I built my rig about a year ago and a half ago. I thought I was having issues with my video card (EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 580) but exchanged it a couple months ago, and haven't had any issues until a game installed last week. Ive been getting some random fractals now and got a couple...

I guess thats why a lot of the reviews on Newegg have people complaining about the RAM only coming in as 1333MHz until they set it in BIOS? The i7 looks like its native 1333MHz as well. Other than my CPU and abundance of RAM do you see any issues? Im not set in stone about the MB but I do...

http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0354589 Under "Memory Types Supported" It lists these: DDR3-1066 DDR3-1333 Does this mean that if I get DDR-1600 RAM that it wont be supported?

Hmm ok that sounds good. I guess Ill drop the i7 for an i5 2500k and drop the ram to 8gig. Do you know if there are issues with the Motherboard and the GPU combo?

Oh and thanks for the reply!

If I go with an i7 wont that help in the future not having to upgrade that aspect? IE: hyperthreading? Noted on the 1.5v RAM. I was considering doing 16g due to the extra $50 is not a big deal to just have it. I might run fraps down the line. Would it help in that regard?

Ok so here goes. About to set in stone this final build. I would like thoughts on Mobo / Ram / Cpu choices. Im going to really only be using this for gaming and possibly watching movies. I dont want to upgrade for a couple years. Are there any suggestions? Im about to pull the trigger on...

I also picked up the PSU. Is there something Im missing with this build? Is there really a huge advantage to buying an I7 if Im not overclocking? Im looking for a compatible Motherboard with the I7 but there are so many choices. Anyone have any recommendations with SLI'd 570s? Should I look...

Approximate Purchase Date : This week. Budget Range : N/A System Usage : Gaming Parts Not Required : Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, Monitors, Case, HD, Windows Preferred Website : Newegg.com, Microcenter Overclocking : possibly SLI or Crossfire: Thinking SLI for dual 570s Monitor Resolution ...

Objectives: Ive been grabbing pieces and parts for a new build. I want to run some FPS shooters and not have to worry about an upgrade for some time. I also play Wow and have an older setup that works pretty well right now but it just outdated. I have a 24inch in windowed mode for wow that...
