I would use that extra time to throw down my favorite games on extreme settings!

gun metal, black, perhaps aluminum accents

Seasonic S12II 430W. It's a pretty good power supply for the cost and has served well in the school computer. Would really like to get more wattage for upgrades.

Galaxy cards are amazing with their custom coolers! I would love to have one of these cards!

Huge fan of the performance to cost radio. Great cards!

GTX 600 series have great performance and excellent energy efficiency. I've got nothing against radeon, since I've owned a few of them too, but I'm currently a big fan of what nvidia is offering.

excellent cooling solutions and great performance for the price

AMD cards offer great performance and an incredible price point. Can't go wrong a little AMD action!

Incredibly awesome videocards at amazing prices!

Quite impressive results and good comparison.

Excellent performance for killer prices.

I'd be happy to take a new card!

This could be the best birthday gift for my wife ever!

quality products. Never had a problem with patriot tech.

fixed. erased everything and did a clean install on all the drivers and programs. don't know what was wrong but it's working now. thanks XViper for trying to help.

Did that straight from nvidia the moment I put it in. I feel like there's some setting I'm completely overlooking. Can't find a similar problem in other forums. It must be something I'm doing.

Just got my 690. I set everything up, works like a champ. Got surround setup and it looks beautiful on the desktop. However, I load a game (like skyrim) and it only shows up on one screen as if surround isn't setup. I exit and desktop is back in surround. Tried other games I know to work in...

I've always loved antec products. My very first case was a beautiful antec full tower. Excellent case designs with great internal layouts. Quality company with quality products!

I'd love to be first on my block with one of these bad boys! Seasonic is all about a quality build. Quality components with above quality output.

I LOVE the quality of Corsair! They are one of the few companies left that seem to really care about the consumer.

I've been dreaming about having an nvidia graphics solution for my monitors without having to purchase two cards.

galaxy rocks my socks

I love free stuff!!!! (or, at least I think I will considering I never win anything)

Currently, I only have a 500 GB 7200 rpm disk drive. It has terrible speeds (comparatively), takes an excessively long amount of time to boot up, and is getting quite full. SSD drive would revitalize my rig!

HIgh grade construction and fully modular = incredible product

I've got myself an MSI twin frozr HD 6870 and I absolutely LOVE MSI's cooling solution for their video cards! I fully intend to purchase only MSI cards with their cooling designs. I'm yours MSI!

XFX psu lineup: both are modular. THAT'S HOT

Big fan of 6990 performance for a single card solution. Tons of memory for multiple monitors! I'd REALLY like to upgrade my 6870 to one of these! (hint, hint)

Thank you

I've been looking around on the internet and I haven't been able to find a consistent answer. I'm considering purchasing a gtx 580. I know you have to have two cards in sli to run triple monitors, but can one card power two monitors (one to game on and the other for desktop applications at the...

Modular hard drive cages turn me on.

I've never had one. But as soon as I do, I promise to post what I like about Antec Kuhler. (need your help getting one) Thanks!

Thank you so much for that link Archmage! That really answers my question about the TIM. Good heatsink suggestions too. I've got a pretty big case, so height shouldn't be an issue. Like you know, i'm just trying to keep a bit of stress of my mobo from the weight of the heatsink.

I know you're suppose to add TIM. I've got arctic silver 5 going right now. What I'm talking about concerns the cpu heatsink base plate itself. Is the standard TIM application sufficient, or do you have to pre-treat the base plate that have crevices between the heatpipes and the base?

Excellent suggestions thus far. I'm putting this question out there too. On coolers that don't have the flat machine finish on the cpu contact plate, aren't you suppose to put a super thin layer of TIM to kind of fill in the cracks between the heat pipes and the base? That's been kind of a...

Excellent program! I remember seeing my first custom computer as a kid and I've been in love ever since.

Sorry, the Zalman link is wrong. I have a Zalman cnps9700 LED.

I currently have a zalman cnps9700 on my 2600K. It gives pretty good temps from what I've seen. My i7 idles around 29 C (which those of you with 2nd gen i7s know the cpu only idles at around 1.6 GHz, so temps are super low) and using prime95 the temps max out around 67 C. Gaming temps are around...
