Thank you all for your help. Couple comments from the wife have added to the build. Firstly her desk has a PC tray inside that a tower style case would accommodate. She also wants to add dual monitor support to the build. I like the Ryzen 2200 or 2400 options and B450 motherboard. I like...

I'm looking to build a PC for my wife that will mainly be used for internet, email, office applications, quick books, adobe pro, and other general none gaming applications. I would like a desktop style case that the monitor could sit on and a quality motherboard. I will have wired networking...

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison there beings how you have a 20", 22", and 24" listed. I agree with Maziar though of the 3 you listed the Samsung is the one I'd get. However if you wanted to compare a similair 22" from LG you might find them more comparable.

I don't know anything about OCZ but I can say that the Crucial Ballistix kits you were looking at going with are the exact same ones I'm using in my p35 ds3r MB. I'm using 4x1gigs with Vista 64 and didn't have any issues plugging them all in and installing Vista. I found mine at zipzoomfly...

I have the Zalman 9700 in my Antec 900 gaming case. I don't care about noise, obviously, and I'm sure there are others like me. I for one don't hear nothing when I'm gaming with 600watt speakers masking whatever sound is coming from the case. Also the Zalaman 9700 LED IMO is a much better...

Old P4 running a Gainward 5900 Ultra Golden Sample 256mb and the new Core 2 Duo is running EVGA 8800 GTS KO 320mb. Been very happy with both cards.

Just taking into account the graphics card options, the most important part of a gaming system, is usually very limited for prebuilts, the homebuilt gaming system is going to be more flexible to your budget and personal requirements. Oh and if your literate and are willing to read...

So far for my system running vista 64- FEAR, Half Life 2, 2142, Everquest2, Bio Shock and Itues have all ran with out problems. The problems I've had have been Command & Conquer and Yahoo Jukebox. I'm sure there are other programs with out Vista support but, I'm going to guess here, that the...

Of course the GTX is better. The GTS 320 I have currently is running FEAR, Half Life 2, and Bio Shock with everything on at 1680X1050. The resolution you game at is definately a consideration of what card you use, based on what I've read from other posts here on THW's forums.

I am currently running the p35 ds3r mb with the e6750 with 4 gigs of 1x4 crucial ballistix ddr2 6400 and the 8800gts 320 gfx card. No problems with long start ups at all in vista 64bit and I've had no problems what so ever with any part of the build.

Finished Bioshock with out any crashes with Vista 64bit.

I just built my P35-DS3R system with the 6750, 4 gigs of 4X1gig crucial ballistix, running vista 64 bit and I've had zero problems. I've done some small overclocking and haven't had any problems at all. The MB also resets the bios if you do make any errors when overclocking which is nice if...

I just recently upgraded to a p35 mobo from a p4 3.06ghz and I can say that for me it was like riding a bike with training wheels on when gaming. With the new core 2 duo and DDR2 memory, I'm saying wow alot in the games I'm playing because all the eye candy is there. So although it may cost...

Got the computer build in mid August and I've had some time to run through some games and do an overall test of the system. Firstly I'll update what I ended up with as far as configuration. 1)Antec 900 case 2)Gig p35ds3r MB 3)intel 6750 cpu 4)4 gig crucial ballistix 4x1gig memory 5)EVGA 8800GTS...

Howdy I'm moving on from my aging deminsion 8200 and building a C2D comp. I live in Alaska so I can't purchase my components through newegg, and so I've found zipzoomfly.com to ship up here with a reasonable shipping fee. That said if anyone knows of any other online retailers that ship to AK...
