I'm considering getting a new gaming monitor to replace my ASUS VH236H. I only game on console which is why I'm looking at 60 Hz monitors instead of 120-144 Hz. Would the BenQ RL2460HT be an upgrade to the VH236H? Worth it? Does it offer superior or comparable picture quality?

I'm also in the market for a monitor for the xbox 360. I'm looking into the Dell U2312HM, ASUS VH236H, Samsung PX2370, as well as the Samsungs mentioned above. I considered the XL2420T, but the xbox 360 runs at 60Hz max so would it not be able to take advantage of 120Hz? In my research for...

Currently I'm using a 2006 Panasonic professional plasma TV (model TH-42PH9UK) for gaming on my 360 & PS3. I hope to pick up a 50" plasma next year - for TV, movies, gaming - if the quality improves from the 2011 models. I am also considering purchasing a gaming monitor for online FPS, which is...

^ Thanks for the reply. My mobo is either going to be the GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P or GIGABYTE GA-MA790XT-UD4P and I was thinking about using the Core Contact Cooler.

tecmo34, With the recent, although short-lived (expires on 9/5), special deal on the Corsair HX 620 for $89.99 after $40.00 MIR would you include it in any of your builds? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139002 Or possibly the Antec TruePower New TP-750 750W for...

I have a question. Why do the builds have different DVD drives when the price for all three drives is about the same. In fact the Sony drive in the budget build is the most expensive. I'm looking for a DVD drive to replace my existing IDE drive and wonder if I should just go with the Samsung.

My situation is very similar. I'm planning a new build and will most likely have it built by late September. I ultimately want Windows 7 as my OS, so buying Vista w/ free Windows 7 upgrade (cheaper than Windows 7 upgrade alone) or the retail version are options. Another is to buy the OEM...

Since I ultimately plan on using Windows 7 as my OS, I will most likely purchase Vista Home Premium 64-bit w/ free Windows 7 upgrade. Less likely would be the retail version. My plan is to install either Vista or Windows 7 Enterprise Trial with a bare minimum of programs, that way it doesn't...

Thanks for the info. So, my options are this, assuming I've purchased Vista Home Premium 64-bit w/ free Windows 7 upgrade: 1. Install and use XP Pro 32-bit and then format and do a clean install of Windows 7 upgrade when it is available. 2. Install and use Vista Home Premium 64-bit and then...

Currently I have an OEM version of Windows XP Pro 32-bit. My PC died so I will be building a new one. First off, is XP Pro 32-bit compatible with the AMD X3 720 BE or X4 955 BE? Do I qualify for the upgrade to Windows 7 from the OEM XP? If not would it be better to get Vista Home Premium 64-bit...

I will be building a new system and so far I have purchased a Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB drive. My original intent was to use only this drive. I'm contemplating using two drives, the first for the OS, games, and applications, the second for storage of music, pictures, videos. Will I see...
