There is a Asus MB I like that has USB 3.1, but t also supports SLI. I don't plan to run two graphics cards. My current box had SLI and I ended up removing it when i upgraded my card. The other MB i Asus s Maximus Gene VIIi. I would like to stick with Asus as I have always had a great...

I don't plan to over clock. Any good reasons to get a MB with USB 3.1? I know it faster and provides more power, but most MBs only seem to have one 3.1 port. I always out in a bigger supply for future projects, but maybe 850 is overkill.

I am looking at a few cases, but a mATX case. The one I have in mind is 19'' deep - 7'' wide - and 15'' wide. Should fit the card. I don't have a ton of space in the desk I have. Trying to avoid a monster case. As it sits with a case this size I only have 3.5 inches on the side and 5 inches on...

I am replacing my current rig and I am looking for feedback on the components I am selecting: Inel Core i7-6700 3.4ghz w/ HT (4.0 Turbo) - 8MB L3 Cache 850 Watt EVGA SuperNova PS ASUS Z170M-Plus - Intel Z170 Chipset MB Phanteks Low Profile CPU Cooler - PH-TC12LS 16GB of RAM - Crucial Ballistix...

Years ago I was ATI only. I switched sides. I like nVidia products better.

Would a 2GB 650TI be overkill? Only a tiny price difference between 1GB and 2GB.

My MB will support a 1GB gtx 650TI? Also, eVGA or Asus for the card? Is one better than another?

I am playing games at 1440 x 900. The consensus seems to be to run a single GTX 650TI based on the limits of my current setup? 1GB or 2GB? If a GTX 660TI is overkill then I won't want to spend the money as this is likely the last upgrade I will put into this box before replacing it with...

Will my MB support a double height card like that if I did SLI?

I am running two nVidia SLI 8800GTs in a SLI config.My build is below. Last week my PC started crashing and BSOD during games. At shutdown I got a black screen with random $ all over it and at boot I got distorted yellow lines through my BIOS screen. Finally Windows Device Manager reported...

I am looking for a new monitor to replace my 19'' Samsung. I do basic computing functions and gaming (BF3, SimCity, and most new games). Should I go with a IPS or PLS? What do you think of this HP: HP 2311xi (IPS) w/ HDMI - $189.99...

The monitor I am considering is 23inch running 1920 x 1080. Also, should I go IPS or PLS? Any concerns of things I would need to worry about with a SSD? Are they as stable as a traditional HDD? I normally run WD Black drives if I am looking at a traditional HDD. I plan to get about 5 years...

Forget about what brand I buy. I can duplicate these specs on VM, MainGear, Falcon, and so forth. Currently just trying to get some direction on what specs I need for a mid-range gaming PC. I am hung-up on some of the hard drive choices. nVidia is the only graphics card I will use. No 1 brand of...

Sounds like exactly what I am trying to accomplish. Are you running Windows 8?

I can afford a 1TB HDD w/ 16GB ExpressCache. Would that be a better option? I cannot spend more than what the 256GB SSD + the 1TB HDD cost together. Basically I won't benefit from the SSD unless I can install the games on it?
