I want to spend a little extra money on some good headphones that won't break. What really frustrates me is that whenever I buy headphones the wire snaps under the rubber covering either near where it plugs in, or up near where it connects to the actual headphones. I don't want to spend a lot...

Alright, thanks. Though I'm now pretty sure that the reason my netbook failed is because that hard drive went bad. Oh well. It was fun taking it out!

My netbook just failed on my so I took it apart. Not sure if the hard drive works or not. It may just be the reason why the netbook stopped working. Anyways, I took the hard drive out and I'm wondering if it will work in a rig with a more recent motherboard. The hard drive is a Sata, but it's...

Yeah, I decided not to go with it. I'm just going to buy an ATX case down here and then have people bring the parts down one at a time. Going to take a while to collect all of them.

Yeah, I noticed that. Made me laugh at myself. Prolly just gonna scrap the Mobo or see if he'll sell parts only.

FX 8000 series, like an AMD FX 8350 processor or something.

So my opportunity to have all the parts for my rig shipped down to Ecuador sort of fell through. I guess I'm screwed as far as that goes. However there's a local down here selling a low range gaming rig with an 850 watt Poweram power supply with a gt610 graphics card and an i3. I might buy it...

Thanks.

Well the 6970 may be stronger than the 7850, but it's used vs new. I've always preferred new to used when it comes to electronics, because you really don't know how heavily the item was used or if it has any undesirable quirks. I think I'll probably just stick with this 7850 2gb for $140...

Well that makes sense. The reviews on the 7850 2gb I'm going with, people are saying they're playing bf4 on ultra, so I think it's good enough for me, and it's only $140. Though if the 6970 performs like you say (I'm going to check it out) I imagine that particular card should be quite a bit...

No they're in there, I just didn't feel the need to add them for inspection. SAMSUNG DVD Burner SATA Model SH-224DB/BEBE - OEM Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Do you know the difference between a DVI-D and a DVI-I? The DVI plug on these video cards doesn't say which, so I don't know which to get. Sorry for the multiple posts, btw. Alright, I think this is what I'm going with. I've changed up a few things, like getting a cheaper monitor. So...

Why a MOBO that has the 970 chip?

Well it aint a 7870, but it's new: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102998 vs the used 7870:http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-HD7870-DC2-2GB-Video-Card-/161147290859?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item25852084eb Both about the same price. What would you go with?

a 6970 is 7870 level? how's that?

My budget is $800 with monitor and a dvi cable included.

Now I know the 7870 will run games on high/possibly ultra. If I downgrade my FX6300 to a 4200, do you think that might be a mistake? I mean, can an FX4200 keep up with a 7870?

Thanks for the suggestion on the used GPU. I hadn't thought about that, lol. Well I like this monitor. It has built in speakers.

I'm currently trying to see where I can get lower priced parts so that I can get a 7870. Brand new it's $185. I forgot about used. Might be able to get a uses case as well.

I know I had all my parts chosen for a rig about a week or so ago, but I've since been forced to modify it do to a slight lack of cash flow I thought I had. Unfortunately I had to dumb down the rig a bit in certain areas. For instance I will no longer be using an R9 270x and instead will be...
