I just recently put a GTX 970 in my main rig, and ever since, I've been getting buzzing/static/interference coming through my receiver (refurbed Onkyo TX-SR507), but only when the GPU is being used. While on the desktop, there's no static/interference at all, but as soon as I bring up a game...

I'm considering upgrading to a GTX780, specifically this model, and am looking to know if my current Antec NEO ECO 520C will be enough juice. Full current specs for my main rig are in my sig. If the Antec won't cut it, do you think a Seasonic G-Series 550 Watt PSU would get the job done? I...

Hello [H], Novice builder here, in the middle of a new rig for myself with the NZXT Source 210 Elite case, and am running into a VERY tight fit connecting the EATX 8-Pin connector to an ASUS P8P67 EVO motherboard. As you can see in the pictures below, the wires are EXTREMELY tight in the...

Hello [H], I'm looking to buy a used i5 Ivy or Sandy Bridge CPU and Mobo set in the $175.00-200.00 USD range. Non-K CPU is fine, as I intend to use this for a spare gaming rig in the living room and have no real need to do any overclocking. Willing to spend a bit more if you also have 8gb...

I'm currently using a set of Polk RM8s (L/R/C) in my small living room set up, and am looking to replace them with something comparable in size, but can be run at a crossover of somewhere betwen 60-80hz. The main issue that I have with the RM8s is that their frequency response bottoms out at...

I'm having an issue with my 7950 when using a second display in clone mode, where the secondary display constantly produces what appears to be artifacts. The most notable of this is an almost constant screen-tear-like effect on anything in motion (video, games, even scrolling in a browser...

Hello folks. Looking to build my first new PC for myself in over 4 years, and looking for some suggestions on some hardware. I plan on keeping this PC for at least 4 years, and would like to run everything (currently, and for at least the near future) at the highest settings possible while...

Hey all. I'm giving my father a hand with a little project of his, and need your help in identifying one missing part of our equation. He's trying to connect his DVR to a Dell 2.1 PC speaker set in his living room, and would like an amp of some sort in between to boost the volume up a bit...

Looking to help a friend of mine build his first PC, and hoping that you fine folks here can steer me in the right direction. Nothing crazy, just a pretty straightforward build. Budget is $800, including Win7, so more like $700 for the actual hardware. He's got all the accessories (mouse, KB...

This doesn't seem to be an oft-discussed topic, but with the recent launch of the PS Vita and its solid launch line-up, I'm wondering what other people's opinions are on their best/favorite, and even worst/despised, titles that launched alongside new hardware. While I presume that this will...

I've been thinking lately about building a rig for myself to be used primarily for emulating some older consoles, up through and including the original Playstation (PSX), and hooking it up to an older CRT that I have kicking around. Would love for it to be small form factor, wireless internet...

I'm currently running a pair of Polk Monitor 40s coupled with a BIC V1020 sub powered by an Onkyo TX-SR507, with an HT Omega Striker pushing it all from my PC. I also have a few consoles hooked up to the Onkyo as well via HDMI. While I'm mostly happy with the current setup, the Polks are...

So I'm in the market for a new monitor, and am looking for a few suggestions/recommendations. I'm currently using a 19" LG TN panel at 1440x900, which I sometimes use mirrored on my 40" 1080p Samsung TV. My uses are 60% gaming, 35% web browsing, and 5% utility. Here's what I'm defintely...

I've recently decided to branch out from the world of budget-friendly all-in-one computer speaker solutions, opting now for the component route. I was previously using the Logitech X540s, and have replaced them with the following spare components that I have: Onkyo TX-SR507 receiver BIC...
