    Need major help here

    well its drastic, but if the problem is really what you suspect it is, and there is an actual problem with the HD hardware, then there really is not much to do other than either sending it to a data recovery center, or fixing it yourself, the best thing I can throw out there with my current...

    I have roughly 200-250 $ to spend on storage for my computer, what would be the best combination; one good SSD or 2 or more hard drives, I do not plan to use a dedicated RAID card.

    Don't know much about vid cards...

    I would get this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150316 none of those games are too bad, except maybe if you are running FSX, which can eat up resources in a hurry.

    Rather Interesting Question

    2 gtx 295s, no doubt, the gtx 285 core would have to be more than 30% faster than the cores in the GTX 295, also the two GTX 295s would equal a greater total frame buffer amount. the gtx 285s would run out of frame buffer first if the resolution and AA was pushed too hard. btw, the link you...

    Is now the right time to buy a SSD?
