wait.. other devices.. I don't even have the Playstation Suite on my Xperia play yet..

isn't the Phantom's the water cooled ones with the gorgeous radiators?

well yes, that's why I am all about going with the Gainward stock card. the price increase for the other cards aren't worth the difference in performance between them over there.

no, really - you are comparing an oc card vs a stock in price. the "Golden Sample, or Goes Like Hell" are Gainward's oc'd versions. but again, the gains vs price over there makes the Gainward 570 with arkham city a more affordable solution. List of all GTX 570's from that site...

well. He's comparing an overclocked MSI Twin Frozr III to Gainward's (aka Palit) stock 570. so that explains the large difference in price. the Gainward OC cards are inline with the pricing of the MSI.

I tend to like the twin frozr III over the Gainward, but the gain isn't great enough to pass upt 173 dollars in savings. So I will say go with the Gainward, they've been around a decent amount of time, and are said to have good customer service... well the same customer service as Palit hardware.

wait.. are these the stock reference versions? you aren't linking which cards you are comparing.

For the most part, most places will say that the Alienware M17x is the top of the line for gaming laptops. but come with a hefty price tag. But there are so many other gaming laptops out there, pay a little extra to get the 1920x1080 display and such and it's sitting at somewhere around 1900...

Well, I got the parts and put it together a couple night ago (been spending time at the hospital with my dad so it took a bit to finally post and give kudos to those whom helped me make my decisions.) It's running relatively smoothly, with the 920 running at a nice 30-32 per core idle and maybe...

I read up on the cases and the HDD's and looked at the prices and swapped out what was suggested. The tool kit and the other misc was on the bill before I just didn't add them to my list, but It's up there to show what else was added to the bill. Does this look a little better than before? the...

I still have time to cancel the order, it's still in processing, so if there's major flaws I'll back out of the order.

Well, it's been a little over 4 years since I did my last system build, and something is making me think I am forgetting something for this new build so I'm posting to verify / get critiqued. I thank Tecmo34, Proximon, and JBakerLent for thier stickied post for getting me on my way. Purchase...

Well, going over the specs of my motherboard I was wondering if it's good to go with: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231122 for the memory upgrade. I'm still a little wary of what GPU to go with. Since I already have a NVidia gpu, I'd like to upgrade it along the...

Thank you very much for your quick reply! I'll get to looking up parts.
