I am currently running an i5 2500K with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007R21JJK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 as my motherboard. What I am wondering is if I can use a new CPU, for instance an i5 7600K, without upgrading my MB. No real budget target. Best bang for buck, but...

I had started one of these a month ago when I first put in an order for a LG 34UM95 and the advice that was given was to wait. It turned out to be good advice as I ended up deciding to scrap a couple of other projects and can now put those funds to upgrading my PC. I am scheduled to get my new...

I built a new rig 2 years ago and due to budget constraints I decided to forgo a monitor and just use my 40inch TV. That has worked pretty well, but now I'm wanting to put my computer in my office where I can use it while my wife and daughter use the TV. I would like to go to a 3 screen setup...

I am setting up a filezilla server on my home PC. I used dyn.com to get a domain, but when I try to connect to the domain it sends me to my router if I use the default port in filezilla, 21. I have tried a few different ports and with anything but 21 it doesn't connect at all. Any thoughts?

I built a new gaming rig back in April and would like to use it as a media server as well. I would like to be able to stream video and music as well as access files remotely across different platforms. The computer in question is an i5 2500k running Windows 7. Currently I have a Samsung...

**Updated** I have been waiting a long time to make one of these threads. :D 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming, some media but mostly gaming. Skyrim, Diablo 3, Rift (if I can ever find the time to get back into it), whatever other...

I currently do not have a smartphone or a data plan. I had been planning on waiting for the Galaxy S 2 to come out but with Verizon switching to tiered data plans my wife and I are thinking of going ahead and jumping on board (she's planning on getting an iPhone 4). So my question is should I...

The current situation: I have 2 phones right now, one is on ATT the other is on Verizon. The ATT phone is on my parents family plan. I really like said phone (Samsung Impression). The Verizon phone is an LG EnV. It's my wife's old phone and she gave it to me when her parents added me onto...

One of my wife's friends is looking for a monitor for her dad for Christmas. He is an orthopedic surgeon and needs something that will very clearly show x-rays. He wants at least a 23 inch screen and my wife's friend doesn't want to spend more than $300. She doesn't know anything about monitors...

So I'm getting married in a week and a half and I will be moving into my fiance's condo. At my old place I had my TV/BluRay player (both Samsung and both a year old though I forget the specific models) in the same room as my modem and just ran a cable to the BluRay. At the condo (which she rents...

A buddy of mine is looking for a new motherboard. He has an i7, 3 sticks of RAM, and a 5770. He's trying to keep it under $200 if possible. Historically, I've used Asus and MSI, but I've been out of the hardware loop for a few years and figured I'd get the [H]'s thoughts before recommending a...

I've decided I need a new game, having recently quit WoW *cough*again*cough*. I'm wanting to avoid the MMO scene as a whole and have narrowed my selection down to the Witcher and Mass Effect. I played through the Witcher demo and loved it. (I'm a big fan of Gothic/Elder Scrolls). I've heard only...

I'm currently working on a VB program where I need to call an ASP page from a VB.net form. My brain's pretty fried and I can't seem to find anything via Google. Help is greatly appreciated.

I'm thinking about buying the Logitech G7. I prefer wireless to wired, even for gaming, and I've always been a fan of Logitech. Anyone have experience with the G7? It's about the right size for me and I like the over all feel, but sadly the display I saw wasn't plugged into a comp. The battery...

I posted this over in General Mayhem and wasn't getting any replies and then got pointed to here so here goes... I just built a new system the other day and I'm having trouble getting windows to boot. I've got a MSI K8N Neo4 motherboard, an AMD 64, and a SATA hard drive. For some reason...

I'm looking at building a new system (about friggin time) and I'm trying to decide on a video card. I'm hoping to keep it under $400 and can't decide between the X850 XT and the 7800GT. Suggestions? Comments? Brand (MSI, ASUS, BFG, etc) reccomendations? I generally try to keep up with hardware...

Ok, a buddy of mine is over here and we're trying to play Guild Wars. I'm plugged straight into the port in my wall and he's using wireless. He's getting an odd message 'Error 5' that says something about there being a network problem. I'm having no trouble at all with GW and GW is the only...

I haven't played HL 2 in a while so I figured I'd pick it back up today. Well, after sitting here for a while waiting for steam to update the game, it finally started up. The Valve screen came up and the music played and the the main screen loaded. I noticed that I didn't hear any of the noises...

A friend of mine knows of a map for StarCraft called "Neo Quest" the author of the map is Drexas any help would be appreciated.

Hope this isn't a repost, I searched for it and nothing came up. Go to http://bzflag.org and check this game out. It's open source so it's completely free. The graphics are pretty good and the gameplay is insanely addicting. My roommate and I spent about 3 hours playing the other day. Also the...

What's the best way to clean the face of a LCD screen?

I live on a 56k (yeah, yeah, yeah...) and am on the World of Warcraft beta test and was having a blast with the game until...yesterday when they released the latest patch. Now, normally, the patches aren't that big of a deal because they aren't terribly large. This one (760 mb), however, will...

I've got a duel moniter set-up and I was wondering if there is a way to use two seperate backgrounds. Or if I there are any good backgrounds that stretch across both moniters and how do I use them?

Title says it all.

I'm looking for some cheap headphones. I just recently spent most of my funds on a Samsung 712N so I need to keep the price under $60-$70. Preferably around $40-$50. Although I realize that I won’t be able to get top quality in this price range, I would still like to try and get a high quality...

Can someone explain the differnces between the Promedia Ultra 5.1 system and the Promedia GMX D-5.1 system? Why the $200 difference and why would I want one over the other? BTW, I would us them for pretty much everything: games(hardcore), movies(generally at least one or two a week), and...

I just picked this up at EB and every time I get into the game it works perfectly for a minute or so and then all the colors go out of wack. Anyone know how to fix it? I was hoping there might be a fix on id's website but I couldn't find any.

But the Samsung 712N, Compusa/BestBuy/CircuitCity are all selling it for $380. I've been thinking about buying an LCD for a while, because I need something for my dorm room, my current moniter is deeper than my desk. So I've been looking at the 712 since it's on sale, I have pretty much decided...

I downloaded the Star Wars Galaxies 14 day trial and I'm trying to install it, but it keeps trying to install it onto my master drive, which doesn't have enough space on it. Anybody know how I can get it to switch drives?

I'm considering investing some money into my current rig, probably in the range of $150 - $300 or so. Any ideas on what I should get will be greatly appreciated. I haven't really been keeping up with everything on the market recently, and I always like to get the best possible product for the...

I saw that it was in stores and I was wondering what everyones opinion on it is. I've played through the first 2 and loved them. But I don't really have the money to spend on a game that isn't well worth it.

I have a home network of 4 computers, all of which can get online... except one. It worked fine until recently when it simply stopped allowing me on. The network itself works fine, I can get into any of the other three computers through the one, but it wont allow me online. I have broadband...

I currently have a 19 inch Viewsonic CRT and I'm thinking of getting an LCD for my dorm room. What the best I can get for around $200 or so? I don't really need the best or the biggest thing on the market, just something reliable that is decent for games and movies and wont take up too much space.

I'm mainly looking at the Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1. I'm curiouse as to what people think. Any opinions and/or suggestions are welcome.
