    Intel dual core

    The pentium G620 is more than enough for a 6850. Both are powerful enough that it will not bottleneck each other. You're good to go.

    In need of advice: Is 300W enough?

    Definitely will cause problems one way or another. Red voltage switcher indicates an oudated design with no active protections. Rails indicate 300w is the highly optimistic outlook. It is at best a 250w unit on a very good day. Not enough to run a 7750 at all with any confidence. Here's a few...

    Got a new 660 and now the computer makes a noise and shuts down

    The rosewill is far better and I would get that if you only had these two options. Fortunately, you have more. Here's some more options. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027...

    Your thoughts on this PSU please

    You're questioning Seasonic, the maker of some of the best power supplies available for purchase and the base models for numerous other companies that sell psu's like Corsair, XFX, Antec, etc, and then link to a Seasonic X650? The Seasonic X series is one of the most well reviewed power...

    Need help with Idle Temps for i7 950

    That looks about normal. My i7-920, when i had the stock cooler, loved to idle in the low to mid 40's (winter/spring/fall) and low 50s (summer) and gets up to mid 60s/70s under load. You can run it above the recommended temperature no problem. It may reduce the life of the processor but it'll...

    Noob Question but help me choose a PSU

    The Seasonic X series is one of the highest rated and highest quality power supply lines out there in the market. The X750/760 is underrated for the amount of power that it can give (tad more than 1000w's) out stably. It's fine for any and all single or dual gpu configurations out there along...

    Seasonic x 660w

    a Seasonic X650/660 can pull well over 900w on the 12v rails and still stay well in spec. The X750/760 and the x850/860 can pull well into the 1kw range and still stay in spec. You'll be fine.

    H77 vs Z77 vs B75

    Get a H77 or if you're on an extreme budget, B75. A Z77 is wasted since the main point of it is overclocking and your CPU is not capable of overclocking. A good H77 board is just as good as a Z77 equivalent so just get a H77.

    Great pc around $600

    Reduced setting but it'll play them. Power supply... not so much.
