My friend(I know what that sounds like...) wants to use a lan-box for his portable rendering rig and playing counterstrike at tournaments. He does all of his work with adobe products and wants to hit the threshold of 144hz. He is willing to sacrifice the image quality of counter strike to be as...

I hope you have asked customer support before posting on this thread. I would not want to suggest anything to you that could void your warranty :) They problably know more about their product then most people.

I don't know about availability in Australia but here is a contender its about 220$ Aus

I have favored your cards since the 600 series, but you are this black hole of patented technology.

Cases are a personal choice, but the corsair series imop suffocate the intake fans. Fractal design leaves a generous amount of room for airflow

I never thought that something that pulls such few watts could be so loud!! Since my assumption of coil whine is wrong, what exactly is coil whine?

I would bump your budget up to 120$. If you set the budget too low, you are doing yourself a disservice. Since the $ to performance actually starts to increase[Not good!]. if you increase your budget, you leave your options open for a 750 ti or a 270x. If oyu have to stick to that price the i...

A new desktop pc is in order, but is it worth it going after a dead socket? Lga 775 hasn't been touched by intel in a while...
