    eMachines too small PSU?

    I had that happen in an older computer a while back. My computer kept telling me that it wasn't getting enough power, which was odd because the specs said that it didn't need any additional connections from the PSU. Step 1: If you say this wire "isn't" hooked up to the fan like it should...

    How to SLI 2 gtx 260

    Your right, I'm mistaken. I had to double check my own power supply. So Yes, I would go with the 750tx, or if you want a modular power supply go with the 750hx. Modular: a power supply that you can actually plug in/unplug the cables you want/need. It comes with all the cables, but you are...

    Upgrading to a stronger Gaming Rig! Help?

    from whats been said above, I would upgrade your computer that you have now. Take the Intel CPU, PSU and GPU that Drenlin mentioned and upgrade that. That would be the best, cheapest and most efficient route to go. The memory on the graphics card doesnt correlate to the RAM at all!! Your...

    gpu that is semi future proof

    I didn't even know msi had that card. I think you should get it, it would be awesome to have :) Its cheaper than both as well.

    gpu that is semi future proof

    It's just been legendary for it's overclocking and magnificent game play. But, a lot of people like the 5770, i think the fact that it has DX11 sways them, which shouldnt be a reason unless you specifically want to play DX 11 games. the 4890 can still play them too.

    upgrading my video card

    Those two cards are the best you will be able to choose form for the sub $200 range. The 5770 is cool, new and future proof. It's performance is "okay". The 4890 will by far knock every card out of its way in the $200 range. even the 5770 and gtx 260. I had one and it was incredible, anyone...

    Video Card Advice

    Its pretty long, the 5850 is shorter. Your motherboard will be fine, but depending on your case, it might reach into your drive bays a bit. for $80 more, the 5850 is faster, future proof, consumes less power, and is small enough to fit in most cases. I highly recommend it. I went through the...

    Video Card Advice

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125294 The GTX 260 is great, but if you want wait for the gtx 300 series like mentioned above. Im an Nvidia fan as well, but I put a lot of research in and for $300 the 5850 is the best card... its seriously insane and it has directX...

    How to SLI 2 gtx 260

    Im using the 650tx, its a great PSU, but it doesn't have the right connectors it only has 2 8pin PCIe connectors unless I'm mistaken. The reason I picked that PSU is that it is highly recommended and has the right connectors/efficient.

    computer wont boot on first try, restart then system recovery..?

    Mine did that when the Ram was bad. Try taking a stick or 2 out (depending on what you have) and see if that works. good luck:good:

    How to SLI 2 gtx 260

    For a Gtx260 you need two 6pin connectors, so for two gtx 260's you need... 4:) This power has 4 PCIe connectors 2 are 6 pins and 2 are 6 pin plus 2. There is enough Amperage and watts to SLI on this power supply. It got great reviews of how efficient it is. and for the price, I think it's...

    which video card for around 50$ dell e510

    I had this exact card for a while and it ran great. Played Wow a lot on it and some other games, but nothing like GTA IV. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143101 This next one is a step up for around the same price. A bit more but worth it I think...

    Turbo button vs. BIOS oc

    Im new to overclocking too, but I have been told that OCing through your Bios is safer and healthier than software. doing it through the Bios will let you know if it is stable or not (through blue screen of death or not) and then test it with a game or something. I have been told that software...

    Official 3DMark06 Rank Thread

    My temps are around 35c give or take. It usually runs at 31c. pretty cool for how far it's clocked. Doesn't even jump up too much in games. I have been online all day trying to learn how to overclock my cpu so I can up my score and a bit.

    Official 3DMark06 Rank Thread

    Not much of a score bump up, but this is with my new 5850. If anyone can help me, I have no idea how to overclock my cpu through the Bios, this test was by only overclocking the gpu.

    5850 Overclocking

    I am using MSI Afterburner right now. Ive tried rivatuner and what not like everyone else say to, but it's garbage and to big complex for a simple fix. MSI after burner is great, simple and clean (you can also save profiles as well, and set them to start at different times). idk about you...

    critique my gaming build

    If you don't have the money, or want to save a bit. The Corsair 650 watt is plenty of power to crossfire the 5770. It has a single 12volt rail that is amazingly stable and powerful. Im using it in my rig right now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005&Tpk=650tx

    New Build..Opinions

    Umm, im not sure what a 5790 is?? but the build looks amazing so far. For a graphics card, since a 5790 doesn't exist, Get a 5770 or 4890 for $170 or if you want great performance/future proof, get the Asus 5850. It can be overclocked past a 5870 and still stay under warrenty thanks to Asus'...
