    DVI vs. VGA vs. HDMI for ultra gaming?

    So I just had a crazy idea. Would it be possible to use dvi for visual output and then use hdmi for the audio? Or does it just make more sense to use component audio (I'm talking about 5.1 or 7.1 surround)

    Which RAM would you choose?

    Which Ram would you choose? Crucial Ballistix Elite or Corsair Dominator Platinum. Same Size, Speed, and CAS. Crucial is cheaper but are there reliability concerns? http://pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-memory-ble2kit8g3d1869de1tx0 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cmd16gx3m2a1866c9...

    Build Comparison Help

    I have been looking at an expensive gaming build for several months now (somewhere in the ball park of $2000); however, I am not entirely sure it is necessary to get approximately 60 fps (or greater) in games as demanding as crysis 3 and the witcher series at close to or at their max settings...
