It doesnt matter. All it does is help keep dust out. Its just there to look nice. If you dont care about having it, then thats fine. There arent too many negatives to not having the shield.

I used to own a 5850 and it was a beast of a card. Ran BF3, Witcher 2, Metro 2033, and everything else I threw at it at max settings (Without AA) at 1920x1080. So you cant go wrong with one of those. They also Overclock like crazy. I had mine at 1050mhz core clock (1.05GHz) on stock fans without...

Project Cars for PC. http://www.wmdportal.com/ Its a great game. Lots of the custom cars and they are modeled perfectly. Graphics are great and so are the mechanics. Edit: Project cars is more of a racing simulator as well. Similar to Gran Turismo.

You should be ok. I am willing to bet, that when your motherboard supports DX10, it has an onboard GPU which supports that. So as long as your GPU fits into the PCIe slot, you will be perfectly fine.

A DVD upscaled is HD enough. But yeah I dont understand it either which is why i gave my answer. OP, do you mean blurays, HD resolution on your monitor...what. HD content in general doesnt help much because there are a ton of ways to do that. Netflix for example, monitor for another, bluray is...

Put the DVD in the disc drive. Let windows media player do the rest.

Well i would go for an HDD for recording 1080p video because of the amount of space for the price. You can get 2TB on an HDD for less the price of a 256GB SSD.

Just wait until you start to see some 8k TV images. You think that 1080p is high def? You notice things in 8k that you dont even notice in real life. (Saw those 8k TVs at CES...Amazing.)

Wait for a deal. Newegg and amazon continually have 120GB SSDs for about $80 every other week or so. You can also get a 1TB HDD from amazon for $90 cutting the price you are paying down. Unless you plan on getting another SSD, a 60GB for boot will be annoying to say the least. Its so small...

Run Chckdisk on both drives. Boot and storage. Max Payne 3 could also be corrupted. I would reinstall the program.

Hard Disk problem. Open the "Computer" window Right-click on the drive in question Select the "Tools" tab In the Error-checking area, click <Check Now>.

I am having slight issues with it. I dropped down to the 301.24 Beta driver and was fine with that. For more stability you can get one of the 295 driver series until a good 300 series driver is released.

Just one of intels/windows means of saving power. If you play a game or anything then it should jump up to what it needs to process it effectively.

Download VLC Media player: http://download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-13632_4-10267151.html Its free, its awesome, and its arguably the best software free or paid for video playback. Ive never ran into any issues with VLC.
