Hey all, I have a bit of a noobie question. PC specs are in my signature below and the system was built around December 2015. Nothing has ever been overclocked (probably a waste of capable parts, I know). Lately (within the past 6 months or so) I've been having issues where my PC would randomly...

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9591548&sku=EVG-102839525 This is the SSC/Super-superclocked version which has the highest clock speeds out of all EVGA 970s other than the FTW edition. $267 + $6 shipping, no rebates needed, also no sales tax to...

I'm seriously having a hard time deciding between these two cases for my next build! The Define R5 has been out for awhile and pretty well-documented by reviewers and end users alike, and the consensus seems to be that it's one of the best cases for the money, is super easy to install a build in...

Hey [H]. I'm building a new PC so trying to sell my old rig. Specs are as follows: AMD Phenom II X4 945 Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H XFX Radeon HD 5770 G.Skill 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600 RAM Antec Earthwatts EA650W Power Supply Western Digital Blue 500GB HDD (WD5000AKS) Creative Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Sound...

Hi [H] :) So I went out to Fry's to see if they had any good Black Friday deals and I ended up getting an i5-4690K + Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3 board on sale for $250 after MIR. It was a super impulse buy and it seemed like a good deal so I decided to just buy it. I had been meaning to build a new...

Not sure if this has been posted or how hot it is but it seems like a decent deal to me. i5 4690K + Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 3 board for $250 after $20 MIR at Fry's. Deal expires Saturday Nov. 28th. YMMV about availability. I will say this, I checked the website before I went and it said "not...

I'm deciding to make this thread here because I want to talk strictly about prices, let's please leave the "omg nvidia is just a bunch of filthy lying bastards" debate out of this :) That said, any chance of GTX 970 prices dropping soon? I know the GTX 960 just came out and all but it still...

Hi [H], My computer is getting a bit outdated. I plan to build a new rig sometime soon (by Christmas for sure) and would like some advice/input. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Web browsing/light video use (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) as well as...

Hey guys, My current PC is pretty outdated at the moment (specs in signature). I'm moving out to attend another university soon and I don't have the funds to do a completely new build, but I was wondering if there are any cheap upgrades that I could possible do to help me get a little up to...

Current system specs are in my signature. I don't play games much anymore but I do enjoy playing BF3 from time to time, but I can only seem to run it on about medium settings across the board smoothly. If I bring it up to high, the game gets choppy especially when there's a lot going on at once...

So I posted in that massive 600+ page "which headphones should I buy" topic on Head-Fi and the only recommendation I got were for G35s. I'm hoping some of you guys can give me some more input as to what to buy :p I'm currently in the market for a new budget pair of 'phones - and by "budget"...

Hey all. I think it might be time to upgrade my PC soon, I wanted to know what you guys think. As customary, here's that form :p 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Mostly gaming, primarily BF3. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping...

I'm not sure where this goes since most of the topics here are about computer monitors, but it is titled "Displays" so I thought I'd put it here. Please move if necessary. Anyway, I'm in the market for a new TV. This will be my first TV purchase and as such, I have almost no clue about what...

Saw this via SD. Great price. I'm currently using this case right now and I love it, awesome airflow and the blue LEDs look neat but aren't bright enough to be blinding or to look super tacky. Relatively quiet with all the fans on the lowest settings. For a budget build this is probably one of...

At the very bottom. http://newspaperads.mercurynews.com/FSI/Page.aspx?advid=200177&loc=53824&fsi=15986&version=Mercury&facing=false&pagenum=6 Pretty decent prices IMO, no rebate required either.

I recently purchased an X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro - I hate that Fatality guy but it was a $60 rebate off a $100 sound card so I said "hey why not" and bought it on a whim. Anyway, I left my rebate receipt on my desk for a few days following the purchase and when it came time to mail it, I...

http://newspaperads.mercurynews.com/FSI/Page.aspx?advid=200177&loc=53824&fsi=15898&version=Mercury&facing=false&pagenum=6 No rebate required, a tad bit cheaper than Amazon's and Newegg's prices ($74/$80, respectively). A nice pickup for anyone who wants a cheap mechanical keyboard. If...

Fry's has the Creative WoW Wireless Gaming Headset for $80 after MIR, normally $130. I've heard a lot of good things about this particular headset and I may consider picking one up. The wired version is also $80 (regular everyday price) if you're not a big fan of wireless. Fry's on Brokaw had...

