Been liking PoE a lot so far. Didn't play closed beta, but if you ever played Diablo, or Torchlight you will be right at home in PoE. It's not newbie friendly that's for sure which I hope won't be their downfall. You could play 30 levels thinking you are doing something right and end up farked...

The fact that the NRA lobbied so hard and won the ban back in the 90's should be plenty reason enough to lift the ban on research, and get some squints working on WHY the NRA pushed so hard for a ban on research. Chances are we'll discover some nasty results, but are we willing to actually make...

Wish there could some day be a Wasteland equivalent to Fallout. I like Fallout, but after New Vegas it got a little tired.

My wife plays it, seems to like it. Funny thing is she hates F2P games, and was saying she likes Tera because it keeps those types of players out who are disruptive and whiny.

I have a Crucial M4 128GB SSD, and my case doesn't have support for that size. Anyone have advice for a decent SSD mounting kit that works with a tool-less mounting case? Case I have: COOLER MASTER Elite 430

I got T2 for Lan play, and it's been a nice game for the family to play. My son, wife and I love doing multiplayer hardcore elite games as a survival challenge. We tried D3 and it sucked so hardcore.. I hadn't felt the need to grind for gear that badly since I player Everquest back in the early...

Blame Steam. It's ridiculously easy to hack the Steam valid game check, and simply put Steam in offline mode to avoid detection to play the torrents. If you make something too easy to do of course people will take advantage of it.

Black Ops Zombies was and continues to be the most fun I ever had in a FPS. Good to see TF2 take on a similar mode with Machines.

Ok here ya go OP. Under $500 for the parts you asked for: Motherboard: ASRock Z75 Pro3 LGA 1155 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157304 SSD: Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2CCA 2.5" 128GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148448 PSU: Rosewill Green Series...

If you are looking to upgrade down the line the CPU I might suggest going with Intel. Get a decent Z68 or Z77 board with an i3 core or i5 cpu and build up from there. You don't need that PSU to run this system, that's about 350-400w of wasted power. Unless you really plan on going SLI/XFire...

That would be fine. Do you plan on using 2 video cards eventually? If not you would be fine with something like this: CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027 Take the money saved there and get HD6870

I agree the H61 is getting to end of life. For $30 more you could get a decent Gigabyte z68 board combo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.987752 This article might help with your other question...

You can built a very decent intel i5 system for the range you are looking for. I built mine for $650 taking advantage of specials, and combo deals. You need to shop well, and try to avoid low balling yourself on cheap brands to avoid costly mistakes. Newegg will have some i5 combo with an...
