I just bought the XFX XXX 750W PSU for $85 (75 if you count the rebate). I've heard good things about the XXX series and this is the lowest I've ever seen it

Building a new rig and am looking for some guidance on PSUs. Build is as follows:
4670k
GTX 770
8 GB RAM
Samsung 840 Pro 256
2x 7200 RPM HDDs
I'm not looking to spend over $100. I am thinking 600-700w is the sweet spot, but am open to 700+. The quieter the better.
Here are a few...
Ideally, around $300 or so for a monitor. I think I'd prefer something with a matte finish with a low response time.
By "crisp", I mean something that has vibrant popping colors. I obviously don't know much about monitors haha
My PSU is from 2008. What are the life spans of PSUs?
Also, how...
I can buy everything as soon as I finalize a build, if need be. I am assuming now-ish would be the time to buy given all of the specials around the Haswell launch?
Hi everyone,
I have been out of the computer building game for a while and am looking to build a new computer. Current PC is in signature.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming will be the most intense thing. Will also be watching HD video...
I think some drinks got spilled on a few of the speakers on my z5300s at a party, because now 3 of them crackle when I play music on them :(
So I suppose I need to start looking for a new system...here are my requirements:
Loud
Lots of Bass
Good Quality - my z5300s have lasted me 5 years
Any...
Im using mobile me and i love it.
Granted I got a free account through work, I would definitely pay to renew it. Having my iphone contacts backed up as well as having email pushed to my phone does it for me.
Not to mention the findmyiphone feature.
get it imo
I current am running dual displays with a Samsuns 226 BW and a 19" Syncmaster 997MB crt.
I have been getting more and more 1080p movies lately and I would like to just watch these 1080p movies on my computer (hooking them to the TV is a pain). I will be using the new monitor as well as my...
Yeah, I think the Beyerdynamic actually sells some of their refurb 770s on ebay for like $99 Buy it Now. However, I dont think there is any sort of warranty/guaruntee on them.
Well here's what happened to me:
I originally had the Beats, but when I got them, the left side was DOA. Before I returned them, I decided to listen to them for a bit to see if I even wanted another pair.
I could tell off the bad that they felt a little plasticy and I wasnt happy about...
I havent heard anyone say that Beats were better than 770s, so I may try them instead, especially if GC will return them if I dont like them.
And I am a big fan of earbuds as well. I have Bose in Ear, but I had to send them back because the left bud went out. I tried the in ear Beats and they...
Yes, these are entirely for home use. I have closed headphones now, so I would like to stick with this style.
Also, from what I understand, I should get the 80ohm 770s if I dont want an amp?
Edit: I suppose if its for home use I wouldnt be opposed to getting an amp as well, just as long as...
Yeah the big deal is what makes taking the quizzes and stuff worth it...I bought the $129 package earlier today.
first 2000 rockstars to order get a special bonus too...i wonder what it is..hmmm
Well, I have used the beats a bit and there are a few pros and cons:
Pros:
looks
bass/sound
active noise cancelling
comfortable
Cons:
Too light imo, they feel cheap
batteries to use
active noise cancelling
music bleeds out of the headphones
That being said, I would like some...
I have had my Sennheiser HD280s for about 3 years now and I think its about time I got some new headphones. I can get the Beats for about $150ish but I hear the DT770s are really nice as well.
I listen to Rap/hip hop mostly on my ipod and my computer (xfi plat. sound card)
I would like...
It is already a private network
I tried this, and it looks like the Target User Name and the username that im entering are the same. I would really just prefer to turn off the password protected option. However, when I clock "turn off", it just stays on
i have tried almost everything short of a reformat to get this working.
My desktop and a laptop are running Windows vista
Desktop- windows vista ultimate x64
Laptop- legit windows home premium?
anyway, I have a network at my house that has a XP desktop (wireless), vista desktop and...
Here are my specs:

The P182 is a great case, the only thing I didn't like was the space inside. Although it had a lot of nice things that made some parts easy, others were a pain (wiring the PSU). I think I was spoiled by my Antec Super LANboy
Yeah it is one of the OEM Dell drives. I had a 74GB raptor and had to RMA it, but they didnt have any more 74GB drives. I called and bitched about how long it was taking so they upgraded me to the 80GB. No problems since.
I am currently using an 80GB WD Raptor, but I ordered a Samsung F1 HD103UJ 1TB a few days ago. I use a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda for storage.
Once I get the drive, I am going to reformat and install Vista x64 and Max OSx86. I was originally planning on partitioning my Raptor and installing...
