Hey folks! I am looking for a laptop primarily for gaming. Size and weight are irrelevant, but I do want to run game and media like a monster and be able to have tons of tabs open at once. I also want thing to last me five years without slowing down significantly, and DO NOT want a Lenovo...

I have external backup drives I use for large storage, and I don't keep many games on my PC. My goal is to have everything nicely sorted away from my OS so I don't get things dragging it down, no extra processes, program's files don't get tangled with the OS's etc. etc. Most partitoning advice...

Hey guys! I have a 500 GB SSD internal hard drive. I set the OS partition for just over 50 GB. I plan to partition it like this: Have another 50 GB partition for my favorite games and most used programs A 150 GB partition for programs and other games, or 75 GB partition for programs and a...

He's expecting to spend at least $1,000 on the laptop. I think the price range is $1K - $1,400. Although more easily portable is preferred, size is at the bottom of the list. The screen should definitely be more than 720p--a high-res screen is probably what we'll go for, and thanks for the...

So how many PCI-e should a mobo have, then?

I'm building my a computer for the first time and thinking about using water-cooling system. Silence is one of the goals for the PC as well, and I'll be running applications like gaming, Photoshop, and especially Dragon NaturallySpeaking & Tobii Eyex fairly extensively. I just can't stand how...

So what should I look for in terms of expansion capability?

I'm looking at this motherboard, and I was wondering if two PCI slots will be enough. What are PCI slots used for, and how do I tell how many PCI slots I need?

What's the difference between the mobo and Video cards you and Under Attack suggested (and how do I tell, in general, what to look for?) I assume the 7200 RPM HDD is just for the convenience of internal storage, whereas I could just geta larger SSD if I wanted? If I go with your build is it...
