I'd suggest this one, 5/5.

LOL.
Halo 4 PC edition?
The Intel SSD has much better reliability obviously, but the OCZ has twice the memory capacity for the same price. If price wasn't a factor, I'd go with a Samsung 830.

And yeah, you can add any non-steam game (in my case Audacity) and change its name under properties.

Mine was more believable

I would be smart to connect my computer and monitor(s) to a power-surge protector, wouldn't it? Any good brands I should look at?
If your computer isn't connected to a surge protector, you're doing it wrong.

Any one will do really. It'll be around $10 for a cheap 6-plug and $20 for an 8-plug with other features.

I don't have my computer hooked up to a surge protector.

Maybe I'll get one...

Who the hell do you think I am?

I went without a surge protector for a while and nothing bad happened, but it's probably better to have one.

If you have a power outage, you can say goodbye to your PSU without a surge protector.

I had a few outages with my old, old desktop.

Still works fine but who knows right?

I've had a few and only blown one PSU, but that's a $50 replacement that could have been prevented by a $10 surge.

CPU water cooling? Price is mostly irrelevant, as long as it's not ridiculously expensive. I have an i7 3820 (LGA 2011).

  • 11.16.2012 1:11 AM PDT

I'm so happy with my 660ti right now.

PC gaming makes me realize how far behind consoles are.

Even next gen GPU's won't match 660ti's

(P.S is this the most re posted thread ever?)

Same here. I've been looking at the alternative Intel liquid cooler, the Asetek one, though more because I love the LED lightng XD

Good water cooling tends to be very expensive, from what I've heard. Like, half the cost of your build expensive. But that's what I've heard from other places, I could be wrong.

Corsair and Antec make AIO water cooling kits, or you could look into getting a custom loop which usually goes up to a few hundred dollars.

What?? I mean surge protector or surge suppressor. I will get a decent one, but I hear a lot of modern PSUs have sort of built in surge protectors, or is that false?

You're like a slinky. Good for nothing, but you bring a smile to my face when I push you down the stairs.

Looking for a new keyboard. It doesn't need to be mechanical. I just want lights (blue or green) to match my other peripherals. Macro keys don't matter either.

$75 max please.

It's better to build your own.....but that one isn't bad I guess. I'd recommend to upgrade the PSU to a 650 watt PSU though.

There's far too much Intel and Nvidia in this thread for it to be healthy.. shame on you (wags finger).

We try to give somebody the best performance per dollar (or other currency) for their budget. If somebody has a lower budget, then i'd go with an all AMD system for that person, but if somebody has a higher budget, an Intel system is the way to go.

Now....with video cards on the other hand....AMD does make some pretty good cards....and so does Nvidia. Really it all comes down to what the person's budget is.

I'm not saying that AMD is a bad brand....they are a really great brand....but for a higher end build I don't suggest AMD.

I wouldn't go with Cyberpower or iBuyPower. I've heard mixed reviews about them. Some reviews talk about bad customer service, DOA, parts carelessly jammed into their places and such. Other reviews say that there have been no problems with the computer.
