I have been using the onboard sound from my computer to play games. I think it is time now for a new set of headphones.
What I am considering is the Sennheiser 58X phones and a JDL Labs Atom amp.
My question is will I see a better sound quality if I buy these...
I have one ethernet line coming out of the wall. Now I need 2 lines and do not know what to buy to get that. I need one line for the computer and the 2nd for a new TV. Any advice on what to buy?
I don't believe you get something for nothing. I also don't believe the number of web sites offering high end cards for $ 150-$400.
These sites say in stock when no one else has cards in stock. Delivery within 7 days. Sites offering Paypal, Visa and other card transactions.
Are there people...
Comcast just raised yet again the cost of my rental modem to $14 a month. It is time for me to get my own, When I do searches for a wifi 3.1 docsis modem compatible with comcast my eyes start to glass over.

Getting the urge to upgrade my 27" dell to something larger. Only difference I can see between the two is the Dell supports 1.07 billion colors and the Alienware supports 16.7 million colors.
Machine has a 1080 gpu and a 6700K cpu with 16GB memory.
$300 difference between the 2 monitors.

I am looking at this monitor:

The post for this monitor says that g sync is by AMD that isn't correct is it?

i have a Gigabyte Z170 gaming 5 board I have been using for a year or two now. When it was set up I was advised to use the onboard sound as it was as good as any sound card available. In my old system I had a Xonar sound card I was pretty happy using. I do not have any complaints about this...
Do the older Steam games run on the newer computers? I would like to play the Thief series but as I remember there were some problems with it and new computers on install.
I bought Deus Ex human revolution and never could get it to play on my machine. Steam refunded my money after I gave up...
I installed my new 1080 Ti yesterday and today my computer keeps shutting down. It has happened several times within the last few minutes. Right now I am thinking it might be the power supply not being strong enough to keep everything up and running. It is several years old and I thought it was...

Need a suggestion of a new game to play now that I have stopped playing Shroud of the avatar. I like RPG style games.
checked a few sources but nothing popped out to me. Don't care about R vs R or PVP just PVE style. I don't want to waste money on games buying them blindly.
I went to install a new 970 vidoe card this morning and when I hit the release for the bard connector and pulled out the card the plastic connector came out with it deforming many of the pins.
Right now I am on an old 10 yr machine trying to find out how to proceed.
The Board is a Gigabyte...
Been looking for a new monitor and this BenQ looks pretty good. I am here to ask if my thoughts are good and I should buy this or keep looking?
I have a new 970 arriving Tuesday to pair up with this monitor.
Currently just playing Shroud of the Avatar MMORPG style game

I have been waiting to buy a 970 for a few months now and today found what I think is a good price $310.

I bought a 125 GB Samsung ssd 3 or so years ago to try it out. Now it is full and I need to replace it. I am going to buy 2 500GB SSD's. New Egg is having a sale on a few drives but I don't know the quality or reliability of these brands...
Been having connection issues with Comcast. Tech today installed a new line from house to street pole. He suggested I ditch their netgear wireless router and buy a good all in one unit. He said I would see a more solid connection than I have with my Cisco cable modem and their netgear router...
My wife would like a tablet for Christmas and I don't know which one to get her. I have not been following the tablet market. What features or brands should I look at?
I am about to order a replacement headset (http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-51EF0180AA001-Blaster-Surround/sim/B002J9HCV0/2 )
I wanted to know if there would be any conflicts in the software install and the Xonar drivers? I didn't buy a SB card this time out cause I wanted to get away from...
I don't know if this is a dumb idea on my part or not. I was thinking of getting a couple USB drives and installing a game on each of them so I didn't have to load up my SSD. Also are any USB drives USB3? Would they run slow on a drive like this?
I never planned on overclocking to begin with but I had planned to buy the K version originally. I ordered the cpu late at night and after 10 minutes had past and I looked the invoice over and saw my error. I tried to cancel the order with NE but they sent me a e mail telling me they were...
I am trying to decide which Nvidia card I should get for a new build. I currently have a 470 and think I need to upgrade to a card with more than 1 GB of ram.
Price wise I would like to stay less than $400. I would also like a card that is both quieter than the 470 and runs less temps than 91C...
Going to do a new build as soon as case gets here. My current X-FI card is not a pci-e card and I will need to replace it. Should I go with a Xonar DGX or is there a better choice? All I want it for is gaming, no other audio uses. Build is a 3570K, Gigabyte UD3H build. I should add that my...

Not sure how great a deal this is or how stable this SSD is but it caught my eye and I am thinking of getting one.
Is it usual for ncix to take 5 days order time to finally ship an order? I usually don't order from them but thought I would give them a try. I placed my order Nov. 7 and it shipped this afternoon the 12th. Compared to the Egg this is a long delay. Just wondering if it was bad luck on my part...
Just got my new HP 2511X monitor and so far I think it is great. The blacks are really black compared to my old Acer monitor. Everything is just so much sharper.
I turned down the brightness to 50 and still think it is a tad too bright. Is there a guide to adjust the settings numbers?
I just got off the phone with Klipsch about getting my sub repaired. They tell me $160 to send it to the repair facility, plus return shipping. I am thinking for a little bit more I could buy a new system that might last longer without repairs.
I went to Best Buy this morning to see what they...
I think it is time to junk the pro media ultra sub woofer and its controller. I would like to replace them with a new sub woofer and a receiver that can handle 5.1 speakers. I have no idea what to buy or the cost of these two items. Any suggestions for me? I don't want to break the bank here...
My 8800 GTS started giving off green tint on the monitor last night. The card is an EVGA with the product number 640-P2-N821-AR. So it does have a lifetime warranty. I was sure I registered the card as I have an account on the web site but trying to go through the RMA process online no card...
I tried the search but nothing came back for what I want to know. What do I need to run DX11 game graphics? I am running DX10 now and game update will impprove that to DX!!

I would like one that doesn't use MSN traffic service (due to...
I have let Win 7 install creative drivers and I downloaded and installed drivers for the Titanium fatality SC. This ctamon.dll error at loading keeps popping up upon each new boot up. Would anyone know a solution to this problem? (win 7 x64)
Is Creative's driver for win 7 x64 X-FI titanium card any good? The last I had read was it made popping and cracking sounds. I just installed ultimate 64 and need a driver for the sound card.
