    Need suggestions on parts list of a possible new computer

    I know what your saying there but I'd personally just rather not risk it for the time being. *side note* updated sig, and 1 stick of ram is going to need to be replaced. Bah at the bad luck with that set of ram and frequency of one stick being bad outta the pair.

    Need suggestions on parts list of a possible new computer

    Hmm I don't really know as far as the *cuda's but with reading that something catches on fire I'd rather not try them out at all. That's a plus your hdd's are running cool and off about your second wd hdd. I run a 120mm fan pulling air onto mine so I'm hoping that'll negate any heating...

    Need suggestions on parts list of a possible new computer

    I'll have to go for the seagate *cuta then I suppose since two have recommended it now. I'm a fan of WD but I've also had good luck with seagate hard drives and with the $5 diff why not. I was thinking about possibly upgrading to a 19" or 22" but that wouldn't be for awhile. Also I would...

    Need suggestions on parts list of a possible new computer

    I don't like to oc due to the fact that it tends to kill the life of components and I tend to run things until they die. I'll have to go for the corsair 520W. I had thought that the bios would be an issue with newer games though I'd just have to flash them to the newest. I might be wrong...

    [Need Help] Thinking of building SFF gaming rig

    Dillusion: i meant more towards issues of power supply demands and space seeing as I'm not sure if it can take a full atx psu or not. burnin8r: I'm not to much of a fan of hacking up cases so I'll most likely not be modifying it to allow for sliding of the tray.
