Thanks. I think I'm going to hold off right now and save up. Probably wait and see what cyber monday holds in store as well. Oh, and I forgot to say I have a 750 W PSU. Also, you mentioned overclocking my cpu, i've never done that before. If i were to, is there a guide to do this? because i...

darn..that's disappointing. I'm trying to stick to a budget somewhat below $200. I know that's hard to do in getting a good graphics card, but it was something I was attempting. The 660 looks nice, but I can't really afford it right now. Looks like I'll have to wait a bit. Though, now I don't...

Okay, to start off, here are my specs: Motherboard: XFX nForce 780i SLI (about 4 years old) Link to specs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813141005 Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz Graphics Card: nVidia XFX Geforce 9800 GTX/GTX+ 512MB RAM Amount: 6 GB DDR2...

I grew up with parents really into baseball, so I've grown a fondness for it. It's really the only sport I know anything about and am not completely bored by. My dad though is really into football, and I for the life of me, can never get into it. I grew up with a sister 10 years older than me...

thank you for this

Okay, I wasn't sure if it was or not. I was just using the term I heard the police chief used. So your issue is with him. I don't know that about the AR-15. Thanks

http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/20/us/colorado-theater-shooting/index.html that's a live update of new information. Here is a quote: "A law enforcement source said two of the guns used in the attack were purchased at a Bass Pro Shop in Denver, while the two others were bought at separate...

Well after some googling and research it appears I can. So, I think I'll start with that upgrade and spread these other upgrades like the HDD over some time when the price comes down. Thanks for the help guys! :)

Actually, I found where the SATA speed is 3.0 Gb/s which is SATA-II, but I guess it really doesn't matter because SATA-III is still compatible, its just bottlenecked.

Well the one I have in there right now is a Hitachi, not the one I'm thinking of buying. I was looking at the WD Caviar Black series, but they're above my price limit. So, maybe in a few months, they'll come down? I've pretty much decided that I won't get a HDD now and will wait a couple...

Sorry, I'd also like to add in one more thing. I know I have my board supports SATA, but I don't know if its SATA-I SATA-II or SATA-III, and I don't know how to check. My board is a Nvidia XFX nForce 780i

Also, just to add in another thing, if you have any suggestions for hard drives ranging from 1TB to 2TB, that would be much appreciated. My dollar limit is around $200.

Okay, so, I was thinking of buying a new hard drive and I was looking at 2 TB drives. My current one is a Hitachi 500GB, and am running 32 bit Vista. But, anyways, I want this new drive because Im currently running out of space on my primary right now, and don't want to have to worry about space...

thanks dude, (and to all others who said the same)! I figured I might have to do as much. I was already looking at Windows 7 64 bit. Vista's a real pain in the ass. But, thanks for the info. I'll have to make sure to make backups before I do that.
