I would say about 25-35% of my time is spent gaming, sometimes more. My max budget is around $500 for 2 displays, probably $400 for one. Is the Dell a bad choice for reading, then? Also, if I do something like eyefinity for gaming (for say a FPS), the curser will be directly in the middle of the...
I am considering purchasing a new monitor or two in the near future. I was searching around, and I found this (LG IPS231P-BN) monitor at Newegg, which I'm assuming is e-IPS.
In your opinion, would it be better to get 2 of these monitors, or one Dell U2410, which is h-IPS and 16:10 (which is...
I was thinking of upgrading my MSI GTX460, while it will still sell for a pretty penny on eBay. Would a 6950 be a good upgrade, or should I go for a 560/570? I've heard that nVidia has better drivers, but I don't know if that's true.

This weekend, I needed to buy a computer, so after some research on what would be available now, I picked up an i7-950 and Gigabyte X58-USB3 at Microcenter. When I got home and installed them, I noticed an extremely annoying high pitched noise, coming most likely from the motherboard (it isn't...
Hi all,
I am planning to do a Gaming/Video Editing build by the end of this month. I was going to go for a Sandy Bridge i7-2600k, but I think I'm going to go for the i7-950 (because it can be had for $200 at Micro Center, and because of the Sandy Bridge problems - I need this build by the...
