    Post Your Desktop "Background screenshot"

    Where'd you find that photo at? I have an App on my Dell Streak called HD Wallpapers and that is the current wallpaper I'm using on my phone!

    Making A Few Upgrades

    Corsair does still make some of the best PSU's available, so you're good in that regard. I haven't heard anything bad about EVGA, but I have no personal experience with their products. Depending on what you're using this rig for, that 2600K might be a bit overkill. If you're just using it for...

    Help! Is there any free registry cleaner; or, free thing to speed up PCs?

    I use CCleaner by Piriform as someone has already suggested. Just google CCleaner and download the free version. It will delete all your temporary/unnecessary files.

    Upgrading Dell for a friend

    A 5770 with a new power supply like johnb suggested paired with that CPU will allow him to run most games at high settings. He will probably see it struggle with maxed out settings on some existing games and games coming out in the near future, but the 5770 provides great "bang for the buck"...

    I Want My Keys To Type Like They Are On The Keyboard.

    Lol.... The whole "people buying Macs" comment just rubbed me the wrong way, no hard feelings meant by it!

    Power Supply upgrading system

    For your m8530f pretty much any decent PSU will have enough power hook ups for your various devices. Like the previous posters have stated, it is important to get a high quality brand of PSU when upgrading (HP is known for using poorly made PSU's in their prebuilt PC's. The HP computer I had...

    Replace Processor too?

    You can probably buy a used PC with better specs than that for $100 or less if you look around. Try searching craigslist or ebay. I don't even know where you would look for the correct mobo and cpu to fit in that machine. Whatever you'd find would probably be used and you never know what...

    New CPU or GPU?

    I would also agree about the CPU being your bottleneck. I also have a 5770 except mine is paired with a quad core CPU (and one of the crappier quad cores at that!) and I am able to run most games at high settings with no problem. With new CPU technologies coming out, I would not spend your...

    New PC Build, Any Changes Suggested?

    Probably a typo. Build looks really good! That should be quite the machine, what are you going to be using it for?

    Recommend a Unique Game for me? I do not seem to enjoy normal Recommendations.

    I would consider my tastes similar to yours and I've been playing Left 4 Dead 2 for some time now. Very fun game to play online! There are a lot of different options when it comes to gameplay but it's a simple game to get and very entertaining. It is fairly priced as well.

    PC Build Future Parts

    I think 6GB of RAM would be sufficient. I'd maybe look at a better HDD too if you can afford it. The Samsung Spinpoints are pretty popular. You can get this one for $30 off with the promo code...

    Best free antivirus?

    I have used AVG for 2+ years and have always been happy with it. I recommend it to family and friends.

    Seeing your FPS while gaming

    The two main games I play are CS:S and Left 4 Dead 2. Are you aware of any console commands for either of these games that will show FPS?

    Maybe it's time the phones have their own forum

    If the phone section on CF were to be broken down into subforums like Android, IOS, WebOs, and WP7 it might be successful. I tend to agree moreso with johnb on this, CF is not ready for a phone-only forum.

    Java Thread

    Question for you savvy Java folks. I have dabbled in programming in a couple different languages (C#, VisualBasic, and C++) and I would really like to learn and understand Java well enough to write a program to solve a complex problem. I'm interested in Java for several other reasons as well...
