oke, q6600 actually overclocks perfectly well. Just large fan, as it heats up too quick. looking at gtx660. 770 is grand, but a bit too pricey and probably not really necessary for me. def upgrading my psu. checkout this one - 850w bronze...

ok, so here's the two I'm looking at right now: GPU GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-4GD GeForce GTX 770 4GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125462 PSU FirePower Silencer MK III 750W 80Plus Gold PPCMK3S750 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4H81E87008 Any red...

Thank you Oke, for a prompt response. That GPU definitely looks grand. Added to cart. Please ensure me that PSU is sufficient. How do you figure? How (and why) do I overclock my 6600?

My dear geek friends! It's a beautiful mid-summer beach/camping/kitesurfing/notsurewhatelsetodo time, and definitely a time for an очередной (not sure how to convey this adjective in English) PC upgrade! :) What I have now MB Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS4 (2 PCI, 3 PCI-E x1, 2 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2...

great! thank you.

Thank you for your response! 1. Yes, I figured I should get the slower one and if needed OC it myself. 3. I have a good Antec one with a solid 12+ rail. I'm not exactly sure how to find out this info in detail. 4. I guess I'll just go with the smaller heatsink ones. They are the correct...

Dear Forum: I'm considering updating my current PC a little, and ran into a couple of fairly simple questions. I would appreciate if anyone could share their opinion on these 4 points: 1) Comparing the following two video cards GV-N66TOC-2GD and GV-N66TWF2-2GD...

Nice, definitely a 20$ cut. Thank you.

Thank you guys! So I did some thorough research and came up with a few updates: CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K BX80667i73770K 8MB L3 Cache, 3.50GHz (3.90GHz Max Turbo), LGA 1155, 77W, Fan, Unlocked http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2372989&Sku=I69-3770K A few...

a drop from i7 to i5.. and RAM latency is 9, I was hoping for 7 or at most 8.. but it's definitely a great deal! half the price!! :good: Thanks!

hm, okay, shouldn't be an issue, as SLI only needed for games, and they are single screen anyways. I hope it won't be a pain in the neck to switch between SLI/non-SLI (no hardware tinkering involved!) and here's a nice article that relieved me from worrying about x16 and x8. Apparently it...

spirit, x16/x16/x16 - that's a triple SLI you are talking about??? I wasn't even considering that. Honestly, I didn't even know about it till now, when I looked it up. Apparently even quad-SLI is possible. Gosh, sky is the limit! wolfeking, I need to find out whether x16/x16 or x8/x8 matters...

wait, so SLI can't work on x16? So does it mean that by adding another video card, I'm dropping the bandwidth of the first in half???? That's some shocking news for me actually. Is it a motherboard/chipset limitation? Or all SLI are like that?

I agree with you, that's why I'm starting with a single one for now, too. It's just thinking ahead, for a quick upgrade in the future - throw another GPU in and keep rolling. ;) G1 Assassin is great, but not cheap. And again that would put us back to LGA 2011. Which I'm almost convinced to turn...

wolfeking, hahaha yea right 500$!!! But I got the point. It's just that I just read a bunch of scary stories of how a bad PSU can fry the system. So after allocating 1k+, I want to make sure my PSU is sufficient and reliable, that's all.

The GA-Z77X-UD5H motherboard you suggested has x8 on the second PCI3.0 - could be a potential bottleneck for SLI in the future, no?

ok, clear on the MB and CPU, thanks! I personally have been using Gigabyte so far myself. Just recently started considering ASUS as heard that they are a bit more expensive but more reliable. But I will research GB too. Now, does that mean I should be looking for a Gigabyte Video card too? I...

spirit, thank you very much for your response! Overall MB and CPU I agree with you. No OC planned, thus just a fan should be fine, too. CPU: 3770K is actually 30$ more expensive, but overall I like it better for double the feedback, better Turbo, and most importantly 22nm tech, which means...

Dear Forum: It is the time (once in 4-5 years) for my home PC to get a boost up. I was hoping to get a decent machine together, avoiding insane expenses. So here's my pick: Full list: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=18051351 1) MotherBoard: ASUS...

that's exactly what i need. the problem is tho, if i format the drive, then i will need to boot from a CD. and the one with WinXP Pro DOESN'T BOOT!! :eek: and i don't know how to make it
