And youre saying it worked with 1 RAM stick installed. Have you tried with both sticks or just the one? To elaborate, Id like you to verify that both of the sticks, when installed individually, will get the PC to boot.

I dont see any reason games bought in India wouldn't work. Just make sure your relative keeps that PS3 in his carry-on baggage (ie on his person). If he leaves it in his suitcase Im willing to bet money you wont see it ever again.

Usually around $70 if youre looking for a price estimate.

I've never heard of Kingmax, so that may be the first concern here. Hardware functionality aside, you should reply with what motherboard youre using specifically,, how many DIMM slots it has, etc. Mobos tend to be particular about which slots you use when employing multiple sticks of RAM. Also...

I own an Extreme4, Im happy with it, though I have yet to purchase an unlocked processor to OC. Per their quality and OC-ing, you can refer to Tom's own article http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-intel-amd-motherboard,3902.html In addition to that article, I seem to recall another one...

With your processor I would opt for a higher end GPU. You could accommodate the cost by selecting a cheaper motherboard. I think the Asrock Z97 Extreme6 would suit you well, while still being suitable for overclocking.

Its my opinion that you don't need a joystick for realistic; I play it almost exclusively and believe being on a joystick would be to my disadvantage. Mouse aim works fine. If youre adamant you want a joystick, Logitech Extreme 3D is a good buy at the $25-30 range. Very nice, heavy base, bit...

What game mode are you looking to play? Full real sim battles or realistic, or dare I even mention... arcade

Impatient it is :P. I think you'll be happier for longer with the 970, long as you don't get buyer's remorse over the added cost.

For that price I wouldnt be very interested in the 290 at this point in time. The 970 price is just meh as well. I myself am looking for a GPU upgrade and its my opinion that waiting a few more months until the release of the AMD 300 series release will help me snag a good price. Whether you...

At the moment, there's not much point in SLI-ing a 970 on 1080P at 60 Hz. If you have a monitor that runs at a higher refresh rate, go for it. Otherwise, I'd hold off on that purchase. In general, I've read that the 970 performs well in SLI.

Definitely not. You can only SLI two Nvidia cards or Xfire two Radeon cards. There is no interface for different GPUs. Usually there are also limitations within AMD or Nvidia GPUs; some architectures cannot SLI or Xfire with others. Eg. A HD 7850 and a 280X

The AMD 300 series is allegedly coming out early 2015, Ive seen Mid Feb or early March. Even if you are not interested in the 380 or 390 themselves, their release is likely to drive the GTX 900s down a bit. I myself am hoping for a sub-$300 GTX 970, but maybe the new AMD line will convince me...
