sounds good. I think i will be going with the corsair. I would have liked a modular cable system but i will live. I have read nothing but good reviews about any corsair PSU. Thanks for all the help that you guys have provided.

i know that the QX6850 seems pricey but i can get a deal on it. See, this years Intel Retail Edge program will be having them for $249. That corsair PSU seems nice though. Any other recommendations?

I am building a new computer and i am currently looking for a new PSU. I will be getting the QX6850 and also when ever the 4870 series come out i will think about getting a 4870x2. I know that we dont know how much power they will draw but any guesses will be fine. Here are the 3 that im looking...

damn, mabey i should have gotten an 8800gt. But they were overpriced back then so i got a 3870. I put an accellero S1 on it with the turbo modules. It is overclocked at 860/1250 and im only getting about 30fps.

I was going to update my ati driver to the new 8.1. I uninstalled the old ones and when i restarted it wouldnt show any video past the windows loading screen with the scrolling bar. I tried using a regular PCI card and it seemed to work fine. The PCI-E card that im using is the HD3870. I have...

a little update on the issue. I have the card overclocked to 850/1250 and it runs better than before but i still get some freezing. Now i ran ati tool artifact scan for about 2 hours and at the end the temps never passed 46c. So now i am wondering what is holding me back from overclocking even...

I bought an Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 VGA Cooler for the 3870. I got it on and everything seems to be running a lot cooler. When I have the card overclocked to 872/1201 games just freeze. For example, i can play call of duty 4 for about 20 minutes and then it just freezes. I have also flashed...

I have a sapphire 3870. I want to get an after market cooler for it. The 2 that i am looking at are the Thermaltake DuOrb and the Arctic Cooling Accelero S1. I dont care about the noise difference between the two. I just want the best cooling i can get (except for water). thanks for any help.

if anyone is interested eWiz has a sale on 2900 pros. $256.89 free shipping - http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=AT-29PRO51

thanks for the advice. So you think the Dominator is overkill if im not overclocking? interesting. I will wait to purchase the CPU because i can get it for cheap on intel retail edge. and you are right, i will not be overclocking at all. once again, thanks for the advice.

I currently have a ASUS A8N-E with 2GB of PC3200 ram along with a AMD x2 4600+. I plan on upgrading to: RAM:http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=85026-4&prodlist=pricegrabber CPU:http://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch.hmx?SCriteria=BA23383&CartID=done&nextloc=...

i have the same card and i game at 1680x1050. I played need for speed most wanted at that resolution and it was still playable. Barely any stuttering. I do think that you might have some trouble with newer games though.

I am going to be building a gaming computer soon and i need some advice on the best performance i can get for my money. All i need is a new video card (i currently have a x1900xt 256mb), some new RAM (2GB or more), a motherboard, and a new CPU. I have a 20 inch monitor and i game at 1680x1050...
