Looks great. Feature packed at a nice price point. This might replace my idea of getting a 760T.

Ugh, one of my old co-workers would poke at his screen with his pens and pencils all day long. We had just upgraded from some ancient 4:3 monitors to some nice 27" Samsung monitors, and within the first week he had pen marks all over his nice new display. It drove me insane. I wanted to take it...

Best games of 2013? I bought Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure for the PC for my little brother back when it was released in 2006. Did anyone bother to check the actual release dates for these games?

Wow, not exactly the price I was hoping for. Unfortunately it was the price I was expecting, considering how the 79xx series cards are still selling for close to $400 used. Guess I'm going green this Christmas.

This is my dilemma. I've got a pair of 7950s that I'm currently using (and loving) but the thought of selling both for almost $400 each and getting a strong single card solution is really tempting. If the aftermarket coolers for the 290/290x were out now, or if we had some kind of solid release...

Glad to see that the dev team is working overtime. This morning's patch has turned my slideshow into a stutter free, smooth as silk, better than... you get the idea. Crossfire works as it should, CPU usage is still pretty high, but at least its playing great now. Just need to get some more...

Over a week since the beta came out and it's still in an almost unplayable state for me. 3570k @ 4.5ghz, pegged to 90%+ usage at all times. 7950s with the latest 13.11 beta drivers still stutter uncontrollably, barley breaking 40 fps at any given time and dipping down to the single digits for a...

I've had this same issue a few times. Simply closing the browser was enough to solve it for me. Hopefully you'll get some playtime in. I'm having trouble getting this game to run smoothly though. Can't seem to hold a solid frame rate and I'm lucky to get above 45fps on any setting. Running...

No first hand experience here, but it really does look like you got a faulty case. Check out the pictures in this review. Clearly shows the front panel and no obstruction in the SD card reader. http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/4552/nzxt_switch_810_full_tower_chassis_review/index4.html...

I picked up a set of Logitech Z323 speakers not too long ago from Target. Price was right around $50, cheaper than amazon or newegg if I remember right. I'm pleasantly surprised with them. Sound quality is decent, especially for the price. The sub woofer can get a little muddy but there is a...

I realized this an hour after I started downloading. A simple "You've got something downloading, you sure you want to close?" message would have been nice...

Well, I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon and suggest at 7950 as well. The game bundle is a good way to justify the cost, with Bioshock Infinite and Crysis 3 still costing about $60 each. The 670 is a good choice as well, though not as cost effective as the 7950. Either card paired with your...

The new Gigabyte 7950s are not voltage locked, and factory overclocked to 1000mhz. I don't know why newegg, amazon, and other sellers haven't updated that but I was pleasantly when I received my card last month. That being said, you still need adapters to run 3 monitors with the gigabyte card...

I'm really happy with my Gigabyte 7950. The latest bios is factory clocked to 1000mhz, versus 800mhz on the reference cards, and has unlocked voltage control. I haven't bothered to overclock any further, it drives my single 1920x1200 display just fine. BF3 and Crysis 3 look gorgeous and give a...

G.skill has never let me down. I've had to send back a couple sticks, and aside from the delay in shipping (New York to California) it has always been a pleasant experience. Very quick response from them and they didn't really ask any questions when I requested an RMA.

I was debating getting another 5870 for crossfire, or simply upgrading to a current gen card for months before I pulled the trigger on a new 7950. Going from 1GB of ram to 3GB has made an enormous difference, something I would not have seen going with 5870 crossfire. I don't know if you'll see...

You only need 1 bridge for 2 cards. The second bridge is for 3 or 4 way crossfire. Some people just like how it looks with 2 bridges, even though it's not necessary.

From what I've seen, its a quality card to fill the gap between the $220 - 7870 and the $300 - 7950. It outperforms the 7870 and crushes the 660, and is $100 cheaper than the 660Ti and 7950. If $200 is your budget, the 7870 Myst is going to be the best bang for you buck. As far as I can see...

The 7850 that was linked above fits nicely in the $150 price range. Much better than the 650gtx that nvidia offers at the same price point.

Fantastic card, cooled by the fantastic coolers that Galaxy provides.

It's all bios based. Simple stuff really, overclocking the 3570k is as easy as telling the bios what speed you want, and the voltage and turbo settings are done automatically.

It shouldn't be making that noise, sorry you got a broken cooler. Invest in an aftermarket cooler. $30 will go a long way toward keeping that thing cool.

Check out some H77 boards. Basic ivy bridge motherboards for standard computing. No SLI or Crossfire, and no overclocking with these boards though, so putting a 3570k in them would be kinda pointless. 3570k is basically designed with overclocking in mind. I just built a new PC for my dad with...

You dont need to uninstall or reinstall anything. Its a simple drag and drop, then verify the game files. Steam even has official instructions on how to do it. Apparently the link to steam support doesn't work... I just googled "Moving steam install location" and they offer instructions.

These cards keep getting better. Great reliability and cooling solutions on these cards. Would be a welcome upgrade!

I've got the i5 and g.skill case badges if you still need them. I do have an OCZ sticker, but it's huge and annoying. Its the "My SSD is faster than your HDD" speech bubble. Send me a PM, I can drop them in the mailbox today.

Got into the PC game rather late. Intel Pentium 4 Intel Core2Quad Intel i5 3570k Consistent upgrades for me. Haven't built my own AMD machine yet, just some older Phenom based machines for friends.

Sounds about right for a stock cooler and 15 passes of burn test. I usually see about 60-70c load temps on my 3570k with an H60 cooler. Idle temps are down around 20-25c. An aftermarket cooler will defiantly help lower the temperature across the board. By how much, it's hard to say. You should...

Z77 and Ivy Bridge were basically made for each other. That being said, I doubt that Haswell will be running on the 1155 socket. There will be no path to upgrade your CPU if you go with the new Ivy Bridge + Z77 boards. Like others have said, your current board is an AM3+ socket. You're...

Holy cow, wish the holiday giveaways never end! Galaxy offers a great product at a great price, and has the most innovative cooling designs as well. Would love a new card from a great company.

I like the NZXT mesh controller http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811992007 Five 30 watt channels, should be more than enough power for most fans. Plus, the mesh would look nice with your CM Storm Scout 2.

That does seem a bit high, I've been running my 3570k at 4.6ghz with only 1.2v. I cant imagine an air cooler that would cool this little furnace of a cpu when you put 1.45v through it.

Super fast video card. Amazing performance without breaking the bank, way to go AMD.

Galaxy has come out with some neat cooling designs, and have some awesome promotions too!

If you're fine with the performance of your 1tb mechanical drive, more power to you. SSDs are more expensive per gigabyte of storage but they offer an outrageous performance increase. My OCZ SSD is still about 5x faster than my HDD storage drive and my Samsung 830 SSD is twice as fast as my...

I'm still running a 5870 and have debated getting a 7950 if I can find one for a good price. I cant justify spending $400 for the 7970 with only one monitor, and I've seen some good deals on the 7950 locally ($225 on craigslist). I'm hoping the 8xxx series will bring down the 7xxx prices a bit...

Searching for an upgrade for an aging 5870 and the AMD 7870 hits the perfect price/performance mark.

Galaxy cards match good looks with high function, would love a new card to put into a new machine!

Great card, and an amazing bundle of games as well.

I'll second the Antec. I haven't had any issues with other Antex power supplies, and after a little digging it seems that the NEO ECO is basically a Seasonic power supply with a different name on it. Both are highly recommended. Also, $10 off with the coupon code CollegeSave10 makes this a...
