hey team- i'm looking for a new graphics card - one that will game fairly seriously (under windows of course) but doesn't break the bank too much. nVidia recently announced the GTX 460, which everybody around the internet seems to love. Anandtech called it "the new $200 king" I was wondering if...

Hey guys- I recently bought my i5-750/UD4P/Hyper 212+ Cooler combo and I'm wanting to overclock seeing as the i5 has great overclocking headroom. I'm looking for 3.2Ghz with turbo boost/speed step ENABLED (the best choice from what I can tell). I'm aware of how to overclock with the BIOS, but I...

Hey all- So i've ordered all the parts (i7-860/4GB G.Skill/GTX260/etc) including the hard drive, a Spinpoint F3 1TB. I have a couple questions regarding backing up data in general. So, first and formost, I don't need a 'traditional' backup setup. I never need to go back and grab something I...

But can apps like After Effects utilize both cards at once, or will the second card really only be powering the monitor? The 9500 GT has half the processors that the 9800 has, so I wonder if using two would give me the equivalent power plus being able to use all three of my monitors...

I'm using the graphics cards not for games but for stuff like color grading with Color or Motion/After Effects. But at 3x better, I'm not sure 3 monitors is worth it versus just two with a good graphics card.

Hey guys- I was originally planning on building a system with a 9800GT 1GB, and using 2 22" Viewsonic monitors along with it. BUT, I just found out I have a third monitor that I could use as well, and was wondering if anybody had experince/knowledge about what kind of graphics cards I could get...

That's why I was considered swapping that case for the beast Antec Three Hundred Gaming case : http://amazon.com/?tag=tonymacx86com-20. It's a giant case, with like 6 3.5" drive bays etc. It has a 120mm and a 140mm fan with option 120mm's. Definatly cool. Big enough for everything. But with the...

i'll look for the g.skill eco RAM. but the mugen-b is sold out at newegg so i might try amazon.... thanks!

Hey guys- I've spent a while looking up parts etc. and I think I'm ready to pull the trigger. Before I do, I'd love a confirmation from one of the guru's out here: Intel Core i7 860 Processor 2.80 GHz 8 MB LGA1156 $280 on Amazon for an amazing processor. Gigabyte GA-P55M - UD4 Intel Core...

I defintly wat a dual monitor sétup. This menas i need 1gb of graphic card ddr3? Ill look at PNY and othet moré budget 1gb cards.

so i'm getting around to ordering all my parts (i7 860, UD4, 4GB DDR3, Antec Sonata III, etc.) and I've finally settled on the nVida GeForce 9800GT. But the last thing I've done is found which one to buy! I'm on a fairly tight budge (900 or less) so every dollar counts. Right now, they range...

Ok. I think I'll go with the Antec Sonata III with the bundled Earthwatt 500W PSU. That'll be enough for a EVGA 9800GT and an i7-860?

Perfect! Looks like most of the components are in place. I found this case+PSU combo on amazon for $100. Can anybody confirm that this is a legit PSU that will work well? The case also has 2 120mm fans instead of one, I'm thinking it's a better by then the Antec Three Hundred. Antec Three...

Hello all. I've been around these forums for a while, and finally decided to get a build together. I'm fairly new at this - if you wouldn't mind helping me out, that'd be great. I do a lot of video/photo work - I'd love to run Final Cut Studio very smoothly, as well as Adobe CS5 Master...
