Am looking for a labtop around 15'' for business use, but good enough graphics to run a game like League of Legends on full power. I was originally looking at the Dell XPS13. This would be mostly for business, Microsoft Office work, and multimedia. Thanks!

Your right about one thing, it doesn't sound like he knows what he wants yet. Therefore, it's a good thing he jumped to the conclusion of holding off and doing some more research, which is what he said. No need to call yourself an idiot DarkWraith. Alot of people here are experts, that much is...

I just recently unlocked my Phenom X2 and overclocked from stock to 3.7ghz. It appears as though the computer is running fine, and my temperature from the bios is at a very solid state. However, I am sure everyone here knows that one should always run stability tests after unlocking /...

Couple of questions real fast before I head home and do this today (Just finished hooking up all computer parts at work). 1. Where do I access the options to turn off Cool N Quiet? 2. Am I able to increase Vcore simply through my bios? I have a MSI 870-G45 AM3 AMD 770 ATX mobo. 3. After...

Everything looks solid, the only changes i would recommend are purely based on personal convenience. 1. Like Jacks said above, you could save some bucks if you were to find a case / psu combo. There are plenty of antec combos that are great value for the bang you get. For example, the Antec...

Thank you! That was exactly the kind of comment I was looking for. Going to go to MicroCenter after work today.

Right... right I understand all of that, which is why I am considering the Sparkle for its lifetime warranty. Was just hoping to get some personal comments on how the noise and heating is for the Sparkle specifically.

Been looking at the local MicroCenter deal for the Sparkle 768 Fermi video card. I know that EVGA is generally the more popular ones, and quite a few people have that brand already for the 460. Does anyone own one of these Sparkle ones, and if so, how does it run stock? Thanks!

I currently have all the hardware for my new computer set, except for the CPU. Based on my budget, I ultimately came down to between these two for my CPU choice: AMD Athlon II X4 Processor vs. AMD Phenom II X2 Processor The gaming of choice will be mostly SC2 and Diablo 3 when it...

Sweeet deal. Thanks for all the help Danny!

Ok how about now. Note : Changed back to WD HDD, Amazon Link for that and Kingston memory, and changed processor / mobo combo. 1. PSU / Case Combo Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Antec NEO ECO 520C 520W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS Certified...

My friend went to the store last week for his own computer (his project was one of the main motives for me building one this week). He said they were out of stock. I have called them and checked online each day for the last couple days, and they reflect what my friend said about them being Out...

The MicroCenter near me does not have anymore Phenom's in stock, let alone any Athlon's in general. From posts I've read, I felt that the Corsair was a good amount better and it's in store pickup, but I guess I was completely wrong in this respect, my bad. As for the HDD, i'll change it to...

"For personal reasons I'm actually going to have to budget the computer around or below the 600 dollar range." I'm assuming then that I will have to downgrade the Processor. I was talking to friends and they mentioned that the Phenom might not be necessary, especially since the main use of the...

Sold. I'll stick with the WD. Thank you.

Just wanted to post a message of thanks for the tips you gave me. You pretty much built my new computer. Kudos brotha!

Danny, thanks for the reccomendation on the case. Just for the sake of potentially saving money, what do you think about this case? Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042 There's this combo on newegg of...

Thank you. I found this local deal for a hard drive near by Frys. Seagate 500GB Serial ATA/300 16MB Buffer Retail Hard Drive Kit - ST3500641AS-RK http://www.frys.com/product/4697788?site=sa:Homepage:Spot1 For $44.00. Is there any big difference between the SeaGate and the...

Will I need any cooling or fans for the setup above?

Thanks alot Danny, much appreciated. Question, if I was to go with the Geforce GTX 460 (Probably 768 edition), would that be compatible with the other hardware you reccomended? Would the power supply be enough for the GTX? Thanks man.

Details are below : Thank you! 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Specified Gaming : For Starcraft 2 and upcoming Diablo 3. Nothing else in mind. Multi-Tasked Web Browsing Multimedia (Movies, Music, iTunes, VLC, Flash) 2) What's your budget...

I just saw the sticky, I apologize beforehand. Going to complete that first now.

Thanks for the tips. My monitor will be running at 1080p (1920x1080) when I'm surfing the web or watching a movie, but for games the resolution will be much much lower in tiers.

Am building a new computer and would like some reccomendations on the choices below. I would be using it mainly for SC2 and would like to be able to run at Ultra settings at a relatively high FPS. Budget is 800 dollars and below. I am going with a AMD x3 processor. Any reccomendations on the...

For medium settings? http://www.amazon.com/Republic-Gamers-G51JX-X3-15-6-Inch-Gaming/dp/B00361G0ZO/?tag=bdd-linking-001-20 Thanks.

Ok thanks. One more question, can I use any DDR-2 memory? I see theres PC-5300 and PC-6400 DDR2 memory sticks. Are those compatible with any socket as long as its DDR compatible?

http://www.frys.com/product/6047968 I was looking at the sticks of memory above, and it states that it is DDR-3 240-Pin. I currently am using a HP m9000T computer, which after doing research online states that it can use this memory : Dual channel memory architecture Four 240-pin DDR2...

I am currently using Vista, but will look to do a completely fresh new install (already have important files backed up on external drives). For the new install, I pretty much will only have iTunes, my web browsers, AIM, and want everything else to be pretty simple so I can run Starcraft 2 as...

That's great news. Already pretty much set on the 5670, but the required power was of some concern. Looks like I will be ordering the 5670 sometime soon.

Never a bad idea to upgrade the PSU to something of more quality as people have stated since power supplies are generally not too expensive. I can personally vouch though that those specs are more than enough to run SC2 on high. My friend has a computer that has all the minimum specs listed on...

Haha, well rest assured Hamish, I did not get the 4650. You don't have to tell me to be easy though, you should tell that to some of the other people here who seem to think I spit on there advice.

Your making it out like I ignored the advice on purpose. No one mentioned anything on the 4650 previous to my decision, so it wasn't like I went directly against anyones advice. Remember, it's only advice. In this case my decision at the time (remember I didn't get IT), was based on convenience...

I haven't checked yet, but I do know its' 350W given the specs given on HP's site. I assume it's really nothing special, probably generic since I bought it from a dealer like HP. I'll check after work today.

My goodness, can't say I appreciate the sarcasm. I haven't bought the card yet people, calm down. As much as I am grateful for all the help, can't say I appreciate the bunch of pointless posts that came afterwards so far. There's a reason why I posted my initial decision: so I could see the...

First off, thanks to everyone for there help. Not only did u answer my question, but the answers were very thorough and clear. I think I'm just going to pick up the HD 4650 from my local best buy for 90.00. It's smaller which is of a concern (I am using a hp m9000t). It seems the perfrmance...

How do the Geforce 200 series compare to the radeon 4000 series for generally under 100?

Thank you very much!

I am currently using a Geforce 8600GT on my desktop. I am thinking of upgrading to get better performance from Starcraft 2, but I want to make sure it's worthwhile. I have been looking at the Radeon HD 4870. Is that a good improvement from the 8600GT? What reccomendations do you have? I am...

Let us say just for these circumstances, I do not want to wait for shipping and would rather just pick something up straight from the store : Would the 9400 from Best Buy for around 50 still be much better than a 6600gt? Thanks again.

Hey all! Thanks for reading. I want to purchase Mass Effect 2, but the minimum specs say the video card should be at least a 6800. I only have a 6600 gt but all my other specs meet the requirements. I was thinking of buying a cheap video card to replace my 6600 just to basically play Mass...
