Alright. I've finally had the opportunity to do the research and piece together a build. Intel Pentium G3258 - $70.99 ASRock H97M PRO4 - $109.99 with $25 MIR Corsair CX430W - $39.98 with $20 MIR Radeon R7 260X - $129.99 with $10 MIR Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM - $54.99 Kingston...

He's actually using a 22" 1680x1050 monitor. He's not planning to upgrade it any time soon, as it does the job for him. The games he plays tend to be all over the place. FF14, CS:GO and DOTA 2 are titles I know he has played more recently. I would not be surprised if he plays a game like BF4...

I've typically stuck with NCIX in the past. He tends to play quite a different array of games (DOTA, MMOs, different FPS). I'm very certain he will be using 1600x900 for this build.

My cousin recently had a laptop die and was looking to get a PC. I told him I'd help him with it, but I've been out of the loop on hardware for a while. I looked at a cheap pre-built with the intention of adding a low-mid end GPU. However, it had a Pentium J2900 which didn't look very promising...

Does anyone know if the Accelero would fit on a non-reference XFX card? I had one on a reference card, but had to RMA it. I've tried looking online, but haven't been able to find a clear answer. Thanks.

I've tried reseating the card, as well as putting it in another PCI-E slot to no avail. It does make me think something went wrong with the card, but maybe I missed something obvious.

I was using my 7970 with an Accelero Xtreme for about a week after I installed it. However, it started to overheat, so I took a look at it. A screw on the backplate seemed to be loose, so I tightened all 4 of the screws. However, after putting it back in, I get no picture, though the PC seems to...

I recently installed an Accelero Extreme on my reference 7970, which went pretty smoothly. The temps looked fine, and I left it as it was. However, I noticed the temperatures got higher about a week or so later. I realized this when the PC would shut down during gaming quickly. I took the...

Seasonic is easily one of the most trusted and high quality power supply makers. That is why I like them.

I've been running an XFX 7970 Core Edition for a little over a month. This is coming from crossfire 6950s @ 1536 shaders. I've noticed it seems noticeably louder than the crossfire setup. There is also random major screen tearing in games, which requires a restart to fix. Are these...

I'm trying to connect my U2311h to my PS3 and XBOX 360 using a DVI to HDMI cable. Whenever I turn on the console, the monitor goes into power saving mode. I've tried resetting the video settings on the console as well as a different cable and neither did anything. I used to use DVI for my PC...

I'd love to have the a high end Galaxy card.

I wouldn't mind trying a Galaxy product for once. Thanks.

Alright, I managed to figure it out. I could not access the drive to change the RAID settings on it, as it would not POST with the drive connected. However, I swapped it with the SATA cable from the other drive that was in the array. This let it boot up. I formatted it within Windows and...

I upgraded a PC of mine recently which was running RAID 0 from the motherboard. I forgot to format the driver before moving them to the new motherboard. I was able to format one of the drivers. However, the other one is detected but will not get past the splash screen when booting up. If I...

Wouldn't mind trying one of these. Can't go wrong with Galaxy.

Hey - I recently added a 120gb Vertex 2 to my system. However, after booting back up, I noticed my internet would keep disconnecting. I would have turn the connection off and on again through the network connections page. I reformatted, as I was planning to regardless. However, it did not fix...

Hey, I recently upgraded my laptop's SSD from a Vertex 2 120gb to 240gb, so this left me with the 120gb to put into my PC. However, I decided I should format my PC, as there are some issues I've been having. Before the 120gb, my configuration was this: x25-m 80GB - Boot/Small applications...

Last few cards have been XFX - double lifetime is too good!

I do like the design for a mini water cooling kit.

Thanks, I downloaded PartedMagic and used Gparted which worked. I would have expected Windows 7 to let me expand it, but I looked it up earlier and apparently it does not allow you to for some reason. Trying it of course verified this.

Hey - so I just upgraded my Vertex 2 120gb in my laptop to a 240gb Vertex 2. I transferred everything over using the Windows 7 built in backup tool. However, I noticed it makes a partition equivalent to the old 120gb. This leaves me with another 120gb blank partition. I realized the management...

Hey, so I currently have a 120gb Vertex 2 in my laptop. However, I find it a bit cramped, so I'm thinking of upgrading to a 240gb Vertex 2. On ++++, it is $390 - 30 MIR and includes a $20 gift card. I know the Vertex 3 is coming/here, but my laptop doesn't do SATA III and there is a pretty...

Hey, so I bought two 6950s. Turns out one unlocks to 6970 speeds fine, but the other only does shaders. When I tried crossfiring them together like this, the crossfire button was blanked out. When I flash both to shaders only unlock, it works. Any idea why it doesn't work? Thanks.

nVidia surround, that's what I'm talking about.

For good deals, why not.

In for one, thanks!

Counter-Strike 1.5 Half-Life 2

In for a chance! Thanks.

Wonder how good this card is for PhysX?

I want one to upgrade an old S939 rig :).

I look for build quality, efficiency, and solid value.

So I no longer have to fight over who uses the current headset I have with my brother :).

Sorry forgot about this thread. I looked on ebay, but found nothing but AC adapters for my laptop. I also noticed the 6 cell and 9 cell on the site have the same part #, so it must be a typo. I'm very tempted to get the battery, not just for the extra capacity but as a backup. Does the site...

Hey, I was looking for replacement/upgrade battery for my laptop (Gateway ID49c01h) and found this: http://www.replacement-laptop-battery.com/batteries-acer-868.html. However, I've never ever heard of this seller. I have two questions: 1) Is there a way to find out if the battery is legit...

Thanks for the info, good to know it won't be too hard on the card itself. I figured it would have very slow loading - I might try just putting older games on it. I do plan on trying it myself - I was just curious if anyone had already tried this and could give their feedback. I know...

Here's my situation - I have a laptop (Gateway ID49C), which I upgraded from a stock 640gb 5400rpm to a 120gb Vertex 2. It's fast, but is only 120gb after all. Because of this, I bought a 32gb Lexar LX SD card to put in the laptop's SD slot. As of now I've been primarily using it for downloads...

Don't ride the metro because it's not 2033 yet - there's no fun to be had.

Hi - I just got a new laptop - the Gateway ID49C. It has: i3 350m 4GB RAM Intel GMA HD w/GT330m I tried playing games, and the few I've tried work fine. However, I tried playing StarCraft II Beta and it chugged big time. I read around and finally found the Optimus update which specifically...

I want a copy of the game. Why? Just 'cause I do.