I just started actively raiding again in World of Warcraft for the first time in 3 years and I need a cheap-o headset to use, something around the $50 price range. I don't expect it to be amazing of course, as long as its sturdy and it holds up. The last headset I had was the Logitech gaming...

Clicky. Saw it on SD. That's about the price of a 5770. Pretty good if you don't mind MSI and MIRs.

Well, I picked up one of these boards this morning in a combo deal at Fry's with a PII X4 945 for $150. I have some concerns after reading the specifications of the board on Gigabyte's website, though. From the spec. list: Does this mean that I can only run RAM with a maximum voltage of...

So I'm piecing together a new build in about a week or so, got most of the parts picked out already, but I still need a case. Looking to stay below $70. Lower is better of course, but I'll pay for quality. $70 is the absolute maximum I'm looking to spend at list price; I don't mind paying the...

Well, on Newegg, at least. The beloved Centurion 5 case finally gets its long-awaited update. They have the black and silver windowed versions for $59.99 apiece with shipping ringing in at $14.99. There are also non-windowed versions available, just not on Newegg yet. Looks to be a great...

My dad doesn't really do any research before he buys things. He bought a wireless KB/mouse combo from some company called "Pixxo" a few months ago and the thing is absolutely dreadful to use. I'm sure this question will be answered rather quickly, if it even needs any answering at all...

Practically brand new. I bought it last week and only used it once for a couple of hours. Comes with the box and the manual as well. Retails for $69 + tax, asking $57 shipped. Pictures:

In the market for a new rig again! I posted a new build topic around last August, if anybody remembers; it's usually the same 5 or so people around these parts of the board. Not that it's a bad thing, you guys are very helpful! Unfortunately, some unforeseen financial problems came up at the...

Link. Doesn't look like too bad of a deal. The processor and motherboard are $99.99 and $69.99 at the Egg, respectively. There's also an EVGA GTS 250 1GB for $79.99 after MIR in that same page of ads, although from what I've read that model's fan is pretty crappy compared to their standard...

This game looks reaaaaally promising. It's not a big name here in the states, but the MH series is rather popular in Japan. Anyone else excited for this game? I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I should pick it up; I haven't used my Wii for anything other than to play Gamecube games on...

I saw this deal on the MC website. I'm not sure how this PSU is but it seems like a great price. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0278910 Link to the product page: http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?act=detail&id=2550 It's not on...

I'm a little confused about this. The wording is different, so I'm assuming it's different from a normal MIR. What exactly is a MIR card? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139008

Hey guys. I'm in the market for a new build soon and I was hoping you guys could help me out with this. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Mostly gaming and general use, light video encoding once in awhile but not a priority 2) What's your budget...

I've been out of the loop for awhile, but I'm planning to build a new rig soon, something that I haven't done for several years. I'd like to know how PSU technology has changed over the years; I've seen a lot of new things when browsing Newegg, such as the 80+ stickers and more and more units...

Hello [H]ardForum! I cleaned out my room yesterday and found some games I need to get rid of. Payment Methods: Paypal, money order, personal checks, concealed cash (at own risk) Located in San Jose if you are interested in meetups. Will ship either via USPS or UPS. Tracking number will be...

EDIT: Problem solved, would a mod kindly delete this topic?

My GH3 Guitar (the wireless Les Paul that comes with the game) for my Wii seems to be broken. I can only strum up, not down, which makes it a hell of a lot more annoying to play with. I tried using different Wiimotes in it so I'm sure it's not the Wiimotes running out of battery. Has this...

So I have a really ancient rig. AMD Athlon 2500+ XP Shuttle AN35N Ultra 2x 512MB Kingston HyperX DDR400 PC3200 BFG 6800GS OC AGP/Inno3D 5700LE Coolermaster RealPower RW-450W A month ago my 6800GS started artifacting so I sent it in for RMA. When I got my replacement, I brain farted and...

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone games at low resolutions. Personally, I play at 1440x900 on a Samsung Syncmaster 940BW 19" monitor and it works fine for me. It'd be nice to upgrade to a 22" or a 24", but I would rather spend the couple hundred bucks on a new rig before I get a new display...

Okay, so I did something really stupid today. My BFG 6800GS OC was artifacting, so I sent it in for RMA. I got my replacement today but I brain farted and did not plug in the molex connector (it's an AGP card) before I tried to boot up. I turned my system on and I just heard a continuous...
