OK thanks guys, I appreciate the info. I have a good idea of what I need to look at.

I have all of my computers networked together via Win 8 Homegroup for streaming movies and downloaded media to the TV's around the house and I wanted to know if I can plug my DirecTV into the computer and how I would do that. I have read the "Ultimate HTPC" sticky and as it was a few years old...

Ok, sorry for stating something that I shouldn't have on [H] Forum, I respect the opinions and knowledge that I get from here a lot. Thanks for the comments, I'm apologize if I offended anybody.

Hi, I will apologize in advance if this is a taboo subject, but I want to find an IP blocker or re-director for my computer and the last posting on this site is kind of old. I was looking at some of the programs from a Google search and nothing came up as a program for Windows 8. I don't think...

Thanks guys, I didn't realize that my card was still that good. I will check into getting one of the 5850's. Sorry for the snarky remark remark yesterday, sometimes I forget that I am the one that doesn't know much about computer hardware.

Ok thanks guys. I was looking at getting one of the p8-z77's. You can close this thread if you want to.

What I mean is that the 640's and the 7750's are about $100 now, and the 550Ti's have been out of stock for a while now.

I need to replace my MoBo on my sig rig. It keeps shutting down before post, not all the time, but when it does it's about 3-10 times... Anyways, not gonna bother with an rma just want to replace it with something else and looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I desperately need to upgrade my gpu on sig rig. I would like to keep the price as close to $100 as possible but can spend a little more, tax and shipping to AZ included. I know that's kind of cheap but my 550Ti is crapping out on me. Thanks in advance.

Oh ya the fans all work. My other thought was that the h100 water pipes were clogged somehow

There it's no dust. That was one of my first thoughts, but I keep the case pretty dust free. I have to pick up some more thermal paste, then I will try that. I guess my thought was that it was sitting unused in the desert and maybe the paste dried? But alas, I will only be able to tell after I...

I have recently moved from Hawaii to Arizona. Don't ask why. I had my sig rig OC'd at 4.5 GHz, and was running average temperatures of about 60c when playing SW:TOR. After about two months of sitting at my sister's house unused and in the case box, I set it up last night. After about...

Ok, thanks guys for your replies. That's what I thought. Is this a good card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5400619&sku=P450-78504 Or what would you recommend for around that price?

On my sig rig? I have about $250 to spend on upgrading either my motherboard or my video card. The video card ( EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti) is about a year old and has some wear and tear from moving a few times, and I realize that it is the cheapest part of my build as well, but the main use...

OK, thanks guys. I appreciate your help.

Sorry, that was the wrong link. The correct one is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130604&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= But was looking at the middle one that you posted. All that I play is SWTOR, just...

Gigabyte has some of the best top of the line cards for a fair price.

Need to upgrade my sig rigs video card. Wanted to ask if there were any deals out there worth picking up still? Was looking at this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=356682&Sku=E145-0554 Max resolution on monitor is 1920x1080. Not looking to...

That's why I'm here. You guys talk tech, I talk crap... :)

OK, I was wondering about that. The OC software that came with the mobo turned that up so I just kept it there. I did lower the RAM speed down to 1600 though so it wouldn't damage that, and I read that if I am only gaming, I don't need 1866 ram speed anyways. I'll turn the multiplier back...

I have not done a lot of overclocking before, and HATE the Gigabyte BOIS (confusing). I am checking to see if there are any red flags on this OC. I have run Prime95 for a couple hours without cpu reaching 60c (the alarm never went off anyways), but had to jump on the rig to do some work...

[H]Forum, for all of your computer and computer related relationship advice. But I agree with being honest.

PV316G186C0K model number of ram http://pcpartpicker.com/p/i2nk link to build

\loud primal scream... Best buy screwed up my freaking order twice and tried to charge me twice for everything. So not ordering from there again. Ordered the psu, and decided to get the patriot viper 3 2x8gb memory pack. I know its over kill, but it looks awesome, and I needed something to make...

Just bought Patriot Memory Viper 3 Series DDR3 16GB 1866MHz (PC3 15000) Memory Kit PV316G186C0K. Complete overkill, but looks nice and completely worth it in the long run. Got a 8g flash drive for my usd boot drive, awesome, never had a problem. Partiot has the best of the best at great prices.

For motherboard: GIGABYTE Z77X-UD5H WiFi http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2276152&CatId=6976 It's cheaper at bestbuy.com $205 Integrated WiFI and none of the stuff you don't need. It was on [H]ocp's silver list, don't know if it still is. or ASUS...

Partiot = Pro

I like that they constantly keep up with current up to date hardware for top of the line builds.

I will be using the stock hsf for now, then upgrade to a water cooling system later.

YAY, got my case today, get the cpu on Tuesday, then I gotta wait till I Friday to order the rest. What thermal compounds are recommended? Should I use the one that comes in the processor kit, or buy something else? I have Arctic Silver high density polysynthetic silver too.

Your link says $200, but the price on the page is $290 with $30 MIR. What is something that would not be completely overkill. My new monitor is 1920x1080. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7094925&CatId=4420

I am almost at my budget now, but will purchase that outside of my current budget. I can spend about $3-400 on a new gpu. More if need be.

The gpu is left over from my old build, I have that already. I will be replacing that after I get the rest of the pc build. What would you recommend replacing it with?

OK, so I think I got my final build down now. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gueJ I already have the monitor, gpu, hdd, and os. The case and the cpu are in the mail. I'm still taking suggestions for the rest or if you have anything else to add. Thank you all for your help so far.

So this would be better? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Intel+-+520+Series+240GB+Internal+Serial+ATA+Solid+State+Drive+for+Laptops/5081068.p?id=1218610014402&skuId=5081068&st=Intel%20520&cp=1&lp=3 Or what others are suggested for the synchronous NAND ssd drives? I want at least 240gb.

OK, so I ordered the CPU and the tower, switched out some parts. MOBO: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/GIGABYTE+-+ATX+Motherboard+1600/1333/1066MHz+%28Socket+1155%29/5429779.p?skuId=5429779&id=1218650461505 RAM...

OK so I updated some stuff and got this MOBO and CPU are the same. RAM http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Patriot-Memory---G2-Series-8GB-1333MHz-PC3-10666-DDR3-Desktop-Memory/4070284.p?skuId=4070284&productCategoryId=abcat0506001&id=1218454385731 Case Cooler Master - HAF912 Mid-Tower...

Ooh, ya, and I will go with the psu and case suggested thanks. And I do most of this from my phone while the bus, so that's why my replies look like a four year old wrote them.

Ok, mistake on the sceen res, its 1600x900. But I understand what yu mean about the sli. So skip that for now. Is it better to get 2 4GB sticks of ram, or 1 8GB stick? I am stuck between the patriot gamer 2 ram our the corsair xms3. I want to keep the 2500k so that I can start to over clock...
