Pretty decent choices, although no need to spend $84 on 4gb ram. Shouldnt spend more than $50 unless you're doing a crazy build, which you aren't. and I had an e8400, great proccessor. I used the sunbeamtech core contact and it worked great. my build was last november back when the e8400 cost...

I have an e8400. Has been a great proc. With a gtx 260 i was getting around 200fps constant in cod4 on the highest settings. E8400 is 45nm and q6600 is 65nm. Crysis was in the 50's range fps with my e8400 which is very good. No need for a q6600, but if you want to spend the extra dough...

What do you guys think is the best card under $100? Dont really care if its nvidia or ati, just looking for a low end that can run aero decently for under 100. Thanks

Looking at an 2400xt. Thanks

I've seen various threads on this but wanted an up to date answer. What have you guys had the best experiences with? Just want something effective and I am willing to spend some money on it, it doesnt have to be free. Thanks

I'm selling a computer to another member on here but his dad isn't too fond of buying from someone he doesn't know. If anyone lives here in town that could verify that my computer is legit and everything I would pay them $20 bucks or so. We could meet at the Red Rock casino or something. or...

Lol, thanks though

It isn't a faulty motherboard because I've tried it on two computers. Not a bad cable because I've tried two cables (maybe both are bad) but the drive does power up. Whatever ill just rma it and buy somethin else

That's great info, thanks. Too bad it doesnt show up in that list either lawl. First DOA thing for the computer. Got pretty lucky.. nothing else was DOA. Thanks

So I bought a new WD caviar blue 500gb from newegg. I know that Sata II is hot swappable. Anyway, I plug it into the psu and you can hear it spin up and it vibrates a little. Gets hot after a while. So it works. Can't get it to be recognized in Windows after plugging it in to the mobo...

So I have my new computer up and running with vista home premium 64 on it. Do i already have dx10 on it or do I need to update it? I looked on microsoft but could only find crud for dx9.0c. thanks

So my 260 came with a tiny black cable that, after googling, runs the audio for hdmi 1.3 / hdcp .. How do I hook it up to the mobo? Basically looks like This: I already know one end goes into the 260 obviously but where the other end goes, it looks like it goes to the same place as where...

Gold isnt necessarily an investment. It can be. And it isnt based so much off the American dollar. Sure, if the dollar goes under the world economy goes down, but the value of the gold usually doesnt. Rich people take their money out of their tax-free banks and tax-free whatevers and the...

What do you guys think I'll get at 1680x1050 with my e8400 and gtx260

Tom is 100% correct here. The bailout will screw the economy further (may boost it somewhat, but a lot of the money is actually going foreign so we lose domestic estate anyhow). The time to buy is definitely not right now. Maybe in a few months, but who knows when rock bottom is. Rock bottom...
