1) Ok maybe 5770 xfire outperforms a single 5850 but the increase in fps is hardly significant. So it's not wise to get xfire 5770 now when a single 5850 goes for the same price. 2) You'll be able to add a 2nd 5850 later on, thus beating 2 5770s, if you go 2 5770s now then you're pretty much...

40% in price for 15% more performance. In short, I don't think 5870 is worth it. Get 5850 and OC it... w/out increasing the voltage u can get about 830 mhz, now that's pretty close a default 5870 of 850mhz. If you choose to up voltage then your OC 5850 specs are higher than a stock 5870 !!! Of...

The same rams at newegg are 99$ With that extra money, u can spend an additional 10$ (@newegg) to get the Asus P7P55D-e Pro which is the same as the one u picked + it comes with usb 3.0 and you can slot in faster hdd's 2 x SATA 6Gb/s. You can downgrade the HDD to 1.0TB for a little more saving...

Hey all, I'd like some suggestions on a HSF for the following system: COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail 69.99 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137 ASUS P7P55D EVO LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail 219.99...

Was afraid the wishlist wouldn't work so I added the parts separately below it... how do people make the wishlist work? I very much like the mobo you suggested. The memory u selected is indeed better but I read in the OC forum that memory doesn't really give that much of a boost so that's why I...

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: after christmas BUDGET RANGE: 1200-1400 US$ SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: gaming PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg, tigerdirect, any canadian online suppliers COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Canada PARTS...

I saw a couple of videos where laptops are booted in 30secs with SSDs, pretty fast stuff! I'm wondering if anyone here has SSD, if so, how long does it take for your windows to boot and what's your pc specs? Technically, I could order the parts and build my pc but I'm waiting to see if newegg...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll take the P55WB. If nothing else, it'd like to have the option to SLI, faint as it is, and it appears to be a good board all around. You can't dual card with the intel p55wb

What's the total on this system? Everything is compatible. Since you're not Oc'ing or planning to dual card (your current mobo won't dual anyway), you really don't need a 700W PSU (500W is enough). However the OCZ is a really good deal. Oh well, I ust thought I'd pointed it out if u wanna...

I'm pretty locked into a 1280 X 1024 due to Desk restrictions and I'm ok with that resolution for now. If you won't upgrade the monitor in the next 2-3 yrs due to limitation then there's no point in creating a system crossfire/sli ready. All you need is a powerful single card. So you'll save...

I agree with going for amd 955, with the extra money you save you can get a better mobo for crossfire/sli and OC'ing. There are 2 great combo deals: # AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Model HDZ955FBGIBOX - Retail # 299417ASUS M4A79T Deluxe...

First one all, I agree that personal research and reading is important. It's your money, once you're stuck with a decision affecting your budget... in your case ability to dual card (1366 mobos) vs future-proofing (1366mobos) vs budget (i5-750) vs performance/price (i5-750). What I like about...

Good build while checking the system on newegg this popped out: GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD3L LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail $109.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128406 about the same mobo spec as the asus for 10$ less.

but the Antec 300 might have issues with the GTX 260 SLI as they might clock the HDD cage... Is it the same issue with dual ati 5770? I'm building a system with the antec 300 case and looking for the possibility to dual card in the future, but if the case is too small then I'll have to get a...
