    GPUs

    Hey can someone tell me if this would be a good GPU for gaming? Or maybe there is one that would be better? I'm looking for good, relatively cheap, and longevity in the gaming industry. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150530

    New build frustrations

    Alright, I wasn't sure about the PSU because I don't really know enough about them, but it was just a thought. Yeah he was lucky that he found the bent prongs before he put it all together. And that may not be it, but it was just an idea because it would definitely screw up your computer. And...

    New build frustrations

    Well I'm not sure what the recommended power is for your graphics cards that you tried, but it could have something to do with your PSU only being 600w. If I am wrong, I hope somebody corrects me. But that is one thing I noticed. Also, have you taken the computer apart and checked all your...

    Lower Price?

    Thanks, I haven't looked around for pricing or anything, as I am not building this really really soon. I just have gone of newegg right now. Thank you for the recommendation, as any money saved would be awesome.

    Lower Price?

    Yeah thanks, I'll try to do that. I already switched my list to the 64 bit. By the way, I think my RL friend tried to get the $30 windows 7 from his cousin and it was just an upgrade, not the complete version. Maybe he tried getting it a different way, but I just remembered that.

    Lower Price?

    No, I am not in college yet. I am just finishing my Junior year. I know it may be a little early to begin talking about college computers and stuff. But I plan to go into Computer Engineering and want to start learning as quick as possible so that I'm not an idiot when I go in. Thanks for...

    GPUs

    Well yeah I know it is the best. But I'm trying to keep my build low cost. I wanted to know if it was worth it to get the 6950 2GB now, or to get the 6870 and crossfire it later?

    Advice needed for upgrading my setup for gaming

    Well the number one thing you probably need to upgrade is your graphics card. Depending on how good you want it to be, I recommend any of these(mind you these are just the type/speed, I'm not necessarily saying that this brand is the best): 6870 1GB 6950 1GB 6950 2GB In upgrading your...

    What CPU is good for Matlab/Solidworks?

    Well I don't know about those programs, but I do know that there are plenty of graphics cards that have 2 ports to be able to have dual monitors. Although I'm not sure how expensive you will have to go for two ports, or there may be cheap ones that have it. I am working on a gaming and extreme...

    Good/Bad Combo Deal?

    Thanks for the suggestions, I think I might just be getting the NZXT Tempest EVO. It has like everything I want, even though my RL friend already has it.

    Good/Bad Combo Deal?

    Oh thanks, I like it, but I'm trying to find one with a side panel window. I like being able to see my components and LEDs. Any good cases in that aspect?

    Good/Bad Combo Deal?

    Oh alright thanks for the advice, I ended up finding this case. I'll definitely check out the other PSUs to see if they look better

    Good/Bad Combo Deal?

    Yeah I know, it would just feel a little weird, I don't know. I might end up wanting it.

    Good/Bad Combo Deal?

    Yeah, it is an awesome case, but like I said, I just don't want to be a copycat.
