$10,000 to build a video edit system...

Well the thing is, ordering a fully upgraded Mac Tower I could easily go over the $10,000 budget... I'm wondering if I can, for the same price, get a better performing machine by building a Hackintosh.

120Hz Monitor LIST -- Includes LightBoost, G-SYNC, Overclockable, etc.

I am building a new gaming computer and really want to jump on the 120hz bandwagon... I play on LCD's currently and don't really have any issue with ghosting, mainly just input lag... What would the best monitor and video card combo be if I have a $650 budget for both?

Attention Mid-Range System Builders - Updated 08/01/2015

I'm slowly building my PC over the next month or two... I have the case, SSD, and PSU so far. What should I buy right now, and what should I wait for a deal on? I'm thinking of buying the ram now since that seems to be a good deal, and waiting for a better CPU/mobo combo to come up. What do you...

looking for basic laptop

My sister bought an HP from Best Buy for around $300, and it lasted a couple years. I always honestly just recommend spending a little more and getting the entry-level Macbook Air. The quality and resale value are better than anything out there. But if you insist on getting a lowend laptop, I...

CPU? Ram? RAID? What would cause random 10 second pauses in Windows?

Okay, this has to be related to Firefox, because I've been using Chrome the past two days and have not experienced the same issue at all... What the heck, Firefox?

How do I move those? Do you mean the paging file? And yes, it's the onboard RAID... the motherboard has two chipsets for it... and whatever the better one was, I used that one when I set it up.

Hmm... I'm wondering if that is the case... It's a shame because it's making me consider switching to Google Chrome. I did just update my ATI drivers to see if that fixes it. I'll let you know how that goes today... I just can't imagine it being hardware-related, because I never get any hard...

Okay here's my issue. I'll be using Firefox or Dreamweaver and suddenly out of the blue it will pause for around 10-15 seconds.... not the entire system, just Firefox. I can access other programs and do anything, but Firefox will not respond.... after 10-15 seconds it will come back and...

They told me they didn't throttle FTP connections, but he took all my information and said he would talk to the Engineers. That was on Friday. I'm hoping I hear back from them on Monday. Honestly, I don't mind throttling, as long as it still WORKS!

Okay, I can DOWNLOAD fine at around 1.2mb/s... but uploading stops after maybe 1-2 seconds. What in the world would cause that except for an ISP issue? Maybe upstream capping for my IP address?

I just restarted the FTP service... so that's probably why you got disconnected the first times.... But for me, I can't upload anything for more than a few seconds before it freezes.... tried a couple different computers, both at work and at a friend's office with the same result.

Nope, I'm the only one uploading anything right now. It's a 2Mb/s up connection, Cox Business. What's so weird is, like I said, if I use the ".4" ip address it stalls and disconnects, but if I use the ".5" it goes through fine, at 300kb/s pretty constant (just checked). I have a service...
