Thanks! :D Time to save for a 265 then, and watch for sales...I think I have seen them as low as $150?? How about this one: Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 HDMI/DVI-I/DP OC Version PCI-Express Graphics Card 11222-06-20G Does the EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock w/G-SYNC Support 2GB...

I think for cost reasons I may end up going with the 265, as recent prices have the 270 at $200. This will not happen for a little while yet, so I have time to consider. Also, anything on the nvidia side that is good bang for the buck?

Thanks for the info! I will take a look at both of those and see what I come up with. I also may load Skyrim and Diablo III to see how they do.

Got everything together, and it all seems to run well. I have not installed the 9800GT yet, seeing what the built-in 4400 can do. I installed an old PCI Wireless Network card because I don't have any network connections where the computer is, we run wireless for the most part at home. The...

I will use the built in graphics, and run some tests, then install the 9800GT, then run some more tests. I know I do need to get a more current graphics card eventually. Thanks!

Done and ordered! Very excited. Thank you everyone for your advice! I just have to save up for a new Video Card, but I have a good start right now. I think the 9800GT video card will be a nice improvement over what the Haswell i3 has for built-in video, right? Or am I better off using the...

Thoughts on this motherboard: ASRock LGA1150/Intel B85/DDR3/Quad CrossFireX/SATA3 and USB 3.0/A&GbE/ATX Motherboard B85 PRO4?

I have seen the 265 for around $160. The 270 seem to be closer or even over $200. Here is one for $180, though I am not sure how good it is.

OK, so I will take a look at the Seasonic Power supplies. I think most likely I will be going with an R7 265, they seem to be around $160.

I was looking at that card. I do need to save up a bit, but waiting will probably be better than getting a 250 now and being disappointed. It seems that arond $150~$160 is the price of a decent video card now. My monitor is only a 20" 1600 x 900 so that would be the resolution I would play...

My wife and I currently use Macs as our main computers. Our backup strategy on the most basic level involves the use of Time Machine. Basically our Macs are backed up to our own external 1TB drives, we each have one. I would like to get a second drive for each of us and store them offsite...

R7 265 seems to be around $160, so I may have to wait on that one. I don't want to spend less and not be satisfied. I can probably do that along with my CPU/Mobo/8 GB RAM. Unfortunately from quickly looking I just see the Corsair Builder Series CX 430 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS certified Power...

I currently have a 9800GT and a HD4670. I was considering replacing this card, I would like to spend between $100 to $150. Should I go with a Radeon HD 7770, Radeon R7 250X or save more and go with a Radeon HD 7850, R7 265? I am currently playing Skyrim and Diablo III, but looking to get into...

Give me a couple of suggestions for the good PSU around $60? I will add this to my CPU/Mobo/RAM build. I will also use everything else I have currently. The video card will be my next upgrade, either a 7850 or R7 265.

So would either of these recommended PSU be OK, the Corsair 430CX V2 430W PSU or the Corsair Builder Series CX 500 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS (CX500)? This would be what I would upgrade right before upgrading the video card. I am trying to this in steps. So I would get the CPU/Mobo/RAM, use...

I have been working in tech support for Windows PCs for over 14 years. I used to build all of the desktop computers I use. When I went from desktop to laptop, I was happy at first, but not so much around a year later. I had an HP (consumer) laptop, and it stopped working consistently around a...

I am thinking my build close to finalized will be a Haswell i3-4130, a B85 motherboard, 8GB RAM. I will use my current case with the Antec Basiq power supply, the DVD-R that is in there and either a Crucial M4 256 or Crucal M500 240 SSD. I will start with either the 9800 GT or HD4670, then...

I think I would go with an R9 270X or 7850/265 as a video card upgrade. I don't want to spend more than $150 for a video card when I eventually get that. For now I will run the 9800GT or HD4670.

The Biostar is also a little less expensive. Would I ever need to upgrade the 430 power supply if I upgrade the video card, or go dual video card? What would I need to upgrade to at that point?

So a power supply as well. Which motherboard out of the two posted? Also will the 430 watt be enough or would I need more?

I have two I can choose from, both older 500 watt. One is an antec basiq and the other is a cooler master.

I am debating between these two motherboards: Biostar Micro ATX DDR3 1600 LGA 1150 Motherboards HI-FI B85S3+ MSI Computer Corp. Motherboard Micro ATX DDR3 1333 LGA 1150 Motherboards B85M-G43 Probably going with this Processor...Intel Core i3-4130 3.4 3 FCLGA 1150 Processor BX80646I34130...

OK, so Intel i3-4130, Biostar Micro ATX DDR3 1600 LGA 1150 Motherboards HI-FI B85S3+ and RAM, or how about one of these combos: Intel i3-4130 1 or Intel i3-4130 2?

Deciding betweeen these two CPU/Motherboard Combos. I can use the same RAM for both, so that makes no difference. RAM: HyperX Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model KHX16C9B1BK2/8X CPU and Motherboard options: ASRock H77 Pro4-M LGA 1155...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming, I currently play Skyrim and Diablo III Web browsing and light Photoshop work also. I may use this for web page design/development as well as some light programming. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping...
