    How often do you upgrade?

    Hey guys, how's it going? I'm thinking of upgrading my 680 GTX to the 980 upon its release. I bought the 680 two years ago and it still performs well, but with Far Cry 4 on the horizon, along with my anticipation of DOOM 4, I'm thinking it might be worth buying a new GPU. When I went to NCIX...

    Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD

    Just wondering what people's thoughts are on the current format war that's going on right now. Which do you think will win this one and why? I honestly don't know which one will win in the end...but I have a hunch it'll be Blu-Ray. I'm basing that on the fact that everywhere I look I'm seeing...

    Dual Core or Quad Core?

    I was browsing on NCIX just now, and I noticed the QX6700 & Q6600. I was wondering...if someone were to build a brand-new Conroe rig, should he take the older X6800 over the QX700, or E6600 over Q6600? Let's assume this person is looking to overclock, primarily use the PC for gaming, with...

    I'm in the market for a new gaming mouse, and I've narrowed my choices down to the above three, as they have a good reputation amongst gamers it seems. I'm considering the G7, but I've heard some bad things about it, from interference from other 2.4Ghz electronics like cordless phones to...

    Anyone else think hardware is advancing too fast?

    Title might seem a little odd, so I'll explain. First we had the 7900GTX. Then came the 7900GT --> 7950 GX2 --> 7950 GT --> 8800 GTS/GTX (hope I got that right)...all in one year. And of course, 1900XTX --> 1900XT --> 1950XTX...also in one year I put the lower end cards after their big...

    Samsung and the World's Slimmest LCD Screen

    http://www.hardocp.com/news.html?news=MjI1OTIsLCxobmV3cywsLDE= Isn't that something...wouldn't a screen that thin be suspectible to damage rather easily? I mean, if it's so thin, you could probably crack it without even thinking about it.

    Doom 3 curse

    I've been reflecting over the last few days about the possibility of a 'Doom 3 curse' swirling around. Think about it: Doom 3 came out. Everyone, fan boy or hater, agreed on one thing: the game was simple. Nothing complex, just simple. Yet it still made a lot of $$, and is still played to...

    Lian Li V2000...will components reach?

    Hey people. Need some advice pronto (yes, yes, yet another :p ) It's about my choice of case for my new rig. It's the monstrous V2000, and from what I gather, it can be rather irritating getting cables and such to reach within. Here's my question to you: Will my choice in PSU have cables...

    This seemed like the best place for this thread :p I'm considering a Lian Li V2000B for my new rig, which is a full-sized, server tower case. Due to its 'extreme' height, I'd have to put it on the ground. But I've got a friend of mine, who's helping me put my new rig together, hounding me...

    A little LCD advice please

    Everywhere I look, LCDs are coming around in a big way, and with so many options, I'm having a hard time deciding on one. I've narrowed things down to Dell or Viewsonic. As I understand, Dell makes the best gaming LCDs, but Viewsonic gives them a run for their money (and prolly mine as well...

    Need advice on a new GPU

    I need some help. I'm building a new rig at the moment, and I'm trying to decide b/w an eVGA 7900GTX EGS or an ATI X1900XTX. Now as I understand it, overall, the 7900GTX is the way to go, as it is just as fast as the ATI card and that SLI is a better performer than Crossfire. But when I look...
