ya my 2500k @ 4.8ghz is still crushing everything i throw at it, i also run SLI but i have 570's i might upgrade the video card if the next series is impressive but i plan to stay with my 2500k for another 18 months, just no point in replacing it

i have been playing video games of all kinds for over 25 years, i REFUSE to even consider playing any F2P game after my experience in lotro, it IS the BANE of any good game PERIOD over time you will all learn. if it means i no longer play games because they are all F2P then so be it i hope all...

well given that its a 17 inch screen and not 22+ id go with 1600x900 not only will you get better frames you stand of chance of being able to read the text, etc

save your money for the next 2 years, there will be nothing that will limit you cpu wise for that long, then be prepared to buy the best pc that you can when the new consoles are released. that will be about the next time we will see any noticable improvements in video games anyway

lol my pos corsair force 3 finnally bit the dust lastnight, glad to see such a good deal on a real quality product, i bit for one

QUALITY... everything corsair makes is top of the line, well thought out, developed, and tested to ensure maximum satisfaction. i never have to feel like i might be wasting my money by purchasing corsair products.

got my 570 to 905/1810/2226 i did notice an increase in performance, i use msi and have the voltage at 1075mv without issue for many months now

ya been running mine for months now @1.42 doing just fine

given same wattage go with corsiar but my 850w cougar is solid and silent, nice deal too i got it for 135 shipped

basically with 16gb of memory you could turn off pagefile but it wont net you any performance gain. im in same boat and i just decided to set my pagefile to 600mb and be done with it

zalman used to make a fan bracket that screwes into the pci card screw holders, u can then mount up to a 120mm fan over your GFX, i did this with my old 260 sli set up where my bottom card would get up to 95C after adding in a 120mm 80cfm fan over them load was 87c on the hottest card, still hot...

i picked up a hp 4530s 1333 memory 7200rpm drive i32300 all for $449 shipped to my door and i must say this laptop has got some legs

yes, however i think only if you overclock that cpu of yours, it should do 4ghz easy and u should be fine with a 4ghz quad and a 570

woot in for one of these, pretty sweet too didnt have to pay 235 or go through the hassle of waiting for updated firmware 180 bucks for a Sata 3 SSD with specs like this is pretty unbeatable right now

idk i looked this issue up before making my purchase of a reference msi 570 seemed like the people who were having issues was due to them pumping too much voltage into the card.... my impression from reviewing this issue was basically dont go past 1050 mv and your good to go so i bought one...
