Thanks guyz for the quick feedback. Appreciate it.

Hey, this is my first build. I just want to make sure this is normal for heavy cpu fan coolers. Got the monsoon III secured on the motherboard. I double checked the nuts to make sure they were good and tight and secured. Then I installed it on a sliding removable motherboard tray. Made sure...

thanks for the fast reply atomic. appreciate it

thanks atomic. Going to recieve my parts tomorrow. can't wait. is it true if the sound card is too close to the gpu, it may cause interference or static noises in the sound?

This is my first build, spare my noobness. This motherboard came with the crappy supreme x-fi sound card. Instead of using this sound card on my motherboard, I ordered the X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional sound card. I haven't recieved it yet. I've heard that it doesn't fit at the PCIEx1_1 on...

I bought an xps 1530 two weeks ago and it came w/ trend micro PC-Cillin. I've have no experience w/ firewalls except what i've read the last few days in the forums. Is PC-Cillin firewall good enough plus windows for inbound and outbound information or should I try Comodo? I've read where some...

want to clean out my old nvidia drivers and try new ones. is driver sweeper worth the 10 bucks or use the freebie, driver cleaner? Which is better or do they both perform the same functions? one clean better than the other? anybody know a good driver for a 8600GT mainly for crysis?

what about sound cards? Which is good for a 64bit, especially for gaming?

Is western digital ever going to update their raptors to 300MB/s Serial ATA transfer rates instead of 150 any time soon?

I'm no expert but just curious. Looking at HDDs for my new custom built gaming desktop. basically looking at 10k vs 15k. looks like 15k are scuzzys (SCSI). I know they're more expensive and they need a controller if your motherboard doesn't support SCSI. Will having 15k dramactically affect my...

tx, man

will the newer processors have a bigger advantage over the older quad processors when they come out this fall (like a big margin difference)?

I want to get the quad core. Which one though? Either QX6800 or should I wait for the QX6850 this fall? I know the bus size FOR QX6850 is 1333 and QX6800 is 1066 i think. Plus the ram is DDR3 intead of DDR2. Is this going to make a big difference? I'm not a computer expert by no means. I'm going...

been googling, and still can't get a real clear answer, is premium my choice to go with? I think on what I've read for gaming wise, premium will do the same as ultimate except ultimate has a few more extras that aren't necessary for gaming? Am i correct?
