Just wanting some input on which GTX 580 to buy for my next gaming rig, because I can't make up my mind. - MSI GTX 580 Lightning - Asus GTX 580 DirectCU II I realise that the MSI is more aim at extreme overclocking rather than a card thats gonna be put into a case, but there's no reason why...

I've been pretty keen on getting an Intel Core i7 2600K for my new pc but I've since started to consider the Intel Core i7 970. There is a bit of a difference in price in Australia. 2600K is $370 while the 970 is $610. But I'm not really stressed out by the extra $240. I'm gonna be using the...

I'm wondering why where is such a price difference between these two power supplies: - Corsair AX1200 Gold - Silverstone Strider 1200 Gold Both are 1200 watts, both are 80 plus Gold certified, both are 100% modular, yet in Australia, the Corsair is $100 more than the Silverstone.

Which IPS monitor is better and why? - Dell U2410 - Asus PA246Q ProArt Both have fairly similar, if not the same specs, and are priced pretty much the same. If any1 has owned or does own one of these monitors, could u leave some input as to how they perform, both for normal/office everyday...

From what I can gather, the only way to overcloock the CPU on most P67 motherboards is by overclock the turbo itself and not the CPU multiplier. However after watching/reading the review on the Gigabyte P67A-UD7, Tom explains that u can overclock the CPU on this board by messing about with the...

Looking at a few motherboards to buy for my next rig, and I came across something strange about the Asus Maximus IV Extreme. I plan to be running two graphics cards (probs dual 580's) but the PCI bandwidth on the Asus board is a little strange. The Asus website quotes: Single @ 16x Dual @...

1) Gigabyte P67A-UD7 2) Asus Maximus IV Extreme 3) MSI Big Bang Marshal I will be running an Intel Core i7 2600K, 8GB (2x4GB) memory @2133MHz and an Asus Radeon HD6950. I will be upgrading to a GTX590. If we ignore the price of the boards and the size difference between them, which should I...

Does anyone have any suggestions on what would be a good gaming high resolution monitor. Resolution: 2560x1440 or 2560x1600. I am going to be gaming on the monitor so it would be good if it had a good response time. Any suggestions?

I'm upgrading my mobo and i need a new case. I need a case that is capable of fitting a XL-ATX mobo. I am aware of the CoolerMaster HAF X, but i'm not a big fan of the styling. Any suggestions?

I have a 2600K processor and i plan to upgrade my graphics card to the GTX590. Will the 2600K have any problems in keeping up with the GTX590 or will it need to be overclocked?

I need fast dual channel memory (would prefer 2x4GB modules instead of 4x2GB). The speed i want is at least 2000MHz, even better if it was 2133MHz. But most importantly, i need memory that can fit under the Noctua NH-D14, without having to remove heatsinks off the ram. Suggestions would be great.

Hey TTL, I'm currently putting together a new gaming rig because my computer at the moment is as slow as custard. I'm looking to spend around 2000 quid, give or take a couple hundred. Here's what I've got planned: Intel Core i7 2600K (because I can't afford an extreme edition 1366 processor)...
