    How big of an SSD would I need?

    I am looking to acquire an SSD for booting Windows 7 on and possibly loading WoW, LoL, and a few other games off of. What size would you say I need being that WoW itself is about 40-50GB? Also, what SSDs in particular would you recommend for me to look at? Thanks in advance. :D

    Booting Windows from an SSD

    I've heard people talk about booting Windows from an SSD to improve start-up speeds and then using their HDD for everything else, but I haven't found any articles that talk about this. I would appreciate if anyone would enlighten me upon this matter and give any advice toward actually executing...

    Help finish with first time build

    Case-wise I'd go with any of NZXT's creations. I myself own an NZXT Lexa S and am in love with it. It's really roomy, has a great cooling system (easily upgradible to liquid cooling if you want), has very efficient wire-routing, and it's only $80. Also, if you find yourself wanting to upgrade in...

    First Time Build - $600 Budget-Gaming Build

    Might I suggest switching from the Rose Will case to this NZXT case. The NZXT Lexa S is very roomy, has great cooling, and very efficient wire routing features.

    Eyefinity Setup Questions

    What I am asking is: What kinds of cords am I going to need to use to efficiently and effectively setup the monitors and whether to plug them into one or both video cards.

    Which video card should I buy?

    Other than great reviews and lots of recommendations, I like AMD for gaming more so than Intel.

    Which video card should I buy?

    Ok, so I probably won't be crossfiring my card then, but somone has told me to check out the 7950 with the new Zambezi 3.6 8-core cpu to go with it. I'm going to be upgrading my RAM to Corsair Vengeance too (It will still be 16GB total). Would all that work well?

    Which video card should I buy?

    I play Skyrim at High, and BF3, WoW, and Minecraft all at max graphics settings. I think I need an upgrade because sometimes my current graphics card can't hold up to the settings at which I play.
