Right now I have a 64GB Agility 2 I use as my boot drive (and WOW) My main drive after that is a WD6400AAKS (WD 640GB Blue) At the time, the blue 640gb was one of the faster drives. Lately I've been thinking of grabbing another 500-1tb drive incase my blue goes out. Seeing as prices are...

For those who missed it in their email etc Newegg has the PC power and cooling 910W Power supply for $119.99 after MIR and Promo code. Seems like a decent deal...

I recently built my girlfriend a new computer and am in the middle of talking her into a new monitor. She currently uses my old Hyundai L90D+ (4:3, 19") I looked around on the Egg but am also considering Microcenter as it's very close and seems to sell some "ok" monitors. Anyway, her budget...

Curious what temps other people get at stock with this thing? (idle and load) Also, what do you keep your fan speed at? I recently bought the MSI 470 (Black friday deal) and at idle it seems go between 47-55c. I have about 6 main fans in my case and have them facing the correct ways etc. So...

Asking for a friend. She currently games at 1600x900 She is looking to upgrade from her 9600GT and has about $150. I suggested a gtx 460, and I know if she is lucky she can snag a 1gb model for around that, but should she just go with a 768mb model instead?

Dissapointed I missed the PNY 460 for $150 after MIR. The 5870, after a lot of thought is too much power for my current build. Also, $65 more than what the 460 was. I've considered trying to find a 460 or 6850 at $150-160 and Ocing it close to a 470 performance. But, does anyone think...

Wanting to upgrade from my MSI 4850 512mb. Don't plan to use this system more than another year or two but want to at least upgrade my card as it will probably be a hand me down. I game at 1900x1200 in most everything, and I especially want to in newer games. Lemme know if you have seen...

So my G1 has recently hit the crapper. Usually only stays on if I don't browse/call anyone. Regardless, I am illegible for a full upgrade. I've been reading around for a while and am torn between the: G2, Mytouch G4, HTC HD7 and the Samsung Vibrant. All seem to be great phones. I guess I just...

MW2 was ok, but BC2 was a lot more fun to me. Hesitant to dish out another $60 for a CoD game. Anyone fill me in?

I know newegg has that %10 off deal atm, Considering doing it with the sapphire 6850 and OCing the card. I had originally planned on the 6870 but, would rather just OC a 6850 for the price. Anyway, should I jump on it for $170 or wait until christmas/after christmas? Will prices even...

I noticed Microcenter has the Palit 470 that comes down to $230 with rebate. I live near one of these and was wondering if I should jump on that or grab a 6870? I know the 470 Oc's better but I'm not sure I'd OC either.

I've been waiting a while to see what amd had coming. It seems they are decent, but should I upgrade now or wait? My specs are as follows: Asus P5Q Pro Q6600 @ 3.4Ghz 4Gb Memory WD 6400AAKS ATI 4850 (512Mb) Corsair 650tx I suppose it's the right time to upgrade considering by the time a newer...

For general gaming what do you think is better and why? I already own the G500 and like it, but the Rat 7 caught my eye today at work. I read about it for maybe 5 minutes and saw some negative reviews regarding the laser acting up. Anyone comment about either or own both?

The on board is Realtek ALC1200. Is it worth buying a separate sound card for logitech z2300's or something similar?

Considering buying a used Evga 295 from a friend at work. Will my PSU support it or will it be too close? If it's too close I won't consider it, was just curious if it would as he mentioned he was selling it. Starting to think it won't be enough to support it with my OC. My specs are as...

Considering a PSU upgrade to power a newer video card but am unsure what to aim for. I wanted a 460 or possibly the newer Amd's comign out, but don't want to risk powering it with my current PSU, a corsair vx450. My specs are as follows: Asus P5Q Pro Q6600 @ 3.4Ghz 4Gb Memory WD...

Considering a 460 but wasn't sure if my system can handle it. All of the 1gb models even the superclocked models show a minimum of a 450watt PSU with 24amps on the +12v. If I went for one it would most likely be one of the superclocked EVGA or MSI models. My PSU has 33amps on the +12v. Just...

Currently I have an MSI 4850 512DDR3. I play most if not all games at 1900x1200. My concern is future games with this video card at this resolution. I play on a larger monitor so the lowest I go on some games is one resolution under. The Sparkle is currently $166 at Microcenter. What I'm not...

Does anyone notice this? Supposedly it's more noticeable with slower movements? My friend pointed out an issue people have been reporting with either of those mice, pertaining to the laser they use as well as a few other mice. Here is a link...

Since I bought this new monitor I've run most games at 1900x1200 with medium settings, and occasionally 1680x1050. They include, WOW, EQ2, BFBC2, TF2, Heroes of Newerth, etc. They all seem to run smoothly and I get 50-60 FPS in all of them. (yes I like Vsync, sometimes AA) My question...

