Hi guys, I am contemplating a new PC build but wanted to know what you guys thought. What parts do you think are holding me back the most right now? Can I get away with recycling my GPU on a new build or do you think that should be upgraded as well? And lastly, how much of a performance in...

Thanks guys. So is the price increase between the 7550 and 7700 worth the increase in performance?

Hey guys I am posting on behalf of a friend who just bought a desktop and is looking to upgrade the video card to do some gaming. Here is the PC: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883113089 I would assume the biggest limiting factors would be the PSU and maybe the size...

I just watched a Newegg Tv video on GTX 660 TI performance benchmarks and the evga was much hotter in each game than the dual fan cards, as much as 17 degrees in one of them. I may end up going with the Galaxy.

Does anyone else have any input as to which brand is best

Does the evga one still have decent cooling even though its the single fan blower design? I think the rest of the ones I've seen are all dual fan

From reviews of the GTX 660TI. They made it sound like unless you have a really top of the line CPU, you won't get all of the GTX 660TI's potential. I also read that the 660TI is extremely poor with AA and Tessellation. Is this true?

Heh.. I just made a post and the same thing is happening to me when I try to view my thread, strange.

I currently have a Sapphire Radeon 7850 but its giving me some problems. I am going to return it soon. My question to you guys is, should I get another 7850 or should I get an EVGA GTX 660TI and then sell the game code it comes with to make up the difference in price. I've done a bit of reading...

I don't know how else to describe it except for a grinding/ticking noise... and my card does have dual fans, aR3alCoo1Kat.

Whats the room temperature? Idling at 37 degrees sounds quite high.. My room is about 75 degrees Fahrenheit and it idles between 26-29. Even during long / stressful gaming sessions of over 4 hours I believe the highest I've ever seen my go is around 55F. Although I have had some problems with...
