MAKE A FREAKING BUDGET CATEGORY. Please.

I'l say it again and again if I have to: this needs a mainstream/budget category! For people that want to watch some movies, work some, play some and not be ripped of.

There should be a Mainstream/budget category.

A 970 would be a great choice. Zotac isn't bad per-se, but I'd recommend MSI, Asus o EVGA if they're in the same price range. Hope I helped!

Because of two things: 1) Since AMD is far behind in the performance department, Intel's been focusing on mobile devices (phones, tablets and notebooks) and on power efficiency. That's why the las few generations of Core processors only saw small incremental performance upgrades. 2) Games rely...

It certainly is. Not only you get much better performance and efficiency, you also get access to the most modern technologies like DX12, DSR, G-Sync, and such.

The GTX 970, without a doubt. It's newer architecture allows for much better performance and efficiency without the need of a wider bus.

I've seen that monitor, but it's not IPS. Is there a big difference in screen quality between it and the ASUS VN248H-P?

I'm looking to buy a new 24" IPS monitor for browsing, studying, watching movies and some light gaming. I'm looking to pay around $160 though I'd stretch a bit if it was really worth it. I've seen some nice models from Asus, Acer and a million other brands and couldn't be more lost. Thanks in...

I'm between one of these cards: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202099 or http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8967981&CatId=7387 I think I'll pick the monitor when I can see it with my own eyes, though I thank further...

I live in Argentina where imports are closed and I'm going to the U.S. in November and am looking for a new monitor and GPU. I currently own an LG Flatron W2753V from 2008, which is too big and pales in performance when compared to newer LED backlit or IPS displays. I think I'd want to buy a...

Hi, The different cores/virtual cores give the processor the ability to do things in parallel. That is, more things at the same time. On the other hand, the clock speed would be the speed of each core by itself. There are tasks that can be done faster when parallelized, and other's that can't...

The equivalent newest card from nVidia would be the 970. It replaces the 770 on it's price range but is better in every conceivable way. If you're gonna sell your 770 AND have got some extra cash going around, I'd recommend the 980. It's powerful, efficient, not-so-expensive and will support the...

The core i5 is, without a doubt, a better processor. Thing is, do you have a motherboard in which to put it?

If you're looking for a desktop, $1500 is more than enough for an above average PC. You can read this http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-your-own-geforce-gtx-770-sli,3709.html to get inspired. This would play ANYTHING probably at max settings for a couple of years. Hope it helps!
