Asrock Z77 Extreme4 $105 FS@ Newegg

Agreed. I jumped on this board 6 weeks ago on a sale price of $123. If I were in need of a mb I would jump on this... unless maybe I lived near a Microcenter.

Asrock Z77 Extreme4 $105 FS@ Newegg

As far as I know the Gigabyte has better VRMs and the ASrock has faster boot speeds. Maybe someone else could chime in to answer in better detail.

asus hd7970 vs rqdeon hd 7970

Here is a good comparison of some of the top 7970s minus the ASUS, all seem like quality cards. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7970-overclock-review,3186.html Only one I can personally vouch for is the Sapphire HD 7970 OC. Runs great, overclocks good, runs very quiet (fans...

FF XIV ONLINE - Anyone playing?

Agreed. I'm hoping it's released sooner than April though... considering how long they have already been working on it. But you are right about not rushing it out too soon. As an avid fan of FFXI, I wholeheartedly agree with Arkadrel aboveabout the fun factor of FFXI. That being said, I am...

Considering new Monitor.. Advice?

I think it boils down to what you are looking to do with your system? Are you in need of 120hz for FPS gaming or are you just wanting something different? I can't comment on the benQ but if you decide to go back with a 1440 27" monitor, I can definitely recommend the ASUS PB series. I've...

Asrock Extreme 4 Fan Problem

Let's start with hardware, not to insult your intelligence but did you double check your CPU fan is plugged into your CPU fan connector and not one of the other fan connectors? If so, do you have the ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) installed? If not, try installing it and setting CPU fan...

Corsair Vengeance M90 Black Gaming Mouse - $27.49 FS

Thanks, I was hoping to get a review or two on it myself. The buttons do seem to be in a better position than the 1-12 keypads I've seem on some of the Razers. For $27 I may give it a shot.

My $1200 - 1440P Gaming Rig - 1st Time Builder

That's excellent kilroyst! GW2 will more than likely be the first game I purchase. Which monitor are you using and would you recommend it? Is your 7970 running at optimal temps and/or fairly quiet? I'm asking because of your intentions of adding a watercooling unit to it. Thanks for the input.

My $1200 - 1440P Gaming Rig - 1st Time Builder

I was eyeballing the Seasonic G Series but when I when I checked out the reviews on the Rosewill Gold Series(coincindentally posted by lehtv above) I felt I couldn't pass it up for $70 w/promo code. Good question, yes I researched and found many of the 1440p gamers are using this card...

Do these go together...

Hi Santoshn, nice build you have put together. I also am currently doing a new build and just purchased the same PSU. I was looking for a GPU around $400 as well, my question is... what made you decide on the GTX 670 over the 7970? I was leaning towards the Sapphire 7970...
