I'm fine with 16Gigs, might still upgrade to windows 8 anyways though. Edited to reflect the changes, just gonna see if any promos pop up this week, if not this is the build im going with. Thank you very much Danny you're awesome

i don't need thunderbolt as a feature, but i have a friend who has been using it and vouched for it's stability. i trust him to an extent, plus i've had to deal with MSI customer service and they were impeccable with me. If you have a solid recommendation I'll gladly take it :) home premium...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc heavy gaming and browsing, 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? CAD$1300 i'd prefer to keep it below 1200. shipped and taxed. 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and...

so jusdging by all the replies no one knows how to solve this XD, good news i figured it out, so pay attention if you have this problem. take out the CMOS battery, and reboot. lol turns out windows 7 had messed up hibernation file and it won't boot unless you reset the command. all's well...

Basically i accidentally pressed the sleep button on the keyboard ( RAGE ) and the PC went to sleep mode, i clicked it a couple times, and the pc woke up, but the monitor didn't. I proceeded to power the pc down and restart it, and now it won't post and the monitor still won't wake up. I...

use the money you'll save on getting any of the other mobos referred to you by danny, and buy a really nice shiny new case. the rampage is blatantly overpriced. that and asus has a horrendous RMA policy and costumer service. considering you want the best you can get for your money, I...

to think when we are seniors they will be our presidents and doctors... sigh... apocalypse is inevitable after all

it seems like it, but i am always a bit tentative on getting amd mobos, but i guess ill support the underdog on this one. edit: ok i went out shopping today, kind of disappointed, :( only got the gtx260 next week ill get the rest, and ill just set the 260 on my current build

system bought and built. in sig.

this is a great idea with a lot of potential, but will require a lot of work ^ ^ so thanks for doing the heavy lifting. when possible please look into adding CA retailers/ Etailers like www.infonec.ca again thank you for contributing, this could prove to be a priceless tool in making and...

I'm glad to see at least one other person laughed at this. ridiculous

This is plausible but only for a class like 9th grade economics, because WoW does help teach in a very hands on way, the twists and turns of a basic economy and in doing so compels the students to think ahead and out smart the market, BUT this being a class in any university is just ridiculous.

and then I will quote his list ( change the q9550 to Q6600) rant on about OCing and call for DannyBui to come here and explain every mobo option imaginable. and then HG will come with a new completely different build and we will all agree with him, but saying that it really depends on your...

XXDDD

wow i feel like danny now, but he is right please answer these questions when asking for help on a build, we can help you alot more, if we know all of these things. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? 3) Where do you live? 4) What exact parts do you need for that budget...

Don't get the e8500 it is a waste, get the E8400 or the Q6600. as for not taking advantage of the multi-threading performance, you will benefit greatly, because even though each individual app might not take advantage the collective whole will, letting you run more apps at the same time without...

youtube is the new google, go there you're bound to find at least one guide for every piece

and personally i agree with your choice

in case the sarcasm of this LOL... by xdivenx was lost on you, I will clarify: newegg.ca has been available for quite some time now and this isn't a new development in any way shape or form making your thread a complete and udder waste of everyone's time. Please check your information before...

makes sense, and i totally agree on the upgrade path notion, but 2 260's for the price of one 280 is very tempting especially if OP doesn't go 30", but goes higher than 24" I am lazy and forgetful at the moment, anyone remember how 2 260s compared to the 4870x2

momentary lapse of memory, I forgot this was [H] ;)

AWAAAHHHH, 260s are at $200. take the 260s in SLi GREAT bargain. @ silent-circuit: please elaborate on why you don't Sli top of the top cards. Not a stab at you, i actually would like to know.

BIGGEST notice, please listen to at least the part in HG post where he suggests a 920 i7 the 960 EE is not worth the price difference at all. also switch out those 2 gtx 280, that is overkill, one 4870x2 will do, actually one 280 will do, for a 24" ( actually one 4870x2 is overkill for a 24"...

this was so epic. great laugh. as for the price range, even though canadian dollar is fluctuating, the prices not including the exchange rate are different in canada and some combos that are available in US (newegg fo rexample) aren't available in canada, So it is convenient to post your...

your fine with either case:p. I personally feel with an OC monster on your hands ( I.E 8400) i would stretch the budget just a bit, to have the extra playroom, but Danny is right, if you don't want to OC THAT high or don't want or can't stretch the budget the 800 ddr2 G skill is Highly...

try these G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 RED $54.99 as for case RAIDMAX SMILODON Extreme Black ATX $79.99 ($40 MIR)

and HG drops the bomb +1 for everything great deals

from what i have seen online PC parts in india are scarce and underdeveloped, if you can find the parts listed by tiraides locally great, but i don't imagine them being cheap, seeing as the 8800gt is at 14200Rs ( indian rupees) or $284 roughly

no problem, plus i would make sure he either goes 20" or 24", not 22". (notice the size increases on the booms and kabooms) XD

+1 for gateway, pre-builts are mainly bought for 3 reasons they are hassle free, working quality guarantee, and their customer support, Cyberpower offers non. ( matrix go back to general hardware :p) (:eek: is that a 37inch screen i see there) sorry for off topic

that looks like a great deal actually, wow OOH ok, and here i thought this was a PC model FS. it's practically a home built PC though that is a loop hole, since it is technically pre-built :D so in that pre built system i would choose 6GB tri slot since that's what is best supported by...

lol like my new technique to beat HG and danny ? post small correction then edit the hell out of your post XD. so yea basically he said what i said ( since i said it first :D) +1 on HG build he is right on gtx 260 as well, i forgot that.:p although you could go with the 512MB 4870 and be...

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB $69.99 I swear by this HDD. I have recommended this to many and I am not alone, this HDD is FAST, Spacious and Cheap. We MUST know what resolutions your gaming at, and size of your screen please. Also, no no on the case i recommend the Antec...

you already bought it? if so, it's too late :(

thanks for taking one for the team, i know it hurts. sorry to hear about the HDD. :(

22" is not the way to go, either go 24 or 20,

WAIIIIIT no one old him he needs to upgrade his mobo and cpu, how dare you guys say you're [H]ardcore, when you see someone willing to be a guinea pig to see how another x58 board and i7 work, and don't take advantage of that. I want answers, pics, and benchmarks. now more seriously, well...

bump for Eclypse selling you a game. (maybe)

bump

definitely go with this Ram instead G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 $44.99 it's cheaper and more reliable. If your looking to save you can also go with this GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX $102.99 but maybe Danny will pass by here with his list if he doesn't ill go get it...
