This is extremely irritating. When Seagate lowered their warranty to 2 years, I lost some of my trust in them. It wasn't too big of a deal, though, since we still had WD and Samsung which were both good. Then Seagate bought Samsung's hdd division, and now WD lowered their warranty. WHO DO WE...

Every since I found out that Micron manufactures at least some of their memory in the USA, I've told everyone to go with Crucial.

It would definitely be good to know the model number. If it's a standard ATX tower, then you could easily upgrade your power supply and get a high-performance card. If it's a non-standard tower, or slim tower, then you may actually have to a buy a low profile card.

Oh, AMD..... when will you finally catch up to Intel?

I'm perfectly happy with my puke color Asus board, thank you very much. :rolleyes:

Now Intel's getting smart. They need more budget processors to combat AMD. Granted, I'd rather have AMD catch up. Monopolies are bad.

I somehow doubt this. A lot.

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php IMO the 1100t still isn't a competitor for the 2500k. Doesn't anyone get what performance-per-core means? :shadedshu

The i5 2500k is a great CPU, but your video card will pose a bit of a bottleneck. You'll want at least a 5670, if not something better. Also, I recommend the Samsung Spinpoint F3 1tb for your hard drive: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cac... I've had it for about 8 months now (I...

Enermax does care. :p

I hear that Packard Bell is being made by Acer now. Great......:banghead:

Nice deal on the 860! :rockout:

You'd probably be better off going with one of the new Sandy Bridge CPUs. If you want to save ~$50, get the i5 2500k. Even with its lack of hyperthreading, it just about ties the i7 870. If you want a hyperthreaded, slightly higher-clocked version of the 2500k that costs a bit more, then get the...

You might benefit from upgrading to Windows 7. I think that DirectX11 is the first version to support GPGPU, which is the video card doing some tasks for the CPU. I may be very wrong, since I don't have Win7 myself, and I'm no DirectX expert, so someone correct me if I'm wrong. :)
