    Need a pair for my BenQ XL2410T

    Hey guys, I'm looking to start streaming PC games via www.twitch.tv and am in need of a secondary monitor so I can play games and manage my stream simultaneously. I'm a bit of an OCD case, and am looking for the closest monitor, physically, to match it. I do not need anything special as I...

    ~$1200-1400 build

    The only thing I'm debating right now is whether to go with a 660, 670, or a 680 and which revision. I've heard SLi isn't really worth the money, so would getting a 680 be better for the long run ? Since I can postpone purchasing the card I might be able to put down a little extra when it comes...

    ~$1200-1400 build

    Oh, I hadn't even thought of that, thanks a bunch. One of the many reasons I love this place. And yeah I see what you mean about the OS. As far as overclocking an i7 goes, would a nice 120mm Noctua cooler do the trick? I'd rather avoid getting into watercooling and I don't mind a bit of extra...

    I'm not quite sure what you mean, I have Windows already, I'm assuming 64 bit would be the better option for an i7? I'm using 64bit Ultimate right now.

    ~$1200-1400 build

    Been a while since I've posted here, but I'm in the market for a new PC this holiday season and I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to parts and pricing so I wanted to check here to make sure everything is kosher. I'll run through the list of questions to keep this organized, then post what...

    WD TV Live or Roku 2 XS?

    Hey guys, With Christmas coming up I am going to get myself something to watch content from my PC on my TV, but I'm torn between the WD TV Live or the Roku 2 XS. I'm leaning towards the WD TV Live since all I really care is that it can play most, if not all of the video files I have on my PC...

    Advice: AMD X2 64 5200+ Windsor

    Just installed the new AMD Phenom II X4 945 and my PC booted perfectly fine first try, but it took a lot longer than usual to get going, I assume this is because Windows is detecting the new CPU? But I do have a question, would I be better suited to re-install Windows 7 since installing the...

    Advice: AMD X2 64 5200+ Windsor

    Excellent, I'm rather excited then and if I like Star Wars: The Old Republic as much as I hope I'm going to, I should be able to keep this PC for at least 2+ more years. Thanks to everyone for the responses, they are very much appreciated, I always know to come here when I really need some...

    Advice: AMD X2 64 5200+ Windsor

    Thanks alot, for 109.99 how can I not justify getting it? :P Won't be long :D Edit: I found the CPU in the list of supported processors, and I found the BIOS version I have to update to to support it. Awesome, looks like I won't have to buy a whole new system for a long time. How much of an...

    Advice: AMD X2 64 5200+ Windsor

    this is what it says on the Gigabyte site about Phenom processor support: The AMD Phenom™ processors are an ideal choice for multi-media enthusiasts and intensive multi-tasking environments to offer significant performance boosts and provides an overall more energy efficient platform...

    Advice: AMD X2 64 5200+ Windsor

    My motherboard is a Gigabyte M57SLI-S4 AM2 socket 940, so I'd have to upgrade my mobo to get full use of a Phenom no? If I could get a much better CPU for cheap and bypass a lot of overclocking and whatnot, I'm all for it. But I don't think my mobo fully supports those CPUs, it would work, but...

    Advice: AMD X2 64 5200+ Windsor

    Hello everyone, looking for a little advice here and I apologize in advance for the long post. I'm currently trying to get the last bit of performance I can out of my 4-5 year old system. I've installed some more RAM and got a new video card but my CPU is definitely bottlenecking my system...
