Just got the machine ungraded without a hitch. I am very surprised to say my gaming performance at least doubled when it comes to minecraft. More so with optifine (Muti core mod). Everything feels quicker too. I notice a huge difference in my SSD speed. Random reads are much faster... I love my...

Don't really understand what you mean about the motherboard being my monitor. I agree a GPU would benefit me more right now in terms of gaming, however I want a faster CPU for my video editing work that I do. I know do know what I will be getting in terms of performance when it comes to video...

I plan on upgrading my motherboard and CPU in just a few days. I am planing on spending around $300. Just to give you a good idea what I have now my specs are below. Current Specs: MOBO: ASUS VH232H (Had to get this when my first board went bad) CPU: Conroe e6600 @ 2.4 CPU HeatSink: ZALMAN...

I only added the 6670 to make the game more playable compared to the integrated graphics. This computer will be 99% work machine, and 1% gaming for a girl who enjoys playing minecraft time to time on a computer that currently gets no higher than 25 FPS . A 650 would be great, but really...

My sister plays some will probably will be playing some no very intense games, but she also plays Minecraft. This is a home office computer mainly as she works from home, but when you have kids then they want to use it too... Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1...

I will go with that PSU over the cheap cool master. I planned on going with the 3570k due to it being the only i5 with Intel HD Graphics 4000. Would saving $30 and going with the 3330 be the better option? I only picked the Momentus due to it being on sale. I am also torn between getting a...

My mother needs a new computer for her home office. She wants a new monitor too. Here is what I have pick out for her. She doesn't use many intensive programs, but she does keep 10+ application open at a time. The budget is around $800, no more than $850. I am trying to pull ot an i5, ITX...

My motherboard is not posting. It boots and my computer lights up but nothing. No beeps, not special flashes. I have unplugged, unhooked all parts, rearranged ram in every way possible, and resinked the cpu and still the same. I seriously think that my motherboard is dead, but could it be my...

I know that graphic cards today wont see much/any benifit using pci express 3.0 because they don't even utilize the full bandwidth of pci-express 2.0 however when that threshold crosses over the benifit could be noticeable. My question is when will graphics cards utilize the bandwidth beyond...

Yea, there is truth to the fact that technology is always changing. However standards don't change as quickly. The problem that I am trying to tackle is have him build a computer right after the standards change so he wont have to update the entire system to play games come 2013-2014. On my...

I agree. When it comes to gaming throughing cores at it won't help it much if at all. You best bet is to go intel because per core it has the best performance which in turn better gaming performance. I would have recommended amd if you planned to use applications that use multiple cores, but...

Alright, my cousin is wanting to build his first gaming rig. I am helping him build it, well I am helping him put the right specs together. What I am asking from the forums is when is the best time for him to purchase all the parts and piece it together? We both want to computer to be future...

I think I know what I am planning to get, for just under $200 with rebates. I would like to point out that I am not looking to out perform my current video card. I more concern with keeping my computer at colder temps. I don't play many games, however I do play games every once in a while and I...

Thanks for all your posts. I have a ZALMAN CNPS9500 2 Ball CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink so I am not worried abou my cpu. When I orginailly got my computer, I over clocked it quite a bit, but heat soon turned into a major issue. I relised that I should keep stock clock speeds to get my temps down as...

Hello, I have been on these forums for year. This was my go to place for computer builds. I am not looking to replace my current computer. I don't have the money for that. However, I am looking to upgrade the computer for one reason only. Less heat, but about the same power. My computer gets...