Trying to help a friend find a decent motherboard for an I7 930. Any suggestions? I skimmed over Newegg and saw a few Asus ones as top rated. I'm thinking he is looking around the $200 range, maybe a bit more or less. Also, i know this isn't the place to ask but maybe someone could throw in...

This is probably the wrong section for this but I think it is also the best place for an answer to it. I recently installed RivaTuner for the Override options. I wanted to force Vsync and Triple buffering for Bad Company 2 since i get screen tearing no matter where I enable vsync. I...

Has anyone used Ati tray tools successfully within windows 7 64bit without any additional bypassing etc? I remember trying it around the time Windows 7 came out but had to run a second program in "test mode" for it to work to bypass driver signing. Also, It wasn't very stable and I had a...

I'm wanting to buy a newer FPS to play with some friends but can't decide which to go with. I tried Modern Warfare 2 over the weekend and thought it was decent (having not played COD in at least 4 years) Battle field on the other hand I have yet to play. Any suggestions? Possibly different...

I don't need a ton of room but I'd like a decent external for $50-60. Skimming newegg/amazon I see there is a recertified Western Digital 250GB Passport (blue) for $50, and a recertified black one for $50 also. Not sure if I should trust recertified hard drives. I like WD along with...

I know to leave windows sensitivity at 6/11, but I'm wondering if setpoint sensitivity is separate? Can I change it and it won't affect windows sensitivity or should I leave it at default also? I know this sounds like a dumb question and it very well may be, but I'm not sure what games...

Ok, so I've spent a good portion of the day researching the G9 after seeing it was only $45 at Bestbuy (online only) I have a $25 Bestbuy gift card and I haven't seen much else I want. I guess my main questions are... Has anyone used it after using a Razer Copperhead or any razer mouse? If...

Basically I'm wondering if anyone that was/is running a stable overclock has had any issues going from vista 32/64 to windows 7 32/64? I've had one BSOD, and from what I can tell it's not my overclock but probably a driver. I've run the same Overclock for close to year now, and even ran...

I missed out on the pre-order deal so I am faced with an issue... Do I spend 100-120$ to upgrade from Vista to 7 now, or do I wait 6months-1yr and hope the upgrade price goes down and get it then? My PC handles Vista fine, but if there is honestly a noticeable performance boost I'd switch...

I don't much care for CRT's anymore as I don't play as many FPS. I mainly play MMORPG's and I'm wondering what type of LCD to aim for. I was looking at this but have no idea what to look at in a monitor anymore. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254026 What I looked at...

So I don't plan to get one asap, but I have been looking at them since prices have dropped. (using a Hyundai 19" imagequest from 4yrs ago if that matters, looking for an upgrade from this) One I'm particularly curious about are these asus monitors. Do they make good monitors for gaming? Or...

I was upgrading from 8.12 drivers to 9.4 drivers last night and during the restart it wouldn't actually restart. It would hang on the shutdown screen. I then manually restarted using the tower button only to find my bios settings had been set to default. I am using the following: P5Q...

Not sure if this really applies to these forums but I'm in the search for a new TV. My Budget is about $900, I'd like a known brand, around 40-42" and a contrast ratio of around 30,000 Digital. Any suggestions? I saw a nice Samsung 40" on amazon for 930$ but I'm not sure how good it is or...

I know 1:1 is better but here is my question. I've had my Q6600 Oc'd to 3.4 at 1.34v for a little over 3 months. It's all stable, I've run Prime95 for 10hrs+ and over 100 cycles of intel burn test. Not that I had to mention that but here is my main question. My options for memory are to...

Basically what happens is my G11 lights turn off, my keyboard is non functional for about 5-10seconds and then the lights come back on and there is a small delay before the keys work again. I'm using the latest drivers. I know for a fact it's not my USB ports, I've tried several of them...

I'm running 1306 bios atm. Wondering if I should flash it to something newer? I have my Q6600 OC'd to 3.4 and I'd hate to reset everything. I can't remember if settings like that save or if I should even bother flashing it?

I've had my new logitech G11 keyboard for 4 days now. So far I have noticed this problem twice at random. What basically happens is I'm playing WOW, and all of the sudden the LEDs turn off and I can't move, then come back on and I can. It's a total of about 5 seconds when this happens...

I have about 20$ to spend. I was looking at either the Logitech USB microphone to use along side of my sennheiser HD280 Pro's or the plantronics gamecom1 headset. Any suggestions between those two or something otherwise in my price range? I was leaning towards the microphone because I'm...

I have a budget of about 20-25$. Both me and my gf want a gaming headset. Nothing fancy, just something to get us by playing WOW and other various FPS along with skype chats etc. Anyone recommend anything? I had my eyes set on the Plantronics Gamecom1 but, the reviews seem to be mixed...

basically, I want to get a gaming mousepad for my girlfriends dad and I'm not sure what to get. I want to spend under 10$, the only real option I see is steelseries Qck. Any other suggestions? I'd like the total + shipping to be 15$ or less if possible. Somehow need it shipped before...
