So, I more or less have a budget of $220 right now free (Sold an MMO game account of mine, and the money now only resides in my paypal) Anyways, if you need to know my current PC, it's a 280X, 8GB of RAM, a 2500K overclocked to 4.5 Ghz, a 700W PSU, and a 1.5TB HDD. I game at 1080p/60Hz. As far...

I just ran down a laundry list of what's in it/on it, and here's that: Case: Lancool PC-K58WBought in 2011 Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68A-D3H-B3Bought in 2011 Optical Drive: DVD-R DriveBought in 2011 Videocard: 3GB PowerColor R9 280X Bought in 2014 RAM: 8GB (4GB x 2) DDR3 1333HzBought in...

I can't for the life of me figure out how to delete this thread, so, disregard!

So, I bought a PowerColor R9 280X, got a good deal on it real cheap and all that. It's an awesome card! One thing, though: I don't know if it's just me upgrading from a bad card or what, but my last videocard, a 560 Ti from nvidia, would almost always idle around 40+C, and at load, it'd...

I think my current videocard is getting on it's last legs. Half of it's fans (it has two) has crapped out, and it's basically being kept on life support with a 120mm fan rubber banded to it, lol. Anyways, with that being said, I'm wondering a few things. First off my computer: CPU: i5...

The short of it, this is my case/computer: http://i.imgur.com/ZXH6C.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6EilT.jpg http://i.imgur.com/MNZpV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/VcV0j.jpg http://i.imgur.com/hpiNs.jpg http://i.imgur.com/AqvXq.jpg I made this shoddily drawn "map" of where my fans/things are in my...

I have one GTX 560 Ti right now, and I'm considering SLI-ing it up for BF3, and I have some quick questions: 1. Will my PSU suffice? If not, I'm not going to buy another (and will just throw out the idea of SLI), I pretty much just bought this a month ago...

I've had this cloudy spot on my monitor in the corner for over a year now.. I think. It APPEARS, I think, to be behind the glass, or something? (Like, if you look at an angle, it'll appear differently, etc, I don't know if I'm describing that well, haha.) It also seems to be getting bigger :/...

http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=18388586 I'm thinking about upgrading most of the components in my PC (My Current PC = E8400, a decent enough motherboard, 2GB DDR2, a 9800GTX+, a fairly crummy PSU) Anyways, from that wish list, is there anything...

Possible fix: When the game starts up, go into the task manager, lower the process priority to Low. Seems absolutely stupid, doesn't it? Well, I did it, and I went from stuttersville in major areas and the watery part, to actually having a smooth framerate :x Saw it mentioned in the...

First... Idle, according to Core temp: Core 0: 56/Core 1: 42 Idle, according to RealTemp: Core 0: 47/Core 1: 32 under load, according to realtemp: Core0: 81/Core 1: 70 I'm sure the HSF (using stock HSF) is seated properly... however, I had to reseat the thing twice, so I'm...

This is the case I bought: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119068 I'm not going to be overclocking or anything of the sort. That's not why I'm asking. I'm asking because i live in the extremely host south, and my house has very crappy cooling. So... my room gets very...

This is the case I bought. I'm not going to be overclocking or anything of the sort. That's not why I'm asking. I'm asking because i live in the extremely host south, and my house has very crappy cooling. So... my room gets very hot. Very, very hot. Will the case suffice as is? Should I...

I'll be mostly playing at either 1280x720, or 1360x768. 256MB 7800GT, 256MB 8600GT, 8800GS, 256MB 8800GT, 512MB 8800GT, 512MB 9600GT? I was told on another forum, that it'd be worthless to even buy an 8800GS because the CPU would bottleneck it so much, and just to stick to the 7 series...

Well, I ordered a 7900GT at Dell about a week ago.. and it's about the only place I can get it (I had... free credit.. long story!) Anyways, it's either wait and get it.. or get nothing at all :/ It's currently telling me it's estimated ship date is AUGUST 21st 2006. ...Is it REALLY...
