I have a vague memory of seeing file size and stuff like that a couple of months ago, but not anymore.

[QUOTE=reapaninja;33489062]it's terrible
a good 650W is ususally around $70-90, what do you think a 700W for half that will be like (hint: explosions nowhere near max load)
and rosewill PSUs are anything but perfect[/QUOTE]
Didn't know that Rosewill PSUs were shit. Thanks for the heads up.
Any recommendations on a good PSU 700w+? The only thing confusing me with PSUs are the amps. I can't figure out what would be required of an 152500k and a gtx 560.
Why do all gaming mice look like they were built for the sole purpose of pissing me off?
Aren't there any simple, sturdy comfortable mouses with a solid click on all its buttons and a tactile mouse wheel.
Yeah a standard microsoft mouse. I hate gaming peripherals.
Me too but I'm so used to side buttons now, I can't help to look for a mouse with them.

Too bad they jack the price up by 30% just because Steelseries is a gaming-brand. Good mouse though.
LCD screen on the bottom of the mouse? Seems like they just added it so they can ask for more $$.
Pretty much. It's kinda funny when they advertise the mouse for having a simple and slick design with nothing unnecessary added to it - and then we see the LCD-screen.
Well, is there anything wrong with an intellimouse explorer 3.0? It's a great, plain mouse. Has the side buttons.
I have an intellimouse 1.1, I love everything but its scroll wheel and side button, might be improved in the 3.0 I'll check it out.

Oh wow, maybe I should get myself one of these. :v
I hate to keep sounding like an idiot who knows nothing, but I need to make sure. Would this support SLI since it says it supports crossfire? It doesn't mention it but it should, no?

I'm a razer guy myself, but that's pretty cool. It even has some nice side buttons.
I wasn't serious.
[QUOTE=reevezy67;33490658]I wasn't serious.[/QUOTE]
I like it. But then again, I like shiny stuff.
I don't like the price though, that's for sure.
Oh god, I didn't notice the crystals and gold. Nevermind that' ridiculous.
Ugh, I guess the motherboard doesn't support SLI afterall.
Bleh I hate reading reviews, I always see "DOA" and I hate seeing that because I won't be able to test the one I get now until probably 30 days from now which is when the warranty ends.

It's a God tier mouse in the price range along with the mx 518.
Is it worthwhile to build a computer on a budget of £150. I helped my friend build one today and I enjoyed building one, but unfortunately I only have £150 to spare.

Worth purchasing? I'm trying to spend only a max of $250 for a new GPU.

No. Any build for that price, if even possible, would probably be worse than your current system.

How much should I save? My friend spent £600 on his, but that was supposed to be a top spec gaming computer, I want one for music editing and maybe a bit of minecraft and source games.

I have the Logitech G5 and I hate the braided cord, it's completely torn up from rubbing against the edge of the desk when using it..
This might be a stupid question and WAY to early to ask but...
I had thoughts about buying new parts for my PC after Christmas but after thinking I maybe have to spend my money on other more important things like my car and stuffs, and maybe finish school first and get a job(which I have somewhat).
So my question is. Will my build last enough to play games (Don't care if I can play on low or high) at all for like after the summer next year? The most advanced game I have right now is bf3 I think and I can run that on low.

I'm thinking about getting myself a new motherboard (and these things that go with it) around christmastime, and I was wondering if going with these would be a good idea. Only need the motherboard, cpu and ram, everything else I have will work fine with these for now.

(probably two of these)[url]http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6812107&CatId=3361[/url]
I'm not expecting to run tons of new games on max, mainly because my graphics card is utter shit, I just need something to replace the crap mobo and cpu i have at the moment.
Well I've had these overclock settings on my 560 Ti for roughly a month or two now, and it has remained stable. I sort of want to bump it up more, but I'm not sure how much voltage it can safely take. It usually remains under 60C, rarely getting to 65+

Any opinions?
Got a Corsair 750w for $100 and a $35 case. Can anyone recommend a motherboard that supports k-series, is 1155 socket, works with DDR3 1333mhz ram, and supports SLI that's no more than $130? I found one that's $120 that seems to fit exactly, but I'd like to know if there's better. This is the one.

Oh yeah, and I can't use Newegg because they don't take Discover right now for some reason.

"it's worked for 5 minutes, 5* 100% 10/10"
the reason why newegg reviews and even many 'professional' reviews (up until not long ago) are useless crap
claiming it's fine says nothing about the PSU and everything about how suited you are to be recommending PSUs

if it's still in warranty then send them a support ticket or whatever it is and they will probably send you a g500 as a replacement
I did the same, free replacement and got to keep the original, nothing to complain about

if you're referring to consumer reviews ignore them completely, as a general rule consumers are morons and have no idea what makes a product good or bad (omg has LEDs 5* 100% 10/10)
plus the way people's general mentality works is if a product meets their expectations they're happy to just carry on, but if even the slightest thing goes wrong they feel the need to complain about it to the masses
if just 2% of the stock of a product is DOA but only 5% bother to write a review (and 2% of that 5 is all of the people who got DOA products) then it's going to look far more negative than it actually is
trust is far easier to lose than to gain
