    The ASUS MAXIMUS V EXTREME is better in my books. Also are you open to SSD's?

    CPU/Mobo asus maximus v extreme motherboard or gigabyte ga z77x up5 th?

    @sorceror it is going to be hard to make an over-clockable RIG in your budget. If you can drop that requirement it will be better OR we might need to look at alternatives. This is what I suggest -- Intel Core i5 3450 ~11000/- GIGABYTE-B75M-D3H ~4500/- Corsair Vengeance 4GB x2 1600MHz...

    New Phone for wify

    The camera is good with the NOKIA Lumia 820 and both the XPERIA's. The SAMSUNG S II also is a strong contender and the camera can hold its own. As mentioned the XPERIA SL is not a successor to the S but just a slightly faster core-clock with ICS Out of the box. For the best battery life...

    The Witcher Enhanced Edition (Director's Cut) - Discussion Thread

    It is one of the places where the developers improved on the previous game and that is what makes me like these folks so much more than EA, UBISOFT and ACTIVISION. Okay rabid fanboy leanings aside, I think it was a design decision as well because Geralt has lost his memory and he is...

    41-50k cheapest gaming pc for 1080p max setting AA

    You can go with the ASUS Direct CU II, the core-clock has already been bumped up to ~900MHz and it is a proven over-clocker so you should be able to reach close to the 1 GHz mark. Pricing is mighty good as well. No, the FX-8350 (stock) gives you performance close to the Core i5 3570k (stock)...

    The Witcher Enhanced Edition (Director's Cut) - Discussion Thread

    Yes, this was one of the reasons in the latter game killing monsters garners effective tactical knowledge that can be deployed against them later. Currently who are you supporting, The Order of the Flaming Rose OR the Scoia'Tel? P.S. -- You can take Carmen to the party if you wish to...

    Urgently Need Help for Buying Smartphone

    The XPERIA J has got anaemic hardware compared to all phones in its price range. The Sola and the go are better of hardware wise and support wise (official in the latter's case and developer community based in the former). The OPTIMUS L9 is definitely a good phone but the camera is...

    31-40k Need a new processor :)

    I would suggest that if you want to play the next GTA series with any modicum of stability wait a few more months, let Intel release Haswell, AMD out its HD8*** series cards and then purchase anything. Lots of changes and more than that the if GTA V follows in the footsteps of GTA IV we are...

    @babloos this is what I suggest for your requirements -- Intel Core i5 3550 ~12500/- (no point going for a i5 3570k as you are not over-clocking) GIGABYTE-B75M-D3H ~4500/- Corsair Vengeance 4GB x2 1600MHz ~3500/- Corsairt TX v2650W ~5800/- GIGABYTE / ASUS GTX670 ~27000/- OR Sapphire HD7950...

    PC Peripherals Help me decide - Corsair TX650 and Seasonic X-series 560W

    If you can afford the Seasonic SMPS nothing comes close. It is in a class of its own. For more on the same -- http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=202 http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Seasonic-X-Series-560-W-Power-Supply-Review/1118/2...

    Kris not to go against your choice but I went through @crossbow's system on sale and I found it the same as yours save the monitor. Why are you spending extra on shipping the components, simply pick the one on offer. Agreed the cabinet is not the one you are looking for but the Carbide 300R...

    Iran's New Fighter Jet - Qahar '420'

    Reminds me of our Tejas, it has been stuck in the development loop forever. China's recent Chengdu class fighters are real threats as far as I can understand. They are no longer cheap knock-offs of Soviet designs although the air-frames still borrow heavily from that school of design.
