I have been doing research into building a good gaming pc for under $1000. These are the parts I am currently considering. Do you all agree with my choices? (Its meant to be a good all around gaming computer for minecraft, fallout, and some high end RTS games on standard settings or higher.) •...

as the title says i read sapphire's website and it looked as if it might but i didn't think the r9 270x could do that http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/product_index.aspx?pid=2038&lid=1#

Added SATA HDD to system with a SSD. Setup and working well but when i connect an external HDD the new HDD disappears. If I disconnect the external HDD and reboot the new HDD reappears. Have I set it up incorrectly?

A was thinking to buy an R9-280X but I was freaked by how many RMAs in the user reviews at newegg I was planning for Gigabyte R9 280X OC Rev.2.0 My question is, How long will the card live for 10 hours/day (4 Gaming, 6 Idle) usage with overclocking ?

I currently have an A8-6500 and a GTX 660. It bottlenecks really bad when I play BF4 (Low 40-70FPS). So if I take the Gigabyte GTX 660 2GB Windforce x2 OC out the current build and put it into a new one I'm building will I get better framerates due to eliminating that CPU bottleneck? I will be...

From benchmarks I have read, I am getting pretty low performance. I'm not extremely concerned because i'm still getting around 50fps average without any dips on ultra, 1920x1080. Im using a 144hz monitor so getting the higher frame rates does make a difference. Specs...

I recently bought a GTX 780 Ti. I noticed that it requires +42A on the +12V rail. The PSU I'm using has four +12V rails each rated at 40A and I'm not sure if this meets the requirement of 42A. Right now I have 2 separate PCI-E cables connected to the card and it seems to be running fine...
