  • Your MB is a Micro ATX, most of your mid ATX towers will have the mounting for it. This also allows future expansion to an ATX format when/if you choose to upgrade. Judging from the cases you have available at that site I'd go with something like th…
  • Originally posted by Ridelynn Nothing against HP laptops (well I do, but it has little to do with this thread): HP is in the process of selling off their consumer PC division. This will include their laptops. Now it hasn't been sold yet, but th…
  • Originally posted by Quizzical Regarding Tewyn's build: Nice cases, but you don't spend $140+ on a case on a $1000 budget that needs peripherals, too. There's no need to grab such a low end, feature barren motherboard that can barely handle the …
  • A power supply from 550-650W would be plenty to power the 560. However, all the Palit 560 cards I've seen require 30 amps to the video card. Your card does have 2x6 power connectors correct? Are both of them plugged in? If so, have you switched them…
  • While I don't consider myself to be a monitor expert, I can say I have never heard of the manufacturer Edge that pirate had linked. On your budget I would be looking more for something like this Asus 24" with 1080P,HDMI, and display port connections…
  •   Did you buy the monitor as well or is this a monitor you've had and it's known good? If you know the monitor works then chances are PWN is right on the money. You either have A: a cheap power supply and it's not pushing enough power on your vid…
  • Your build isn't horrible. A few reccomendations I'd like to add. For your budget it would only make sense to add a SSD. you will certainly notice a large differance in performance. If you don't want to add an SSD I'd still replace your 500 GB HD wi…
  • Bish your comparing 2 differant laptops. The one his talking about is the g73jw. Yours isnt bad just an older GPU which is still pretty good for a laptop. And im sure does make some noise with the 2 hard drives in it lol.
  • Originally posted by Sillver Originally posted by MisterSr I turn on my computer this morning, it had a strange blinking light, and all the sudden this deep grinding noise is coming from it. I try to turn it off from the front button but it w…
  • Antec also makes some dependable power supplys. But wear and tear over years they are bound to give in, it's just the nature of the beast telling you its time to upgrade lol.
  • Very interesting how in depth you went with that, all supported by numbers and facts. I wasnt aware nvidia was having issues with the 460. What exactly do you mean by sandforce? is that a brand or the technology? Aslo i was implying putting the ssd …
  • Wow... Are you all only reading the first message and not the rest of the story? He can't get the computer to post... Obviously its not the hd. I'm fairly confident in saying the grinding noise was from the fan on the psu as it fried.
  • For the OP, i personally own this laptop MSI GX740-235 and its well worth the money. Like you i had a budget and have needs to move this laptop almost daily into work. It has a very powerful GPU for a laptop and a good CPU. Solid build and after a b…
  • I personally just bought this laptop MSI GX740-235US and i love it. It's got a slightly faster CPU then the other MSI laptop they're linking for another 50 bucks Putting it at 1199 an 17 for shipping. Its fast, quite up until a bout an hour of real …
  • Originally posted by Catamount In all honesty, it's hard to recommend building at all right now when Southern Islands looks to be literally about 8 weeks away (it's slated for an October release according to the latest news), and both AMD Bulldozer …
  • I just got the MSI GX-740 for 1200, it has the I-5 450, and the 5870 in it. Pretty good deal for what i needed it for.Doesn't run to hot while gaming and has what i believe is the second best video card in a laptop right now. For the guy saying gami…

  • The motherboard is a decent MSI. Here The Power Supply is a cheap Xtreme Gear. Here
  • Case = 75 Proc = 210 Cooler = 75 Memory = 90 GPU = 200 MB = 100 PS = 100 HD= 75 CD Drive = 20 Sound card = 0 Networking card = 0 OS = 100 Speakers = 20 This is almost an exact cost of the components you selected pricing off…
  • Originally posted by Broomy I bought a NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT for about $100.  It has about 1gig memorey and I can play pretty much anything I want with it.  Anyway that's my two cents. I have 2x GTX 260's in SLI and have issues in most of the …
