I went ahead and returned the P8Z68-V LE and went with the P8Z68-V/GEN3. Got everything connected correctly but the first 2 PCI-E slots don't work with any video cards. For some reason only the bottom black slot works, which wouldn't be ideal to use the Radeon HD 7970 in anyway, because the...

Also $160 at Tigerdirect for 24 hours.

I'd grab the Crucial M4 128gb from TigerDirect, as Cmustang87 suggested ASAP as I doubt it'll go lower than that, and I think it's a 24 hour exclusive deal

After a lot of thinking, I managed to return the i5 2500 for the 2500k. Decided I might want to overclock in the future with it. Is the P8Z68 V-LE good enough for overclocking the 2500k to 4.4-4.5ghz? I don't plan on going past that if I do end up overclocking, and already have the motherboard...

Thanks. Another question, do you NEED a CPU that supports PCI-E 3.0 in order for the GPU to use PCI-E 3.0? Would it work with an i5 2500 as long as you have a PCI-E 3.0 compatible motherboard? I'm guessing it wouldn't work without a PCI-E 3.0 CPU (such as an Ivy Bridge), but just making sure as...

Thanks, do you think there will be any improvements in performance for the Radeon HD 7970 with PCI-E 3.0 in the future (with driver updates, new games, etc.)? Wondering if I'd be better off returning the ASUS P8Z68-V LE for a different motherboard in case PCI-E 3.0 shows performance increase for...

So would you say there'd be zero perfomance increase? I searched around a bit and read that it improves performance in GPU computing, but doesn't have much of an increase in games.

Might be a bit late to ask this, but would there be any performance loss using the Radeon HD 7970 in a PCI-E 2.0 slot? I probably should've looked into that while choosing a motherboard, don't know if it was a mistake to get one with only PCI-E 2.0.

I understand that, I was saying maybe they could've made it so that it used 2 AA batteries instead of just 1 AA battery. But maybe the way they designed it made it so that it wasn't possible to add an extra battery slot or something? I dunno. Either way, it doesn't bother me.. just an...

People were really complaining about the battery life for the G700? It's really not bad, I have a Logitech G7 and the battery life for it was even worse, though the battery was a little easier to swap out than the G700. If you're buying a high performance wireless mouse, I think the battery life...

Already ordered everything so that's not really an option for me anymore, I won't be overclocking or reselling it anyway so I don't think there's a point to get the unlocked version for me. I went with 8gb ram. I don't think I'll need 16gb anytime soon, plus if I got more ram + a case it'd go...

I've ordered everything so I should have it all in a few days, but I've actually decided to look into getting a new case (kind of getting tired of my CM690). Managed to get lucky with the Gigabyte 7970, Newegg had it in stock for a couple minutes today. I'm interested in the Fractal Design Arc...

Managed to order a Gigabyte 7970 a few minutes ago from newegg (they also had the Diamond back in stock for a few minutes). I hope my order doesn't get backordered though, it went out of stock right after I ordered.

Thanks for the help. Yeah I think I can afford getting 16gb ram if it's worth it over 8gb. Is that motherboard alright? I saw some user reviews on newegg about it having issues accepting more than 8gb ram, but I'm not sure if that's a common problem or not. I don't really need many features on a...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Mostly gaming and web browsing. I would like to max out newer games at 1920x1200 with this build. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? About $1,500, I use shop-runner so I should be able to get free...

I'm not sure if that'll help me, considering the image retention goes away completely if I leave the monitor off for a few hours, but it comes back within a few minutes after I leave my browser open. I guess I'll try it anyway, could you provide a link to any digital noise videos? Thanks.

My U2410 has recently developed image retention on the right side of the screen. I think it's mostly caused by my constant use of firefox (I can see a slight leftover image of the magnifying glass in the top right corner and the scroll bar). I've been very careful and turn the monitor off...

I got my G700 yesterday and I've been noticing that whenever I'm resting my finger on the right mouse button I'll sometimes accidentally click it. I looked at how the left/right click buttons are situated and the right button seems to be pressed a bit further in than the left is. This results in...

awesome, i went ahead with upgrading the firmware and now the differing is fixed. i'm glad i don't have to worry about exchanging my monitor, the only thing that comes into question now is how dell will deal with the warranty if you manually flash your monitor..

Meh, sucks that I got the A00 right before they started sending out new A01 units. Oh well, I don't see any tinting or pixel problems with mine so I don't really feel like returning it or accepting a refurbished monitor. I doubt the tinting issues have been fixed though, that's a problem with...

Just got my U2410 a few days ago and haven't noticed any tinting or dead/stuck pixel problems. I've maxed out the saturation and have tried anything I could think of to test for tinting, so if there is any I can't notice it anyway.. I also haven't seen any backlight bleeding, although I have...

I was SO close to buying the 2209wa for $230, but I wanted to research other monitors before my purchase.. and then it goes up to full price lol. I guess I'll wait for another sale on it or something, unless someone feels like convincing me to get a different monitor.
