Looks ok. Not going to be anything crazy, but is a decent system. You still need a hard drive among other things. I would swap out that cpu for this one for an extra 12$ or whatever the diff is. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103774

Dude, I would take the $915. Just built that brand new on Newegg.com for $805 without taking into account the $80 worth of rebates. This is including all in your spec list, and the G15. I didn't include a crt monitor because people give away those things on craiglist regularly. Windows isn't...

Yup, box shows 8600gts and the specs are remarkably 8600gts-ish.

If your not going to overclock and have the extra few bucks then go for the higher clocked one. 100mhz faster memory and 50mhz faster clock, worth the extra money in my opinion. If your going to overclock, I couldn't tell ya. Who knows which will clock better. Sometimes the factory...

Hmmm. I can't say exactly what it is without being there to test things but, I don't think it is your hard drive (at least not just your hard drive). Even without a hard drive you should still be able to boot up and get to bios. And while it is running if the hard drive had an issue and it...

For what you use it for, that is WAYYYYYY overkill. Unless you want to upgrade the games you play to brand new high end graphics games. For what you stated a 200$ used laptop would do all of that and even more. But if you want something thats gonna last a while and play new games decently...

I would try updating your drivers for your video card. If they are updated to the most recent, then try reverting to an older driver. Last time something like that happened to me it was a driver issue. I didn't understand taylors post, and oscar gave you a couple answers, so I am not sure why...

Sounds to me like a Port forwarding issue. Check which ports CSS uses and have your router forward traffic on those ports to the server's ip address.

The 8600Gts is a quite good card. Im not familiar with Point of View as a brand but if it follows the reference for 8600gts it is going to be a pretty nice card. The 8600gts scores around 5000 in 3dmark06, which is what my 2 x 7600gs hit. And those played most games at high settings on a...

If the game even supports SLi. I learned that the hard way on my old rig with 2 x 7600gs. Ran great on games that supported sli, ran ok on games that didn't. And ya, its not a perfect 100% gain, but you will notice a difference. Just depends on whether the cost is worth it to get 2 or to get...

I see what you mean. From looking at my 8800gts and looking at your pic, I can't say for certain, but it is looking like you going to hit that sata connector. The 8800gts pretty much takes up both slots all the way to the end of the card. You might just barely miss that sata connector, but...

The build Oscar did for you is a decent build. One thing I would recommend, unless you are serious about trying to really impress your friends...which after the first time they see it are just going to go "ehh" anyways. Drop the QX6850 and go for the Q6600. It will be such a huge increase over...

What do you mean by lost DVD? You also state that you put the cd in there and that worked also? Is the DVD player showing up as a cd player in My computer? That happens quite often actually. Especially if you tried to burn data to a dvd by trying to burn directly with windows. I've seen...

When you were trying to reset your bios, did you unplug the power cord?

The samsung imo. Cheaper, AWESOME picture, Its sleeker and nicer looking imo as well. Awesome monitor.

Without looking it up i am going to take a leap of faith and say the p4 3.2ghz HT processor is most likely lga775. The older p4's and celly's were socket 478 if i am remembering correctly. So if your hsf worked on that p4 it should work fine on the q6600. It is LGA775 as well. edit: Sorry...

I wouldn't go so far as to state my theory is completely incorrect, its not like the megagames link is any more reliable than the other hundreds flying around the internet that all say slightly different things. Description AMD announced the addition of AMD Phenom triple-core processors to...

Is that 2 x 1gb for 27$ ? Because most laptop manufacturers use 2 x 512mb sticks so to get to 2gigs you would need 2 new sticks not one. Just giving you a headsup incase you really wanted 2 gigs and you have to go back and order another one and have to pay shipping again. Just something to...

If they price it aggressively I think it will do well in retail portions of the market. For guys like us it wont do to well I don't think. But if they can put it in the price range of a decent budget, families will probably jump at 3 cores compared to 2, but may shy away from 4 due to price...

http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/33895/135/ Theres a link for you, maybe not the best, but im sure you won't be content with what I said until amd comes out for some reason, wants to look like crap and says, "ummmm ya, we haven't been hitting the market too hard lately, and we really need...
