$800 AMD build

I posed that same question in my next build thread, and it was suggested I do. It makes sense that if you build a new system with a video card which can handle 2560x1600 that you get a monitor which could almost do the same. Of course the cheapest monitor newegg has running a max...

New Gaming build, recommendations?

makes sense Whats your take on HDD setup? Think having a SSD drive for OS is worth it? This machine I'm building is going to be an occasional internet browser but mainly a gaming machine, so load times are important. I am torn between 2 setups raid'd SSD's/Raptors single...

$800 AMD build

+1 I wouldn't bother spending the $30 on an audigy card. Put the money elsewhere or just save yourself the difference.

I'm curious what drove you to this monitor? a quick search shows me its apparently nicer for color because its VA panel technology. But it states its slightly slower response times. TN technology which is what majority of lcd's are apparently are the panels with quicker response just not as...

I like how you keep quoting that as if I'm a dumbass. Why do you think I'm here asking opinions from others? I'm trying to buy smart not flashy. Don't make me bust out the ascii middle finger on you jk

yes yes lol :P buuuuuuuuut, if it was $30 more for 90GB less, and 2-5 sec faster load times, I'll probably take a little extra space, 30GB isn't much From what I've been reading too, some people are just suggesting single fast drives for OS instead of RAID 0 because performance gain isn't...

basically... I mean I'd rather spend 2 grand for a pc which is going to last me hopefully 2+ years. I went big on my last rig and its lasted me 4 years. I probably won't tweak the system insanely, I might do a few minor adjustments but I'll get it to a point and leave it be. I'll...

of course if I have to go out and get some more system tests of these drives I will, perhaps I shouldn't take this data for face value off newegg?? Your saying the intel drive is going to be THAT much better than the vertex?

Where to buy a nice Computer Table?

are you handy at all with power tools? You could spend $40 on lumber and just make a desk to fit your needs however you want. I had a need for a huge desk in my computer room and instead of trying to find some custom one off desk I just built mine. Took a few hours but works great and has...

I already own the case, and I didn't pay for it, so thats what I'm using :P How comparable do you think having a 120GB SSD drive would be as opposed to a 300GB raptor? If I can see faster load times off an SSD than I don't care that it has less space. I have a viewsonic 19in LCD right now...

I'll start saying money's not really an object, but I'm not just going to throw money away either. My last gaming rig is on its last leg, I built it for around $2800 almost 4 years ago and it can still run new games like COD:WOW but I have to lower the settings a bit. Annoying for me as I...

I'm going to stick with XP for a bit yet, so there won't even be a point for me to get 8GB of ram... I'll only buy 4 for now. Probably 2x 2GB so I'll have 2 open slots for more later.
