Best price-to-performance ratios in the $250+ range?

I'm looking for a graphics card and my ideal price point is $250 or so, though I'm willing to go up if a particularly good deal is available. My use for the card would be gaming. The newest game I'd be using it for is Witcher 3. What cards at $250, give or take, are the best deals in terms...

Replacement for Asus P5E Deluxe? (LGA 775, DDR2 1066, 6 SATA slots)

Thanks. But the board you linked to, ASRock G31M, says for memory "DDR2 800/667" - mine is DDR2 1066. I don't think my memory will work on that board?

Replacement for Asus P5E Deluxe? (LGA 775, DDR2 1066, 6 SATA slots)

I had an Asus P5E Deluxe motherboard, but it recently broke. Buying another one would set me back about $190, so I'm looking for a different model - a cheaper one I can swap into place without changing my other hardware. That includes: -Q9650 Core 2 Quad processor -DDR2 1066 RAM -Radeon...

Mid or full tower cases with foldout motherboard tray?

Thanks for the advice guys. I've decided to get a mid tower, not a full tower. And I'd like lightweight so I'm probably going with aluminum. That narrows down the selection a lot, I think mainly to Lian Li? Aluminum is their specialty right? Which mid tower Lian Li cases have a sliding or...

Is there any info on how much the 8000 series will cost? Because right now the 7950 is a great deal at $200, and I don't think even the release of the 8000 will drop the 7950's price much, if at all. Interesting, thanks. Guess I'll be getting a new mobo then :)
