    Re: 8350 or 8320?

    Yeah, but the older one puts out. The younger one would need to be wined and dined.

    Re: Support for 3 monitors

    All 600 and I would imagine upcoming 700 series supports up to 4 monitors. You just have to choose a card with the outputs you desire (be it 2 x DVI + HDMI/DP).

    Re: 8350 or 8320?

    Glad you finally got a positive experience from all of this! Good luck on clocking it up there. I'm still running a X6 1100T @ 3.8 GHz, and so far it has been good for me. I have a FX-8350 that I...

    Re: 8350 or 8320?

    Eh, what could go wrong? I guess I wouldn't get too fussed up about it if the actual chip itself is the correct model.
  5. Re: Havent changed CPU in 3 years, do i even need to ?

    Definitely check with your MB manufacturer for updated BIOS that may support Vishera based CPUs. I guess the FX-6300 is now around $112, and that is a pretty fantastic price for a processor that can...

    Re: mobo for amd

    Your 965 will last a while. Still a decent processor, just not terribly exciting anymore. But hey, it is free right? If you don't plan on doing multi-GPU, then even a 970 based board will give you...

    Re: 680 or 7970?

    Yeah, both cards are good. I like that the HD 7970 has 3GB of memory and that the non-GHz edition can be easily overclocked to that level (and you save around $50). You get PhysX support with the...

    Re: ah, which video card upgrade

    Looks like a good solution for you. It will certainly be a LOT faster than your 2600XT.
  10. Re: brother's pc- upgrade around his X2-220 or go A-10, Piledriver, i3?

    Get a decent AM3+ mobo and a Phenom II X4. Should be under $200 for the combo. Use a spare case and PS, that DDR-3 1600, SSD, and the 7750. Repurpose his machine for whatever you want. That will...

    18A on 12V rails are the industry standard. Most power supplies will tell you what rails supply what cables/peripherals. Having multiple rails is not a bad thing, you just need to be careful. ...

    Re: Intel or AMD

    Not a huge difference between the 2700 and 3770K. In fact, the 2700 might overclock better. The only thing you would be missing is PCI-E 3.0 support with the 3770. If you are doing high end SLI,...

    Re: Intel or AMD

    The only thing that AMD really competes on is price. Their latest FX processors are more competitive with what Intel has, and the FX-8350 does pretty well against the i5 3570K and is about $20...

    Re: How many video cards?

    Usually have a max of 4 x single GPU cards, or two x dual GPU cards. But of course it depends on the system, the cards, and the amount of slots/space available.
  18. Re: Will the price of old gen AMD APU go down?

    Prices have already gone down. 3870K used to be around $130, but now you can pick it up for around $95 on special.

    Re: video card recommendation

    Huh, you might be better off just getting a new computer and salvaging drives out of the old. Otherwise, you might be able to get away with a HD 7750.

    I don't think it is every Sunday, but it will certainly be a lot more common. This would probably be a decent place to put in your $0.02 about what game you would like to play.

    What price range are you willing to go to? Those Korean monitors that Ken took a look at a few weeks ago certainly hold a lot of appeal.
