I've been out of the loop regarding hardware for probably a year.
I'm looking for a replacement for my 7970. I game at 1440p/60hz and prefer to have all settings at their maximum.
I play Battlefield 4 and will likely pick up Hardline
I'd also like to play Shadow of Mordor and FarCry 4...
I saw a link in the hot deals section for the 660 TI for sale at tech bargains and thought it might be nice to upgrade the 5970 in my HTPC to something that would use less energy.
So I check ebay wondering how much the upgrade would cost and am floored that my 4 year-old video card is selling...
If anyone is sitting on an unused AMD Never Settle bundle code and would like Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite instead, your code works on the new bundle.
Downloading Crysis 3 as we speak.
Logitech G9x mouse and G105 keyboard, both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Edition, for $52.99 shipped. Pretty great deal if you can live with the MW3 logos. For the price, I can.

Found the deal on Slickdeals. Currently 3 hour and 40 minutes...
There is currently a free weekend taking place for this game on Steam. I'm downloading it now and will post my feedback later tonight.
Just wondering if anyone here is playing this game?

The metascore isn't great but it looks like it might be fun.
I'm looking to upgrade from my turtle beach X-31, mainly because there is a slight audible hiss that is ever-present.
If any of you guys are using a wireless gaming headset and have recommendations, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks
I just got a new WD TV Live Plus for my parents to use as a Netflix streaming device.
After spending hours running around for parts, drilling holes through floors and snaking the 75 ft. Cat 6 cable from the router to their TV I was excited to quickly setup the box and leave.
That was 4 hours...
I'm looking for a pair of Athena Audition series speakers to add to my old 5.1 setup. They sold them at Best Buy and I'm not really sure where else.
Here is a link to the original manufacturers website. http://www.athenaspeakers.com/products/audition-series/
In descending order, I am...
I have been gaming the last few years with a Razer Lycosa keyboard and a Microsoft Habu mouse (powered by Razer laser tech.) on a Func 1030 mousepad.
When I built my new rig I bought a Logitech G110 keyboard and G9x mouse with a Ratpadz XT. I can't believe the difference. My K/D ratio...
I finally tracked down a third VW266H monitor so I can run an eyefinity setup. I have two 8reference 6950s in crossfire and am in need of an active display-port adapter. Looking around there seems to be several options varying greatly in price. What are you guys using?
I'm looking for one more VW266h to complete my eyefinity setup. These were $250 shipped new AR when Newegg last had them in stock.
I'll pay the same $250 shipped for one still in good shape, with no dead pixels.
I'd prefer it came in original packaging as I see no other way it could be...
Im piecing together a new rig with the end goal of running a pair of Crossfire'd 6950s.
The only problem Im having is trying to pick a motherboard. I've narrowed it down to a Gigabyte P67A board but I dont know what I need in the way of PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots.
I'd hate to spend a ton of...
My eventual plan is to run two of the 6950s in Crossfire is there anything I overlooked? (Case, optical drives and cooling is already taken care of)
If this were your system would you use different components? I have been out of the hardware loop for a little while
Video Card - MSI...

