    guidance needed on new TV tuner card

    I have an HP 1250, why do you say it is only for Analog? Please explain what you mean by digital since the Hauppage site says this works with digital and my card works with digital OTA HD TV? I think it is the best option for the money. It does "everthing" the 1850 and 2250 do. It comes...

    Great build. Unless you want nvidia suround I would also recomend the GTX580.

    $1200 dollar gaming build. critique. AMD

    It is kinda painful to see an AMD build with 1156 and 1366 being faster. Plus 1155 will be out next month and AMD has new things coming. ASUS for a 3 year GPU warranty to any owner. I have Sapphire but would not buy again, same GPU but warranty to the first owner. The 6870 is new but will...

    Best 6GB dual channel kits?

    Dual CH DDR3 kits are either 4 or 8GB that I know of. OMGA, I use both, 1156 is a good socket.

    Gtx 470

    NO. You can buy a new GTX470 FOR $299 (or less). Get ASUS, 3 year warranty to anyone. This helps resale value to those in the know. XFX is a 2x lifetime warranty but there are restrictions. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121372&cm_re=GTX470-_-14-121-372-_-Product...

    Completely new build

    I would buy a 1156 i7-860 and get a faster GPU. It is as fast as the 1136 and you can save money. You dont need a 1000w PSU with any of the cards you mentioned. +1 on the Corsair or Kingston rec. Get an ASUS E-PRO MOBO and a sound card. USB/SATA 3 plus SLI and CF if you want in the...

    gts450 meets/beats 5770?

    I agree that the 460 1gb does offer a good value. Heck, I see the XFX 5850 new is $239 on the egg now because of the 460. 5770 > GTS450.

    gts450 meets/beats 5770?

    If the 5770 is 30fps and the 450 is 20 they are within 10 but they would not be close. Such as with the Crysis benchmark. The gts450 is a head scratcher. Not much of a reason to buy it.

    what are 2 gtx 260 in sli comparable to

    It runs between the 5770 and 5830 ATI cards. Oh I just noticed you have one already and want SLI. That makes this a tough choice since I would not buy a gtx260 for a primary card but to up your performance... I am over the 2 card CF/SLI thing. BFG is out of business and what happens if you...

    dual gtx480 not 460's.

    I am worried about the heat on a singe 480! Heck, I returned my 470 due to heat and nvidia people think this card runs cool.

    Need suggestions

    5-10% is close when you are talking about $550 vs $1000+ So yes, close.

    Need suggestions

    Get a ref 5970 they are very close. This one is $550 with rebate. Personally I would just get one 5850 and wait for the new 6 series to come out. One GPU over 2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161335&cm_re=5970-_-14-161-335-_-Product

    Evga $300

    1. I would not buy the GTX470, well I did and then returned it. 2. If I was going to I would buy it would be ASUS now that their card it out. Since I wont keep it for a lifetime their warranty is better at 3 years to anyone = resale value. EVGA to the first owner only. ASUS GTX470 $289...

    PCI-E 16x vs. 8x

    ASUS and EVGA both make them with the NF200 chip. The best 1156 MOBO in my op in the ASUS E-PRO, 8x8 with SATA 3 and USB 3. Price considered. There are better MOBO's for more $ http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0325863

    PCI-E 16x vs. 8x

    There was a good test posted on OCN comparing the GTX480SLI at 16x and 8x, NO diff. Edit, heck. look at this 4x4 test http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/08/25/gtx_480_sli_pcie_bandwidth_perf_x16x16_vs_x4x4 16x16 vs 8x8...
