The features that are going to help gaming. Gold plated connectors for the gaming port (PS/2 and USB) and another great feature is the Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2200. Technical specs you wanna look for is how much MHZ it will support on the RAM, as well as enough SATA III (6Gb/s) to support any...

I recently just upgraded my setup with a MSI Z77a-G45 Gaming motherboard and MSI GTX660 OC Gaming graphics card. I'm looking to add another graphics card w/ SLI. I'm just not sure if my PSU will support it. The connectors are there (this 660 only uses half the connectors my MSI GTX460 OC2 used)...

From the best I can tell.. The factory Motherboard of that HP only has Gen2 PCI-E and anything past a 5(00) series GTX needs gen3. I haven't been able to find any model numbers for the motherboard or specifics on it from my quick internet search.. but seeing that model came factory w a 260GTX...

I've grown unhappy with my motherboard and have decided to replace it. What's the best LGA1155 Z77 for gaming under $250. My board is pretty much the weakest component in my current setup Currently I have Tower - Zalman Z11 Board - MSI H61M-E23 CPU - Intel i5-3450 Memory - 8Gigs Corsair 1333mhz...

do you need the mSATA? Do you plan to OC? there's the question right there. If you want to do some very simple and basic OC'ing then I recommend the MSI (I personally run MSI motherboard and graphics card. I'm new to OC'ing and it seems to work great for me.) If you need the mSATA port then go...

your computer has a CPU with a LGA775 socket in it. That new motherboard's socket is for LGA1155 (intel i3/i5/i7) So on top of the new board, you would also have to purchase a new CPU and Memory (RAM) do yourself a favor. Buy a decent mid-tower, a good H75 chipset motherboard (several newegg...

MSI Pre-Sell support just got back with me (wow that was fast! lol) They confirmed that the CPU will swap straight over no problems. Any input would still be appreciated. What memory to run or maybe a different board?

Ok. I bought this computer back in November. I was on a tight budget ($700) and this seemed to be a good deal. I hadn't been keeping up with computers since about 2005 so I wasn't 100% what I was getting. (Got a lot better idea now of what I got.) Tower: Zalman Z11 M-Board: MSI H61M-E23 (B3)...

So I got an OCZ Agility 4 for Christmas but today I found out that my custom built gaming PC does not have any Sata III (6Gb) connectors on the motherboard (not what the builder told me). They are all Sata II. Well I have 4 connectors and 3 devices. Is there no setup to use 2 Sata II (3Gb)...
