Whats dx11?
Dx11 stands for DirectX 11. It's a sort of software API that games run on. It's made by Microsoft, and there's been a new version of it in the past few versions of Windows. XP has DX9, Vista has DX10, and 7 has DX11. With each version, games look more realistic with cards that support it. The Radeon 5000 series and the Radeon 6000 series support DX11. The Geforce GTX 400 series and the Geforce GTX 500 series also support DX11. OpenGL is the open-source alternative to DirectX.Whats dx11?

I am fairly certain that Tessellation allows for more triangles to be used while making an object. All that really does is give you a better quality image. The developers can put a lot more detail into their environments.
OMG, who told you that Corsair PSUs are cheap???? They're some of the best! They have no idea what they're talking about.I kinda find it hard to believe thats a cheap PSU when newegg reviews are smashing!
16gb!? What are you going to do that requires that much? Take it down to 8gb at least. If this is just a gaming computer you only really need 4gb.
+1 for Corsair having great power supplies.
It depends how you define "cheap." Some people like to buy really fast RAM (eg. ddr3 2100MHz) for when they overclock, but in terms of quality, Micron makes good RAM. I've been using some Micron memory (see sig) for quite a while now, actually. If you don't plan to overclock your CPU, then 1333MHz is as fast as your ram can go anyway (someone correct me if I'm wrong.) If you do overclock your CPU, then you'll benefit more from 8gb of 1600MHz RAM than 16gb 1333MHz.Its Rendition micron memory. Is that cheap ram?
Check this link:Cheap as in low quality. Does anyone know the requirements for max settings on crysis?

So that's what DMI is all about. Thanks for the correction, I've still got a C2Q.Actually, on current AMD and Intel setups, there's an integrated memory controller on the CPU with its own multiplier, while the base clock is the same as the CPU's. You can run nearly any RAM at its rated speed without overclocking the CPU.
