Thank you all so much for your advice- I really appreciate it. I probably will end up going with the 270x as a prioritize performance slightly more than sound. I was wondering what your opinion is on the following card: R9 280 Double D (Link below) If I decide to spend closer to $200 would this...
thanks GoldenTiger. I will take a look at that card- do you have any preference in terms of gigabyte vs msi etc?
also I was wondering- is it worth it to get a card that I can connect in SLI/ xfire in the future? or is it better to just get a new videocard at that point? when/what is a good...
Im looking to get a videocard in the $150-175 range

The computer has
intel 3770k (built in videocard)

Hi I bought the Corsair HX750 [Silver] from Amazon last week for $138- and have it plugged into my system and working perfectly.
...but now the Seasonic x750 went on sale for $119 at Newegg.
Should I return the Corsair and get the Seasonic? (Assuming that I dont have to pay for shipping...
My budget is about $200
I dont need a GPU for another 3 weeks
Should I bite on this deal or just wait 3 weeks and see what's available?

Hi I'm interested in getting a new GPU. Unfortunately my budget is about 150. Less is better ;)
Anyway, I will be using the computer for multitasking primarily. Video playback with different videos on each monitor. I dont do much gaming. Resolution on the screens is 1080p right now but I plan...
Thanks for all the tips! I was a little bit in a hurry and found the hx750 for $120 and bit. Hope it works out! I wish I had better timing so I could get the seasonic for super cheap- but this will do :)
What is the best PSU either 750w or more (under 1000). I have a budget of $140.
Needs to have excellent reliability and performance.
Prefer modular, but not necessary.
Fit in midtower- phantom 410
Thanks!
The only thing holding me back is that rosewill only has a 1 year warranty vs the 5 year warranty of the NZXT and the 7 year one from corsair. Do you think that makes any difference?
Hi I wanted to add a few fans to my stock case and dont know which type to get. I will be using the stock case controller for a while- mainly because I dont know how to do advanced setups yet haha
Maybe I'm totally on the wrong track and there's something much better to do? Please let me...
I didn't know that about NZXT haha. Good to know.
Which one would you choose?
Rosewill ($119): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182264
Corsair ($138): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139016
NZXT ($128)...
A few questions:
1)What size of PSU do I need? I was thinking 750W
2)What certification is best to get? (Bronze, Silver, Gold Platinum?)
3) Which brand has very good reliability? I keep hearing that PSU is the heart of the system so I would like to get a good one...
4) Considering the...

i ended up going with the gskills 1600mhz ram 16gb (2 x 8gb) - $89.99
samsung 830 256GB SSD - $189.99
Awesome. I just ordered the ones that you recommended. What do you think about this SSD? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233268#top
Is there a better model or do you think prices will go much lower? I have until the end of the week to order.
Thanks again!
I'm planning on getting pro soon and wanted the option to upgrade in the future since i plan on having the machine a few years. I bought a hyper 212+ for the CPU cooler.. Which ram would not cause problems in terms of fit?
Thanks
Gotcha. What do you think about this corsair set? Is it a good deal w/ the extra 10% off?

Hi I didn't know where else to post this-- but I was looking for advice on which SSD and Memory to get.
For the SSD I am wanting one that is about 240GB. The first priority is something that will last a long time. Second priority is speed. Third is customer support (hopefully I'll never...

i have a few questions:
1) i noticed on the specs for the mobo that it can support up to 32gb ram at 1600mhz. is the faster speed of ram worth it? to fit in budget i can just get 8gb 1dimm right now and add more later
2) how many harddrives could i add later on...
essentially, yeah. web browsing. media playback. i will be also at times be using programs that involve 3d body simulations, word processing, and database programs programs. the thing i want to make sure is that i can play things and use programs on different screens at the same time. i need to...