Found this link on slickdeals.net and thought some of you guys may find it interesting. Best price I've seen on a 42" LCD. I know nothing about this brand but for the...
I stumbled across this site http://www.vpforums.org/ yesterday while trying to find a pinball table for the rec room. It seems even pinball is being emulated these days. I was blown away when I saw some of the tables in action and now I must build my own...
Maybe if I had never played BC2 I wouldn't have so many issues with Black Ops.
Reasons I like BC2 better:
- The guns act like real weapons when being fired (recoil & sound)
- Guns feel different from one another, The only thing that feels different about the Black Ops guns is the fire...
I'm tired of not having a mic to talk in the online games I'm playing. I'm currently gaming with a pair of Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones and the sound quality is great (to me anyway).
I'm looking to pick up something for gaming use only, the cheaper the better. What are you guys using...
thehumansolution.com has a coupon code for $70 off (12%) the Raynor Ergohuman chair. The coupon code may work on other Ergohuman models, but I know for sure it works on the ME7ERG. (I just ordered one)
$537 is still a lot for a chair, but it's the cheapest price on the net. Every other...
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and I just got the Captivate today. I've been trying to connect the phone to my computer to no avail. I'm not trying to do anything nefarious, just load some of my music collection.
I installed the drivers from the Samsung website but they didn't help...
I find myself too lazy to walk downstairs to grab my dvds. I've been streaming netflix movies more and more. I would like to begin converting my dvds to h.264 using handbrake so that I can watch my movies without getting off my lazy ass.
I know I need AnyDvd and plan to use Handbrake for the...
I have recently setup a new home server and am using it to deliver content to two Xbox 360s. The onboard Intel graphics aren't really up to the challenge.
I have pretty much narrowed it down to the ATI 4650 or 5450. I will be using this for media serving only. It will never run a game. The...
I went by my local AT&T store this morning. There I waited in line for an Iphone along with several other people. They had a sign on the door that said Iphone 4 line starts here.
They told everyone they would open at 7, it turned out to be 8. Now for the kicker... they waited until they...
I have a 5870 hooked up to two indentical monitors running at 1920x1200. All I have been able to figure out is how to extend the desktop to the other monitor.
All i want is for the desktop to be truly split between the two screends. Do i need to enable Eyefinity for this? Does Eyefinity work...
As much as I hate the thought of waking up early just to get a phone, I think I may have to.
I was not able to get one preordered and my ancient Blackberry 8310 may not last until mid July, when more Iphones are expected to be available.
In case you couldn't tell Im not a cell phone...
Im looking at picking up the Canon MP560 printer for printing my schoolwork. I found it for $106 at my local Best Buy. I also found it for $67.98 shipped from Newegg but it's refurbished.
Anyone have any luck with refurbished products from Canon? Think it comes with ink? Is there a better...
I've been reading the Drizzt series of books by R.A Salvatore and am itching to see the world brought to life in a game. I never played Icewind Dale when it came out originally.
How have the graphics aged? Is the game playable in Windows 7. Basically is it worth me tracking down this game or...

I was interested in purchasing an 800D but the hotswappable drive bay enclosure turned me off as I wouldn't use this and didn't want to pay for it.
Corsair has obviously gotten feedback about the 800D and used it to create the more refined...
I know to run Eyefinity I need a display port adapter for one of the monitors. What should I get? It can be dvi to dp or hdmi to display port. What is the cheapest hassle free solution?
Active or passive?
Im looking for something to play when I'm tired of dying in BFBC2. Im considering DAO and DoW2. Games will be purchased through Steam.
If I go with DAO is the Digital Deluxe pack worth the extra $15?
Just ordered the Sapphire Vapor-X 5870 from Ebay. Will be $404 shipped after BCB.

They have the drive for $219.99 shipped. I want to order the drive today and was just wondering if anywhere has it for less.
Has anyone purchased a 4 pack of Global Agenda that has an extra key available? I'll pay $37.50 for it ($149.99/4=$37.49)
If 3 other people are interested in checking this game out I will throw in on the group buy. I have enough to pay for my copy of the game immediately but could not afford...
I haven't picked out the motherboard yet but I will be building a new sff system to use as a htpc. I will be using my e8400, 4gb ddr2, two hard drives and maybe a video card if I cannot find a solution with onboard hmdi.
While searching for mATX power supplies I couldn't find any made by a...
Im trying to figure out what it would cost me to go with an eyefinity setup. I already have two Asus 25.5" monitors that run at 1920x1200. Im about to replace my e8400 with a q9550, and hopefully I can still hit 4ghz.
What video card do I need to drive 3 monitors at 5760x1200? My current...
I just received some new fans from xoxide.com. They arrived in a box with no packing materials, just the fans loosely thrown in. Two of the fans' wires became a mess in transit, took me a while to split them apart.
I haven't been able to test them yet. They are still thawing after being on my...
I game at 1920x1200. The rig specs are in my sig.
I just got GTAIV and Mass Effect 2 will be out soon. I won't be building a new system until my 2011 tax returns. I feel like right now my video card is my bottleneck, but I could be wrong.
Is there anything I can upgrade for around $250...
I just got back into it. Only a level 33 Elf Warden on the Brandywine server at the moment. Anyone else play? Im pretty casual about playing myself but the game can be fun for a few hours here and there.
So I've had this Xbox 360 Elite since Christmas of 07. No issues ever. Just spent days playing Borderlands with no issues. Yesterday I go purchase MW2. Put the game in and it needs to update already. It updates fine and I start playing but the whole time the screen is slightly blurry (Very...
