Thanks for all the feedback everyone Looks like the 850 Evo 500GB can be had for $205 so that's even cheaper than 2 250s ... Looks like I will go this route Am also going to look into RAPID Thanks again!

Hey Gawds, I come seeking advice ... I am upgrading my main/gaming PC and am thinking about going RAID0 with 2 256GB SSDs Currently I have a Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2 64GB that is holding my OS and a few various programs ... then I have 4 Seagate 160GB in RAID5 and a 1TB Hitachi Deskstar...

Cool ... thanks for the feedback guys ... I'll probably just stick it in my other PC then since that is just running onboard graphics Thanks again everyone for all the help!

Thank you very much guys! I just pulled the trigger on the Gigabyte GTX970 G1 Gaming ... I appreciate the thought to look in the FS section but I generally try and buy new Side question though ... I should probably keep my GTX 570 in as a PhysX card right?

The 970 sounds perfect ... thanks you much all <3

Awesome ... thanks for the feedback guys ... much appreciated! As for the Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 ... I saw all the stuff about the refunds regarding the amount of VRAM ... it's still pretty much the top card right? Or should I look at any others? Thanks!

Hello Gawds ... I coming seeking advice in regards to the gaming PC in my sig Currently have a Gigabyte GTX570 ... looking to upgrade ... Budget ~$400 So ... single Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 (Gigabyte has been good to me but open to other options) ... or should I SLI 2 GTX 960s? Maybe MSI...

For sure .. the price point us just right ... I'll be sure to post back when I get it sorted out and built

It's much appreciated ... I looked at NAS4Free as well ... I like the simplicity of NAS4Free, but I like that I can easily run a Plex server on FreeNAS ... that is really the only functionality I need ... apart from keeping my data safe of course

Thanks for the reply ... I wish more people were aware of this ... If FreeNas had some better help and available documentation I would have known ... but until I went into the IRC chat about a separate issue I was unaware that ECC was pretty much a requirement ... I am returning the motherboard...

Hey Dangman ... thank you for the reply That NZXT case does look much better ... thanks for that suggestion ... I'm going to pick that up today at the store ... it was only $38 ... I already ordered everything else but I can just return that Antec case As for the PSU I'm going to stick with...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc FreeNAS box ... data storage ... also running Plex Media server 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Sub $800 all said and done would be nice 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell...

I would assume because when a regular CPU come out of idle and produces more heat a fan would be needed then I specifically said I was only looking for Intel ... I have no interest in AMD ... I never have ... and nothing you or anyone says will change my mind :D

Ok cool ... thank you For the VoIP though ... do I need something like this? Grandstream GS-HT702 Handytone 2-FXS Port Analog Telephone Adapter Right now the Technicolor all in one box thing I have from Comcast has 2 RJ-11 ports on the back that my phone plugs into ... if I get rid of that...

Greetings all I'm looking to get away from renting my modem/router from Comcast (Technicolor TC8305C) ... one because the cost is just silly and I'd rather have better equipment and secondly because (in WoW) I get these weird dropped packets or something that look to be happening at the...

Thanks again tiraides! Just bought that Rosewill Line-M ... it was $43/shipped w/ Prime ... looks like a great case ... thanks for that recommendation! For the monitor ... it doesn't need to be anything special ... just 1080P and 24" ... I have a Dell U2412M which I think is a fantastic...

tiraides Thank you VERY much! Solid suggestions for sure ... as for the SSD .. I'm going to stick with the 120 as the main storage is NAS on my home network ... I made the mistake when I built my current computer and only put in a 64GB SSD which I'm now kicking myself for, but they were more...

Would this be a better option then? Performance wise would this be a noticeable hit? Main concern is for Windows to be snappy and fast .. not having to wait for things to open and whatnot ... I know the SSD will help out tremendously with that Intel Core i3-4130T Haswell Dual-Core 2.9GHz LGA...

Greetings again folks ... time to build a new PC for basic web browsing and general MS Office type work and I seek your assistance 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Web browsing, Office work 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? ~$500...

So looks like it's one or the other I guess ... HDMI->DVI it is I suppose

I have a GTS 570 with Displayport, HDMI and Dual DVI outs ... my primary display is using display port ... I am trying to add my TV as a second display using HDMI but it's not even detecting it ... is it just not possible to run 2 monitors using a displayport and HDMI connection or am I just...

So basically I need to step up and spend ~$90 if I want nice smooth function and quality ... nothing good is cheap I suppose

I have an older Saitek and it just isn't smooth ... I think it's because of the spring design but I honestly have no idea ... it just seems jerky to use

First off my use for the joystick is going to be BF3 & PlanetSide 2 (when it's released) ... so I don't need anything ultra-realistic or uber expensive ... I do however want something that has good, smooth movement that is not going to get gritty, shitty and loose as time goes on I've...

Tribes Ascend Looks like it's gonna be awesome and pretty much a pure FPS

I can take a photo tonight but with my setup the fan is almost (maybe barely) touching the RAM ... board is the ASROCK P67 Extreme4 Gen3 with all four RAM slots filled

Dammit man stop making sense and trying to get me to spend more money on this build hahaha 5GHz HERE I COME!!!!

I didn't even look at them when I put my build together and am kinda kicking myself for not just buying one ... do they lower temps significantly over a Hyper 212+ with two fans? That's the only thing holding me back right now ... I'm sure I could sell the 212 and recoup some of what I spent...

Ah ... well that pretty much decides it for me haha Thanks!!!

I couldn't agree with you more!

Thanks man ... never expected it to just up and die after a day or so ... stupid luck haha

So I have an extra (2 actually) GeForce 7800GT from my old computer and was just thinking I could use it for PhysX ... can I use it or does it require a newer card ... also, since I have 2 of them could I SLI them for PhysX? Is that even needed? Sorry for the n00b questions but I don't really...

Was just sitting on my desktop and had the nvidia control panel open and the screen went black ... thought it was something from my recent overclock of my cpu and reset the bios ... that killed my raid 5 and I lost all my data Am I possibly missing something and it's really not dead? It turns...

Good deal ... I'll see how this goes for now and maybe add a fan ... the one you linked is sweet ... of course in the quest for more Hz I'm sure I'll upgrade too haha

So I just went back and lowered the voltage offset and it was stable so I lowered it again and it's running like a champ ... temps are cooler and I shaved .05 off the voltage ... I'm guessing it might be able to even go lower I guess next up I should either just get another fan or buy that...

Thanks fellas ... good to know it looks ok ... I was curious what "package" was under my cpu core temps ... I'm assuming this is kinda an average or overall temp? Johnny, Thanks for the link ... that was helpful ... going to try and drop my voltage offset a bit and see if it stays stable...

So this is the first CPU I've ever overclocked and wanted to see what you guys think i5 2500k SandyBridge CM Hyper 212+ (single fan) ASROCK P67 Extreme4 Gen3 4.5GHz @ 1.36 (spike to 1.38) vCore Ran IBT Standard for 20 passes and it went smooth ... are my temps too high though? They seem...

3/4" all around

Got mine today ... all I can say is this thing is AWESOME I have no idea what people are freaking out about with the "Aggressive AG Coating", muddy, dirty looking whites, "IPS Glow" I'm sure I could set a pure black or white background and pick it apart but damn people ... I don't know...

Can't freaking wait for this ... PS was the only truly massive FPS and this is looking like it's gonna be even better!
