Thanks for the quick response John. That is also the modem I was leaning towards, I've been mostly stuck on picking out a router. If I decide not to get Wireless N, I'll definitely get the Linksys. Here's the question, to anyone, should I get wireless-n? I do a lot of downloading, sometimes...

So I'm moving in a couple of weeks and I'm getting Comcast's Blast Plus bundle. It says I'll get download speeds up to 30Mbps, so with that in mind, can you guys suggest a good/decent/reliable modem and router? I just want to make sure I don't overspend and buy a modem/router that's overkill, or...

I did a little research for you, and, unfortunately, the only option you have is to send it in to HP to have them upgrade it. This is the thread I was looking at from the HP support forums. The last post says he was able to send his DV7 in and have it upgraded for $75. Other than calling HP...

Well, I submitted the order and it should arrive sometime next week, thanks to those who gave me feedback. Can't wait :cool: The changes I made were for the PSU(HX1050), the RAM(Ripjaws X Series), and the Wireless Adapter(Linksys Dual-Band). Specs: Case: COOLER MASTER HAF X Mobo: ASUS...

Thanks skidude, those were actually my second choice, but I was weighing between having 1.25v RAM or RAM with lower timings. As for the PSU, I know that 1000w would be more than enough for what I have, but when I start thinking of SLI, overclocking of the CPU and GPU, and eventually adding...

Hey guys, this is what I have lined up: :cool: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=17289052 = $2200 after tax + shipping A couple questions: 1) Are there any other parts I should get? i.e. extra fan for the case, extra wires I may need, adapters, etc. 2)...

This is my first time learning of Photonic Processors, I had to look it up. That is seriously amazing, but I wont get my hopes up. If I start seeing photonic processors being sold on Newegg ten years from now, I'll be foaming from the mouth :D Five years from now though? "on the verge of...

Ten minutes ago I typed into google, "computers 5 years from now", to see what I'd get. Only one forum popped up, and it dated back to 2006. So, if you're good with math, "five years from now" in 2006 would be 2011. I found it really interesting to read where people thought computer technology...

Yeah, I saw that right AFTER I made my post :P Well, once he figures out where he's buying from, he can use the lists as a reference for parts :good:

I hate to tell ya, but you left out the Operating System, so add $100 to your total price, and after tax+s&h, add another $100, this puts the build at just under $1500 ;) So with a $1500 build in mind, check this out...

Download CPUID's Hardware Monitor if you haven't already. I normally leave this open and sitting in my taskbar. It shows what your temps are presently, and what your lowest and highest temps have been since opening the program. http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

Here, build this: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=20904107 After tax+s&h, it should come to a little over $1500. The hdd I chose, I own, and trust over other hard drives, but that's my personal preference, choose whatever hdd you want/trust. Everything...

Remember, it is summer, what's the ambient temperature(room temp) around the computer? Because my Dell laptop is dual-core and idles at 50c with a ambient temp of 39c(89f), give or take, and idles around 40-43c at night. Your temps dont seem to be too much higher than mine, so it could just be...

The 8gb memory jonnyp11 posted is very popular on newegg, you may want to check those out. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226191 As for going with Radeon, check out the Radeon 6870, it's performance is essentially the same as the 560 ti, and is cheaper. Also, try...

No problem dude, I didn't think you were picking on my build, I just disagreed with what you said...and still do :D I'm not going to drag this out any further though, I've made my case, it's up to Tank373 what he wants to do now lol

The computer you built is good, but is definitely not better, and not the best use of $1000. You have to look at more than just the performance aspect, and look at reliability and future-proofing. You opted for a cheaper power supply and an SLI setup using two mediocre cards on a micro-atx...

Here, I put this together for you: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=24093808 This is what I would build myself if I had a $1000 to put towards a gaming computer. They're all quality products by reputable companies. Its CPU is very fast and great for...

Nice, +1 to that!

I'd definitely go with the iBUYPOWER if I were you. Six-core CPU with overclocking potential, decent GPU, 2TB storage, and water-cooled. The type of water-cooling kit on their requires very little to no maintenance. Look up the Corsair H60's maintenance requirements, it's the same type of...

You can build a decent gaming computer for $800, but it will be nowhere near what you're thinking. And I'm guessing that it's a gaming rig you want to build, so if you're looking to play most of today's games at their highest setting, plan to spend at least $1200. Here's a computer I put...
