  • Ok I see how that maybe an advantage.  Since this build Im working on will mainly be for gaming I may not see the reason for throwing down $300 for a SSD at the moment.  Maybe in a year or so when prices level off.  Thanks for the info, I keep learn…
  • How much of a denifite is it to store your i.e. fav game on a SSD?  Ive looked into these and prices are through the roof for them.  Is it really worth the $$$ for the performance gain?
  • Quick question here... What is the differance between a SATA and a SSD?  What are specific application uses for each?  Thanks all...

  • Im going to have to get new keyboard and mouse anyway so might well upgrade things to 3.0 USB now.  Still need and optic drive which i hardly ever use so not looking to break the bank w/ that purchase.  Right now im just shy of $1k which was exactly…

  • Thanks for catching that socket issue.  Im liking that PSU especially for the price, seems to provide more than enouogh power.  As for still needing optic drive and case, Im wanting to get the major components set before I start looking into those, …
  • Hey thanks for all the input so far!  I guess posting the hardware Im looking at using will better help make sure Im on the right track...    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284 - HD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pr…
  • Originally posted by SeriphinX I don't think I've seen so much pre-hype hatred towards an mmo than this one.  Going with me my usual logic of 'what the masses hate, means it's probably worth investing in'..I look forward to this game.   …
  • got to remeber something though, even the best games out right now dont even touch the capabilities of top end GPUs.  so spending hundreds on a 295 is kind of pointless imo seeing as youll never use the total capabilitiy of the card.  but we all wan…
  • thats the card i think im going to go w/ now.  i cant wait ot get home and start my new build.  its changed so many times in the last month.
  • yea they are but if you dont want to upgrade for a long time they are the way to go.
  • i misread that.  if your going to splurge go for the 295 is the best out there right now.  plus you wont have to upgrade for a long while.    really depends on what your looking for.  even the top end games right now arent utilizing the full cap…
  • the thing to remember is that some GPUs require a specific amperage other than a sufficient wattage.  the Toxic card is a real good GPU.  check the specs to see how many amps it requires, especially if you plan on CrossX or SLIing later on.   th…
  • what version of Vista you have? Vista 64 needs at least 4GB RAM to run smoothly, it idles at 1.5 GB. need to make sure your PSU can suport dual cards. $100 isnt much for a GPU nowadays. what kind you have currently and can it be sli'd or Xfired?

  • looks like my build will look like this now since the AMD PhenomII x4 955 BE is sold out at newegg.  i also decided to go w/ a nVidia GPU.  so heres the options now: NZXT Guardian 921 CS-NT-GD921-B Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Item #:…
