    What games are you hoping to get good deals on this Black Friday?

    Definitely hoping Best Buy drops the Rock Band 4 bundle. $250 is nuts, but a sale and GCU will get it down to a more reasonable $160-180.

    Want to update my video card, check my other parts

    That comparison looks to be a 280x compared to a 970. The proper comparison shows that they are very even. This is the 290x on "uber" compared to the evga 970 that I think is overclocked: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1059?vs=1355 Performance wise, neither is universally better than...

    Official Elder Scrolls Online Discussion Thread (PC) - Game now available for Preorder, Collector's Edition!

    Bought it for $41 from Direct2Play.com. Never tried an MMO, but love The Elder Scrolls, and finally have a group of friends that are getting a game like this. I can't imagaine paying $15 a month for it, I'm betting I'll play the hell out of it for the 1st month, and then hope that they drop the...

    Pc Build - $1,300 - Editing / Game Capture --- Need Advice

    Many people said the same thing about Ivy Bridge compared to Sandy Bridge. The Core i5 4670k is a superior processor, but get whatever's cheaper, it's not better by much. MC is at least $50 cheaper than anybody else, so that will needed to be added to the final price. $1,000+ is expensive for...

    Crysis 3 crashing starting on second mission with EVGA GTX 780 superclocked ACX

    In case that doesn't work or you want another suggestion, update to the newest drivers or downgrade to older drivers, that can solve a lot of compatibility issues. This sounds like a more widespread problem, but it could still work. http://www.geforce.com/drivers

    Breaking out into the PC market

    Minimum wattage would be 750W, and recommended would be 850W. So even if you go wild and sink $1,400 into graphics cards, a $120 power supply would be plenty. Although, we are really arguing about pennies in comparison to what the rest of your computer would likely cost. lol

    Breaking out into the PC market

    I believe most people who deal with computers would say that you're way off here. You definitely can go with a nice power supply, since that is something you will carry over to your next system, but you are not going to run FOUR 780 ti's in SLI, and likely won't get a 2nd 780 ti. It's okay to...

    Should I upgrade, or wait? (current PC specs inside)

    That computer seems pretty solid, should be able to play most games. Upgrading this is so difficult, because there's not a glaring weak spot that can be easily addressed. Obviously, you want faster memory, but then you'd have to buy a new processor and motherboard as you said. And if you're...

    Breaking out into the PC market

    Whoa, how did the budget go from $800 to $2,000 when you found out you had less money? I'm assuming you're just joking. lol If you're playing on a 1080p monitor, a $300 GTX 770 will play games maxed out, and almost every component listed offers terrible price to performance ratio. Even if money...

    Here's a good power supply on sale for $30 AR. I'm running a GTX 770 overclocked and a core i5 3570k off it, and it runs great. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL020614&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL020614-_-EMC-020614-Latest-_-PowerSupplies-_-17139027-L030D

    Recommendations on pre-built desktops for gaming.

    Sorry for the long post, but would like to help. That desktop won't be able to play the latest games and is terrible for the price but I've looked into some setups for around $800 that might work. Going through bestbuy is just about the worst possible option for buying a computer, so I...

    Definitely agree with Fanbygamer, SSD is a very good option, here's a nice deal on a 240GB drive for $120: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/113400/newegg---240gb-crucial-m500-2.5-sata-iii-internal-solid-state-drive-ssd I've seen GTX 760's selling for $200 and GTX 770's selling for $280, so you...

    The Ultimate 'Build-A-PC' Thread. Complete With Pricings & Recommendations (06/06/10)

    That's very true, it should be great with future games. Microcenter only gives motherboard discounts on select processors, but the 8320 is only $100, so they come out to the same price with a motherboard, $170. For anyone wanting a cheaper GPU, the 7850 has about the power of the Xbox One, and...

    The Ultimate 'Build-A-PC' Thread. Complete With Pricings & Recommendations (06/06/10)

    These are new prices: FX 8320- $150 (or $100 at Microcenter, but not available in all states) Asus 760g- $50 8 GB Ram- $60 1 TB HDD- $50 R9 270X- $200 Corsair 200R- $30 500 Watt PSU- $30 So about $570 new, if you're buying it used, I think $450 is a reasonable price to ask for, and $500...

    This is $300 after promo code: 64888 http://www.staples.com/Lenovo-H535-Desktop-PC/product_57448 Looks to be almost exactly what you were going to get, and it includes Windows (which costs $80-100 anyways) and includes wifi so you don't have to buy another adapter.

    Price check on my current computer

    If the parts were new, I'd say it's something like this based off of sale prices over the past month of comparable/better parts: Processor- $200 Motherboard-$100 Power Supply-$80 Graphics Card-$180 SSD-$140 Case-$60 RAM-$100 That totals $860 for new parts, so assuming everything is in...
