I need some help picking a new monitor. I currently have a dual monitor setup with (2) Asus VS247H-P monitors. They are not bad, but they are 60Hz and the color, viewing angles and just overall look seem rather average. I'm considering upgrading one of them to something with better picture...

I need some help. I have a glass desk so that rules out a desk mounted monitor arm. I have come across a few on Amazon that offer a large base that you mount the monitors to. My issue is that all the photos show a configuration where the monitors are placed side by side directly in front...

I currently run with a 1920x1080 as my main with a 2nd monitor which is 1680x1050. I'm considering replacing my 2nd monitor with an identical monitor to my main. That would be two 1920x1080 monitors. I know it already stresses my card a bit to have two monitors, will upping a res on the 2nd...

It's coming out Tuesday. Who's excited? :D

I'm totally stumped as to an issue I'm having. I just built a new rig in October, and it's been great. However recently I'm having a problem. The issue is that randomly, it seems like my mouse is rapidly clicking repeatedly. This issue typically occurs when I come back from the PC...

Hi all, I'm having an issue with my mic. I have Steelseries Siberia V2 headphones. I just built a new rig with an MSI Z87-G41 motherboard. The mic volume is extremely low. I can crank it up and turn up boost all the way and it is still low. On my old PC the audio was fine. I have...

Hey all, I just built a new PC and I think something is goofy with it. Just an example here with Borderlands 2 - I feel like something must be off. Here are the specs: Intel Core i5 4570 - 3.2GHz MSI Z87-G41 8GB Corsair Memory 256GB Samsung Evo SSD nVidia GTX760 EVGA 2GB Windows...

Hi everyone, I just built a new rig, everything is working smoothly. In the process of getting my BIOS update - I realized there are 7-8 drivers for my MSI motherboard available from MSI directly. Should I download and install these or just roll with the ones Windows 8 found?

I just bought a new AMD card, and have the Gold key which lets you choose (3) games from a total of 9 available. I already have the few games I'd want, so I figured I'd sell it. I'm looking for $30.00. Head to: http://amd4u.com/radeonrewards/ to see what games are available, it is Gold level...

I'm a bit concerned, when I go to my network on my PC I see a XT912_Verizon showing up under Phones in my network properties. It has very little info assigned to it, other than a mac address. My wife and I both have iPhones...any thoughts on where this is coming from? I have WPA2 encryption...

I'm going to be putting together my new build this weekend, and it's the first time I've ever used a SSD. I'll be using: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088PUEPK/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and...

Hi everyone, I'm starting to think I need to build a new PC. My current rig I built in May of 2009. The specs are: Intel i5 750 processor MSI P55-CD53 LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard 4GB DDR3 1066 Radeon HD7850 (I added this late last year) 500GB Samsung Spinpoint Windows 8...

Hi guys, I've been using my Logitech G15 for 3-4 years now, and it's time for an upgrade. It needs to be a full size as I use the number pad. I really liked the feeling of the Cherry MX Blues, which my brother has on his Razer Blackwidow. I had read some mixed reviews of Razer products...

Hey guys, I'm considering upgrading my Vastro 220 mini tower. I currently have upgraded the PSU to a TX650, the video card is an AMD Radeon 7850 and the ram is 4 gigs now. I was considering upgrading the CPU to a quad and that would require upgrade of the board and probably the case + HSF too...

Is it just me, or is there a lack of emphasis put on game physics? When HL2 came out the physics were amazing, I was so amped when they showed off the physics demo. I feel like since then, that side of gaming has totally stagnated, if not reverted. I can't remember the last time I played a...

Hi all, I've been out of the PC building world for a while, last build was in 2009. I'm curious if it's still the best value. Can you always build a better PC for the money than you could buy? Specifically at the $1,000 price point. Thanks guys.

Hey guys, I used to be a frequenter on this website but have not been up to date on everything ever since CCity went outta business and no longer surrounded by technology every second. So my question is, two years ago, rather than building a machine I needed a quick fix for a computer and I...

Hi all, So I've got the Klipsch THX 2.1 system, and it's been giving me issues for the past couple years and I'm sick of it. It finally has quit on me and the sub is completely blown. I want some decent speakers, is there anything that can approach this sound quality for less than $100...

I feel like ever since Half Life 2 and the Source engine, games have really been unremarkable with regard to physics. The way you could splinter wood and things would topple and tumble in HL2, I have yet to see that again. Can anyone recommend current games that have met or surpassed that...

I'm considering a Galant from Ikea, as they seem to be nice units. I do not have an Ikea near me so I can't see it in person first. 1.) How is the quality? Is the top thick? Is it easy to scratch? How about the edges, does the veneer peel up? 2.) Is it sturdy enough to attach monitor...

So I've come to the conclusion my Intel DP55WG is friend. I need a new motherboard. I'm running: Intel i5 750 processor Intel DP55WG Motherboard (Fried) 4GB DDR3 1066 GTX260 896MB 500GB Samsung Spinpoint Windows 7 I'm not looking to spend a lot. Any recommendations? I won't be...

Hi all, I built my PC back in August of 09. The specs are: Intel i5 750 processor Intel DP55WG Motherboard (Guessing this is the problem) 4GB DDR3 1066 GTX260 896MB 500GB Samsung Spinpoint Windows 7 It has always acted really odd. As an example if I shut it down and power it up...

I don't really have the time to build another computer and if I need to trouble shoot it I'm just not into that scene anymore but I would like to get a computer that can run WoW flawlessly that's under $500. I'm so out of the game that I don't know what would run well. I have a barton 2500+...

So I wake up this morning and come down to get on my pc and I wake it from sleep mode. It has a BSOD error of some sort, something about irq or irc not even (I can't recall the message) so I restarted it. Now I have no internet connection to that PC. I reset the router, pulled out the cat5...

How well would: Intel i5 750 processor MSI P55-CD53 LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard 4GB DDR3 1066 GTX260 896MB 500GB Samsung Spinpoint Windows 7 Run the original EQ with everything maxed? I'm guessing very well?

I currently built a new PC, and installed the lastest version of Windows 7 Ultimate on it as a clean install. When 7 is released on the 22nd, do I need to do a complete re-installation or can I simply "upgrade" from my RC to the final version? I'm sorry if this has been asked but I was having...

I just built my new PC and I'm having trouble. I hit the power button, the lights and fans start for half a second, then stop. I have to turn psu off then back on to get it to do it again. I know everything is good as I had the system up and running last night, although with a bad psu that...

My PC is from 2003, getting a little old. I don't need a monitor. I'd like to be able to run WoW at max settings at all times. Would that be possible to do on a budget of $500-600?

I currently have P4 3.0GHz with HT, 1GB ram, Radeon 9800PRO, and 240GB HD. I'm having quite a bit of trouble playing anything newer. My first idea was to get an AGP video card to upgrade mine, however from what I've read the rest of my system will be a big bottleneck. So two questions: Is...

I just got a HP Pavilion dv6000 for christmas and I was looking to upgrade the ram to two gigs, I'm assuming it has two 512 sticks in it so I will be needing two one gig sticks. What would be the best choice on memory through newegg? Thanks

Hey I was looking for a quick upgrade on my processor for a Abit NF7-S. I've only got a Barton 2500+ Mobile in it right now and I'm over the whole overclocking thing. I went to newegg and noticed they don't sell socket A processors anymore. And I'm sure AM2 is totally different. Any idea...

I was just browsing through newegg and I noticed this laptop that didnt seem too terrible. For word processing, email, internet, song downloading and movie viewing will this hold up? It is running vista premium on 1gb which is a slight concern but let me know your feelings on it. $599 after...
