I could really use some help, I'm trying to find some good memory to use for the rig I'm trying to put together for gaming. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cFZTqs I used to be convinced I needed the newest and greatest by getting the x99 mobo and relative components but everyone said that was too much...

so I'm planning on getting a GTX 980 with plans on x2 for SLI in the future. my dilemma is which GTX to get? I've done comparisons at newegg.com and pcpartspicker.com but everything is nearly identical. I figure there is one or two guru's out there that could lead me in the right direction for...

will this card run or support 3D gaming or videos?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3jHP99 this is my dream gaming set up that I plan to get in march of next year. most of the parts will be purchased over black Friday/Monday. what should I change? I plan to do regular and 3d gaming on a 4k monitor.

So its official, you are all better at this stuff than me :) I'm looking for the top 5 best full tower cases of all time! Please explain why you think each one is so amazing. Don't forget to factor in size, air flow, style, and use of water cooling and all that jazz. There are no rules to...

which is better? Intel Core i7-4960X Extreme Edition 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor OR Intel Core i7-5960X 3.0GHz 8-Core Processor I've been comparing them side by side but everywhere I look they're darn near the same

thanks for all your speedy responses. its obvious I have no idea what I am doing. In response to all of your responses, my plan is to make this 3D capable. I kind of want to stick to intel i7 cpu's and I really like the asus x99 motherboards. I plan to make the most of the clear window, so looks...

Hi everyone. So I'm getting back from a deployment with a few extra $$ in my pocket and I really want to build an elite gaming desktop. I don't want to say my max budget is $3k but that's the price range that this thing is looking like. I'm a dum dum when it comes to this kind of things, so all...
