU. I may also eventually upgrade to the top ivy bridge my MOBO can support eventually, but now that exact config plus...
Since I can keep the IRS off my ass with a 780ti due to the performance boost my freelance work will get (adobe) suite. Is it wise to stick that in this box? I know my cpu def needs an upgrade to an i7, but Im sure I will see a massive increase regardless. I was torn on the regular 780 but...
So trying to take in all the new information from AMD, and waiting to see what the 3rd parties do with cooling and fan solutions, along with the Nvidia price drops....also not to mention the bundles from Nvidia lead me to believethat it's maybe a mini waiting game? That may also be the longest...
I am an idiot. I bought this thinking it was the original game :rolleyes: but it was insanely false advertising. It costed 50. I can sell it for 30$. If anyone wants the origin code let me know. Thanks.

My current rig is a few years old, and my current video card is a GTX 570 with 1gb of mem.
I was thinking with the recent price cuts of getting at GTX 770. I'd like to be able to play BF4 and some newer games. Will my current system bottleneck performance to the point that it's not worth it...
I've been scouring the boards here for a while trying to decide what to do with my display situation. My current rig is in my sig. I am a video editor by trade, my work setup is 2 beautiful dell 27 inch sharp visions running on a mac pro. My at home setup is a dated Dell and aoc 21 inch in a...
This is a great shaver apparently, and I've been trying to get one for under 200$, this will come out to 155$ shipped. Says out of stock though but they will honor the price regardless.
I feel I have no idea where to tell this quick story, but I think you guys here will appreciate it a lot. I feel pretty old when I look at when my join date is, but now I'm 28. In high school I turned pc building, pc gaming, tweaking, overclocking, etc into a full time hobby. This site was...
I'm not trying to ignite a fanboy battle to the death here. My situation is basically that my xbox is chewing my games up. I absolutely love the system but after 3 repairs, its being a real problem. I know theres ways to remedy this, but my x box scratching games up until they're...

Looking to sell an Xbox 360 Premium
Details: Console itself in good condition. It seems to have the scratch up discs you put into it problem. In general every game I've played on it works. GTA IV is getting massacred inside it. Its a 99$ repair job, and I'm off warranty. Some people might...
So i've been using a macbook pro for a while, but I just switched over to HD editing for freelance work and I'm going to say. It's not hacking it at all. I've been thinking of selling my macbook pro, and upgrading. Can anyone help me justify the 1000$? I'm looking for better performance on...
So I need to pick up a 22 incher. I didn't want to deal with Black Friday, but Newegg has some interesting stuff.

Hey, my setup is in my sig. I do final cut editing, and accumulate a lot of media, so I'd like to have more storage than 120 gigs I got here. I've been out of the loop on things lately like this, so I'd like a recommendation for an external HD, preferably 500gigs-750. Thanks. :D
I just wanted to say that I've been a diehard windows users, like many, but made the conversion to a macbook pro. OS x has been flawless so far, and amazing. Spotlight, to me is one of the most intuitive and effective features in an operating system. PERIOD. I really bring this thread up...
I m not too keen on wireless mice, and im getting a macbook pro if it ever arrives in the mail. I cant use a trackpad...soo id like a nice mouse. Im leaning towards the wired mighty mouse but im hearing mixed reviews on it.. thanks.
Quickly what i want to do.
Light FCP editing, but still pretty good stuff. Im a full time avid editor, i want to brush up my FCP skills. I like to use aperture, photoshop, etc etc. Like design a lot. Games.. eh i got my 360. Like to write, surf the web etc.
The MBPS are simply amazing...
I just started running a film crew iwith friends from work, and Im an awful camera man so Im taking the editing upon me. Id probably prefer another program, but anyone familiar with NYC knows that everyone and their mother uses FCP, so using it makes life a lot easier.
For a long time ive...

Im on the cusp of purchasing a macbook (Just missed those refurbs at work today) but anyway I picked up an insignia HD tv for like 300$ (floor model ftw) - but anyway I had the brainstorm that maybe I can hook this thing right up to mac. Ive run it off my pc and its never been practical, but it...
Im about to order a refurb, and im wondering if the 20% off applies to these, i doubt it since education discounts dont, but curious none to less. thanks

Hey guys I decided that instead of getting the intel 2.4 duo, im going to go with this , because its half the price...and ive been pretty much diehard amd my whole life. I have a k6-2 450 mhz lying around somewhere. Anyway the intels are amazing and im not going to turn this into and intel vs...

I really really am diehard MSI fan. I have used their boards in my past 5 builds.. and honestly they rock. I have Oc'ed the most unclockable cards on them, and they never seem to drain much power. Anyway I digress.
