The Mother Board

Thoughts, suggestions, no money. TIA! 3 computers and only need one, but don't have budget to upgrade just yet and targeting later this year to build a dedicated gaming system. Needs - Home PC, light 1080P gaming, Plex server (literally just to manage storage and I don't transcode and use Apple TVs ...

. . .honestly, I'd reconsider not getting an SSD - I think they're almost a must-have for any new builds, and really are very reasonable in price. it's not uncommon to see 256gb drives dip below $100, and 128's even under $50 sometimes. if large storage is needed - sure, get a spinner - but in term...

First, I noticed my signature is like 6-8 years old I think. . .please ignore. Haven't been on in a while. QUESTION What is a good CPU, MB, Video card combo for under $500 for a budget gaming PC? BACKGROUND In January 2012, I built my son (10 at the time) a budget PC (~$400 total) so he could play M...

Ended up going with an AMD A4-3400 Llano. Was able to keep the costs under $400. System is built, and have upgrade path with graphics card (running off A4 chip for now), as well as motherboard will take 16GB. Thank you.

Thanks, wasn't battery (replaced). Been shopping for pcs for a couple of days and have come to the conclusion that for $350, you get crap. However, I think I have something. How does this look? Approximate Purchase Date: This morning Budget Range: ~350 System Usage: 9yo son's pc. . .General Usage an...

My son's PC bit the dust last night. It was slimline Dell that was over 5 years old (impressed it lasted that long). Rather than invest any time or money in trying to figure out what occurred (power, but no screen, and no post. . .), going to either build a replacement or buy. Have not built a compu...

Where else. . . http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16856101016 OOS I am giving up for the next 30-60 days, but will spend time watching the AMD vs. Intel / ATI vs. Nvidia / my mobo manufacturer's butt smells better than yours debate. . . I have spent way too much time reviewing all o...

Thanks. I saw that brand, but was not familiar with them. No, both systems will be running digital. Same resolution as well

Purchased 22" Spectre with a native 1680x1050 resolution. Have a Startech KVM now with PS2, audio and VGA that works great in analog. I want to move to DVI based USB and Sound KVM. The only two that I have found with decent reviews for under $200 street are: Avocent Switchview Dvi 2 Port USB KV...

Karlsweldt, I too am curious about the 256 vs. 512MB. If I am running a 22" LCD, and want very high res (native 1680x1050), would 256 be enough? Also, I now keep seeing conflicting info on the whole two card vs. one card issue. On one site (might have been here or Tom's Hardware), they did a ca...
