Finally got pictures up of my new PC

Intel Core i5-3450 CPU
Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H Intel Z77 Mobo
G.Skill 2 x 4GB DDR3 1333 RAM
Gigabyte Radeon HD 7850 2GB PCI-E
Crucial M4 128GB SSD
Samsung Spinpoint 1TB 7200 SATA 3.0Gb/s HD
Samsung SATA DVD Burner
Antec NEO ECO 520C...
Thanks again. I'll probably buy the non overclock today. Newegg is OOS of the SSD. Is this amazon one the same?

Thanks, I like the selections you gave me. Some comments I had:
Is the RAM dropping from 1600 model not a big loss in performance?
Is the reason you included a SATA DVD burner because my ATA is no longer compatible with the mobo?
Thoughts on my current monitor?
This question is for...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming: CS:S, CSGO, Diablo 3, LoL, SMNC, BF3, Mostly FPS, big titles, several new games a year.
Other: Photoshop CS5, web-design, maybe some development
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included...
Hey Danny, If I remember correctly you used to have a post that you'd update with all the different pc builds by range of price... which you updated regularly. Do you still have that?
It's been about 3-4 years since my last build and it's time for me to research all the best parts and what to...
Got this PC a couple years ago: (Copy pasted from Newegg history)
1 x Antec Sonata III 500 Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply
1 x GIGABYTE GA-EP43-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard 1 x MSI N9600GT 512M OC GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 256-bit...
If you want props when you go to a lan party you should do the modding yourself. Back in my day, we didn't have these fancy Pre-modded computers. We just had saws and steel....

Hey guys. I'd like to thank you all for your help last time, especially Danny Bui.
I have a friend building a computer and I told him that I always come to this forum before I ever make any purchases to make sure I am making good decisions. He said he would appreciate it. So, without further...
This was a stupid question. Granted the kid should have done a little more research. Anyone could have been buildling PC's in the 90's, stopped, and currently they would know you only need certain components (IE psu, mobo, ram, etc..) and you can build a computer. It's the part where you find...
Danny Bui, I like a lot of what you said there, and its just the information we were looking for. However, I noticed none of your suggested motherboards had PCI Express 2.0 x 16. And thats what the graphics card is listed at... Is this a problem? Because I think that's why all the motherboards I...
Ok, a friend of mine and I are getting back into PC gaming and decided to build ourselves similar computers. We havent built our own in about 4-5 years, and back then AMD was the gamers choice. Now I hear that Intel is blowing AMD away and I argued that it was time to make the switch. Well...
Today only price. $898.00

I have been shopping around for a 40"+ HDTV for awhile. Could someone please tell me why this might be a bad deal. I have never heard of eyefi before.
Thanks,

Thx for the input guys. This makes me think of probably getting a soundcard. Spent some decent money on my current gaming headset and I would hate to not be able to use it.
Hi, My first time posting in this section of the Hardforum. I am a audio noob and all I want is a simple way to get my mic working alongside my speakers. A low cost solution that is, I don't want to buy an audio card or anything. I recently bought the z5500 logitech speakers. I can't remember my...
I don't know if I am being a dick, but I offered 2 keys awhile ago, and they have not been registered in 10 days. So here they are, first come first serve again, that seemed to work quick.

I am going to try to edit this post as soon as they are nabbed up.
First one to use it gets it,

Also, if someone PM's me I have another available, I only need your email address.
EDIT: the posted SN was removed cuz it has been grabbed up.
I am a noob, so can I just ask some questions..
When you say one time use, do you mean one of those coupons can only be used by 1 person, thus after it is used this thread is useless? or do you mean someone cant use it for a desktop, and then get a laptop and try to use it again.
Second...
It has free 3-day shipping, am I wrong?
As for a question, someone in the comments mentioned that it is 2ms gray to gray, and 6ms black to white. He goes on to say that gray to gray is a shitty standard and this is kind of deceptive. Is he correct? I probably wouldnt notice either way, but I...
QFT.
Look, we are talking abuot them aren't we? Odds are this thread will pump them some traffic too. So I guess regardless if they are making money on the sale, they are getting publicity.
I am new to xoxide.com(They always seemed overpriced to me) But for this deal I might stick around. I am just asking if there is a way to register an account with them so that I can keep up with the fast purchases?
My noob question is this...
If I see something go up for sale, and I add it...
#1, drink pepsi? or diet something?
#2, find caps at a local event?
I would have done the 2nd, but I got into this thing way to late, and I dont think its worth it anymore. Sweepstakes entries are at 1400+ and growing.
