    Building New System..

    Well, I'm potentially building a new system of my own (just need that damn wife approval). I am a firm believer of more eyes being better than a single pair. Does anyone see any obviously bad choices, parts that could be swapped for roughly the same price, or places to shave off a few bucks...

    New Sound Card Advice

    Recently purchased AKG Q701 headphones and although they feel a little flimsy for their price tag they do sound great. I'm still debating what to power them with as my Xonar DG is rather noisy and weak. I've been looking at various dac & amp combos but for 200$, a solid soundcard like this...

    First Gaming Build

    The only thing I have to say is that, that Western Digital 1TB HD is unusually expensive at $233. You can get a fantastic Western Digital 1TB Sata III on amazon for $160. http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Caviar-Internal-Desktop/dp/B0036Q7MV0/

    Low Power home server build

    The Intel Core i3-2120 would also be my choice. This processor is currently running in my rig, and I'm really happy with it. I was worried about it performing well, but it runs roughly as fast as a stock i5 if you're running games. Performs better than any AMD chip I've seen...

    Need to cut costs!

    Its hard to suggest a monitor with no more information given to us, but here we go! Mostly im curious as to what size monitor your looking for. Honestly I feel a 24 or above is pushing it alittle to far, as you almost have to move your head to look at it all. This HP S2031 20-Inch Diagonal LCD...

    SB : mobo for gaming

    The ASRock Z68 PRO3 GEN3 should fit you perfectly. It has several overclocking presets built-in bios, so you don't have to mess with settings by yourself. You just let it do the trick, and it pushes out max of your K series processor. My i5-2500k with this motherboard was easilly overclocked to...
