    Custom Computer

    Not exactly sure when it came out, but it's not very old at all. I bought it new a few months ago to power my GPU.

    Custom Computer

    Thanks. I didn't see that combo. Okay here is my updated list. Total: $758.93 + $1.99 S+H. I do have a Power Supply right now in my current case that is 550W. Is the extra 100W going to make a big difference or could I remove that from my current list?

    Custom Computer

    Okay those are the parts that I have, considering that I already have a case and other peripherals ready at home. I would still need an OS.. I'm running Vista right now and I definitely liked XP better. Any suggestions on that? I may want 64bit to utilize more RAM in the future.

    Custom Computer

    Cool, sounds good. Is there alot of applications that can utilize 6 cores versus 3-4 cores? I wouldn't want to buy something and have cores wasted. Although I'm not quite sure how that would work.

    Custom Computer

    No. I have a keyboard and mouse ready to go. And I'm fine with my logitech speakers. I also have a relatively decent case. It's Thermaltake Mid-Tower. And I have a 550 PSU, not sure if that's enough for an upgrade though.

    Custom Computer

    So for $700, I could build a computer more powerful than that? I already have a Radeon HD 5770, which I like pretty well. Could you recommend me some parts? I'm looking for something that is going to be able to handle multitrack recording and VST usage with relative ease.

    Custom Computer

    I'm looking to buy a custom computer that has a faster processor and more RAM so I can edit audio more efficiently. I ran across a craigslist ad that has a custom built computer for 700$ ready to go. ASUS P5K Premium/WiFi-AP Motherboard Motherboard Information - ASUS.com Intel Core2 Quad...

    Vista Internet Security Spyware

    Well I got Kaspersky and I'm trying to install it and the av.exe keeps opening up and blocking it from installing. Kaspersky just keeps asking to restart my computer. This spyware went away for about a day and now just started coming back. It keeps lying dormant. This is annoying. I've tried...

    Vista Internet Security Spyware

    I never clicked on any "free antivirus" ads on the internet but my computer is now infected with an executable that loads up when I try to do anything. Luckily it doesn't restrict me from accessing my processes and registry. I am now in Safe Mode, running Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware and AVG 8.5...

    Need help with a card.

    I just now purchased the Radeon HD 5770 (typo) and installed it. I removed the other GPU's drivers and disabled it entirely. I installed the Catalyst drivers for my new Radeon. The Catalyst Control Center keeps telling me: "No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not...

    New Case

    Preferably a full tower case so I will have more room inside the case to fit parts. ATX factor. Quiet fans. Color doesn't really matter to me, but definitely something that would look sleek. I don't care what brand it is as long as its a quality built sturdy case. Price range- no more than $150.

    New Case

    I recently purchased a GeForce GTX 260 and the thing is huge. I know I'll be needing a new case to fit this card with my Motherboard. Preferably a large case with plenty of breathing room. Any recommendations? I've been looking at the Antec 900 Two...

    Audio Comp

    I'm delving into the world of computer audio recording. I've bought a new condenser mic and I need to get an audio interface. Firewire is faster than USB, and my current mobo doesn't support Firewire. I thought about getting a simple PCI card to add Firewire, but the case I've got is so small...

    That's a good deal right there.. how fast is DDR2 800 in comparison to today's high end RAM?
