Yeah still I think you should go with the Corsair, the 2 year extra warranty really seals the deal for me.

Hey guys, My friend was building a computer. Thought I'd ask for some advice. Q: What is your budget? 1. 40K Q: What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model) None Q: Which hardware will you be keeping (component name -...

It's probably too late. I mean the 6xxx series is just round the corner and I think it will be offering a lot better performance at the same price,right?

Slightly off topic but I'd like to point out that the CPU refers to the processor. People have the habit of calling the entire case and everything inside it as CPU,which is not correct. Anyways to decide what GPU you need to buy,you'll need to tell us what Monitor you use,and what is the native...

This is something that I have been giving a lot of thought to as well. I've had a couple of Samsung Hard Drives fail on me recently and subsequently lost a shit load of data.

You don't wear or drive your graphics outside do you? :P If all you want from your car is to go from Point A to Point B then that statement does stand. People buy Ferrari for the brand value,attention and the pleasure. There are only two main brands as far as graphics card are concerned...

It does looks like a case of bad PSU. If you can get your hands on a second PSU that'd be great. Also I think it might be a simple case of an electric short. If the PSU suggestion doesn't work out try removing all your components,put them up on a cardboard and test it after that. Edit:- I...

If those things have 2560x1600 then I guess it makes sense to get a 5970. Still I think for 1080p resolutions a 5850 should suffice no? I doubt it'll make a lot of difference if you play at 50FPS or 100FPS,the human eye and brain can perceive only so much.

Okay it's weird that nobody has suggested this already,but check your bios log. If there was a thermal trip then it will be there in the log! ;) Your Graphics card temperatures look okay to me. TMPIN0 is most probably the northbridge It's on the higher side but nothing insane. I'd recommend...

So I got a second hand 9800GT 512MB from a TE member and I wanted to say that I am quite happy with my purchase. My monitors native resolution is 1440x900 and I can run Mafia 2 and Call of Duty:MW2 maxed out at around 30 and 45 FPS respectively. Finally I can play games "The way it's meant to be...

Why don't you RMA it yourself and then sell it? Could sell it for a little higher maybe... Oh and love your handwriting! :)

If are worried about wastage buying a new P.S.U will not go to waste,I myself have an extra 600W Iball SMPS around just incase. That being said these are not very reliable PSUs. By getting a Gigabyte 460W you'll be making sure that your components are safe. If you want to troubleshoot it, Keep...

Thanks for all your input guys, I went ahead and got a second hand 9800GT and I think it should be able to play almost all games at 1440x900 and medium to high settings,so I guess I am set for now. Personally I won't be upgrading to anything newer on my PC right now. I remember a few years...

I don't get it,are you talking about the green light on the front of the case or the green light on the motherboard? If it's the second thing then it's most certainly the power supply (if you are unlucky could be the motherboard.).

I seriously think there is a problem with your RAM. Remove the RAM,clean it up and after putting it back try turning the Computer on again. As far as I know Problem with the PSU never manifests itself in alarms. But if that doesn't fix things then I guess do what the repair guy said. Atleast...

Seriously that's a steal,Q6600 is still a pretty fast processor. It can handle all the games I play with little or no difficulty whatsoever.

how was the core faulty? It wasn't performing upto the rated speed or what? Just curious because I own a q6600 myself.

Asus Silent 8500GT Shipped,how much ? Awesome HTPC card,no warranty though....

In my opinion Elite 310 will suffice,add an intake fan on the side and the front and you've got a cabinet with good airflow. I got the Elite 430 myself,it's aesthetically more pleasing and has more fan options. But you really don't need all that as I'm beginning to realize that myself. Neither...
