Thanks, I mainly want this card to play skyrim and would prefer I be able to do that on higher settings with mods. Have you played it on your 4870?

Hello everyone. I have a buddy who is willing to sell me his ASUS EAH4890 and he's asking $140. Now I have been looking around but can't find out what the current price actually would be. Everything I find seems to be the cost from its launch. I can find other cards such as 5850's that have...

I was flipping through a magazine and stumbled upon this case. At first glance it look very "unique" to me but I like functionality over aesthetics. What do you guys think of this case? Are the features really worth $269.99? Does anyone actually own this case?

Okay I'll just go with a sandy bridge for a few years. Thanks for the help.

Ya a buddy of mine was telling me about the quadros. I understand their function but it just seems odd to me that they still don't preform on games as well as the gtx series. I would think for that much money it would do everything including your essays for you. :kaola: So what I'm understanding...

"You will be fine using a 2600k or even a 2500k for any CAD work (it will be CAD I am assuming if you are doing engineering). Dont invest in the x58 socket, it is being phased out and you will regret investing in it I promise. The 2600k in many cases is actually faster then the i7-extreme...

Sorry I just found out that tom's moved the thread to the systems, that's what you get for being a newbie to a site. And I was thinking of eventually "sli"ing another 580, so that should most definetly keep me around max settings for atleast 2-3 years right? Anyways about why the i7-2600k, I do...

So I've been kicking around the idea of building myself a PC. I think that I have come up with the final build and was wondering what you guys thought of it. I'm hoping that it will be able to play games on max settings for atleast two years and yes I did plan on buying a second GTX 580...

I am planing on making a gaming build and I am stuck on the which graphics card to buy. I'm looking at the ASUS Radeon HD 6950 EAH6950 DCII/2DI4S/2GD5 but I'm wondering how the ASUS GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) ENGTX570 DCII/2DIS/1280MD5 compares to it. If anyone has experience with these two cards...

These hybrid drives seem like a totally awesome idea so I guess we will both be investing in them. I don't know how to put faces on this site yet but if I did it would go here -> ___

Now instead of buying a SSD should I invest in a Hybrid drive? Seagate makes one for around half the price of the SSD I have listed. I know the advantages to SSD's but I really don't mind waiting a few seconds more for a hard disk to do the exact same thing. In a way I guess I answered my own...

Now I've got to ask the universal question? Could this run Crysis?

Is there anything you would personally add to it? Such as small things like cooling fans or anything like that?

Now here is what I came up with by combining both of your builds. Case: Antec Nine Hundred Two V3 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - $109.99 Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge - $224.99 Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel...

I thank you two for your feed back. I see that you two do have some differences in your choices but you also agree on some things. Now I'm really not in a rush to build a PC since I'm mainly doing it for Skyrim and that is about 7 months away. You guys have given me a good idea of what I need...
