For the price I'd just go with a crucial M4 since they have a stellar track record.

I've never had an ADATA product fail but I too would go with a crucial M4 since I know nothing of their SSD's.

[QUOTE=Angry Pineapple;38479178]Would a 650w Coolermaster PSU handle a 660 Ti and a 560 Ti with the 560 as just a PhysX processor and nothing more? It's also powering 2 HDDs, a 2500k @ 4.5 ghz, and 7 fans w/a controller.[/QUOTE] I have 670x2 with a 650w.

Shopping for PC parts and I have a question. I might get [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128519]this motherboard[/url] but I want to make sure it fits in my case. On the newegg page for my case it says type is ATX Mid Tower but then it says "Motherboard Compatibility: ATX". Will I have any problems?

Is Samsung NP900X3C worth it?

[QUOTE=mac338;38486265]Is Samsung NP900X3C worth it?[/QUOTE] Gorgeous isn't it? I ask myself the same question all the time. The price simply isn't in comparison to others and you would be paying for the design essentially in my opinion. My questions. 1) My computer seems to have high priority for downloading in the household. How can i check how much download data per second i can have without throttling a family member in the house that is streaming video? I'm aware certain players have different quality usuage which could increase or decrease accordingly. How can i check in real time how much they are using? 2) How can i bind my email address (example@hotmail.com) to a key so that when i press it, it inputs said address in text form?

[/QUOTE] I don't care for design but I need it to be fairly small and light weight and robust. Any others with that and similar specs for a cheaper price that you recommend?

For the price it's going for, it isn't worth it to me IMHO. The specs aren't that great, and for the price, it's quite shocking.

Set other people to higher priorities and (basically) they will get the bandwidth they need and you'll get the rest 2) AHK Auto Hotkey can do this pretty easily.

Unless your case is micro ATX it shouldn't be a problem, and almost all mid towers are just plain old ATX. Just make sure you have socket compatibility with the parts you are buying. Please tell me you aren't buying a faildozer.

I'd probably recommend just getting an i3 for a few dollars more. The power consumption difference is significant, and it performs far better in any sort of single threaded application, and even competes in multithreaded applications quite well.

[QUOTE=FullStreak12;38488051]Upgrading to an AMD Phenom II X4 965[/QUOTE] what do you have now?

Which means that you're getting the same performance (or better!) with two cores than four, aka things that don't use a lot of threads (games!) will perform better.

Does that apply to future games? In a couple years the next consoles should come out which means ports. I play a lot of Black Ops and that was poorly optimized for a lot of dual cores. I just don't want to spend money unwisely.

OK I've looked around and the i3 3220 seems to be favored from gamers compared to the 965. I made a thread but nobody replied. I'll go for this if I can.

My Western Digital Elements 3.0 500GB is going really slow, between 500 b/s to 4.6mb/s. I have it plugged into my USB 3.0 ports and everything, what can it be?
