You could go the route I would take, and get two 7950's off ebay for arround $200, and crossfire them. That would be the most cost effective. Otherwise, if you're scared to get anything used off ebay, just get a r9 290 off newegg.

Come on man, did you even attempt looking at the posts a million other people made about this?

Either one would be fine, since mechanical hard drives can't take advantage of sata 6 speeds anyway, just connect them to the sata 3 headers and call it a day.

Although it might be possible to replace your laptop's apu, I wouldn't do it. Right now you have almost the best apu available for it anyway, and the only difference between the a8 4500m and the a10 5750m is 600mhz. You wouldn't see much improvement in any games. If you want to do something, you...

You could go for this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3x0IQ It has decent specs, but it would be best if you could spend an extra $50 to go for the r7 265. Its a great deal, and much faster than the r7 260x. Other than that, you could change the case depending on what you like, and the memory...

You don't even need to replace this cpu, you can bump the fsb up to 1333 from 1066 by just putting a very small peice of electrical tape over a pad on the cpu. I've done it to my core 2 quad q6600, and it runs at 3ghz up from 2.4, on a motherboard that doesn't even support overclocking in a dell...

So my buddy has a mid 2010 macbook pro 13" with the 2.53ghz core 2 duo, 4 gigs ddr3, and 9400m with 256meg vram. He wants $500 for it, but it also includes apeture, and final cut. I was thinking of dual booting with windows 7. My other option is a laptop with an amd A8 15" with 6gigs ddr3, and...

So i've had this computer i biult that has been stable for some time, but even at stock settings, the power button doesn't turn on the machine unless i repeatedly turn on and off the switch on the power supply, and keep trying until it works. Nothing turns on for the first few minutes of...

the case i have doesn't have enough room for more than a single slot gfx card, and my budget doesn't allow me to get another card to xfire with.

i'm biulding a steam box in the lian li pc q03b case, and i am having trouble picking between these two apus. The 5800k i can get off ebay for cheap, like $80, and i can get the 7850k new for $190. The mobo i can get for the 5800k is also $65 on ebay compared to $100 for a a88x one off newegg...

I had been using the psu for a while with this system, and it had been working fine. It is 675watt, so it definatly has enough power. I think it may have just failed because it is low quality.

Hi, i've been having trouble with my system right now, it has been shutting down after being powered on for about 5 minutes or so. Then after it shuts down, it won't power up and POST except if i leave it alone for a while, then try again. The only things i think could be wrong are the psu, mobo...

Unfortunately, the dedicated VRAM in a laptop is soldered to the motherboard, and the gpu is non removable, so you need to upgrade to a desktop to be able to change out your gpu.

it is a 675watt diablotek psu, not 80 plus unfortunatly, but still more than enough for what i have

Hi, I've been considering upgrading my old Athlon II X4 620 to at least a fx 6300 or phenom II 955 or 1090T. I want to know which would be worth my money more, as i have upgraded everything else in my system, and this seems to be the next logical choice. My specs are: Gigabyte 970-d3p mobo 2gbx4...
