My new egg order ships monday. My tiger direct order should ship monday as well.

I'm pretty curious about the case, I hope it looks ok.

This will be my first time using a mechanical keyboard too.

tiger is pretty fast. they have warehouses in CHI and GA now so most of the time i get my stuff in 2 days via UPS.

the case.... that baby is a FULL ATX so get ready on big beast monster, you'll have lots of room for whatever you want and a bottom mount power supply.

Just keep the power supply off the floor sucking up dust.

I didn't see another place besides the bottom of the case to put the power supply.

After examining the photos, it looks like it comes with all the case fans I will need. So, I guess I'm good there.

Are the cpus overclocked in the bios? It's been awhile since I have messed with them. I remember I used to be able adjust the clock multiplier, and FSB in the bios.

Does the cpu come with thermal paste/pad or do I need to pick some up?

It only takes one day to ship to my house from GA. Newegg is shipping most of my order from TN, so that's one day also. However some of my order from new egg is coming from, CA, and a couple of items are coming from NJ.

the cpu will come with a pad of paste on the heat sink, but the 1st thing I do is take rubbing alcho and remove it and put on some nice stuff.

processor overclocking can be done on the fly with a program you install with your motherboard, same with video card.

What do you think sn00z?

I just ordered this, and maybe plan on returning the other card, I just ordered.

http://slickdeals.net/f/5099688-XFX-Double-D-Radeon-HD-6870-1GB-GDDR5-PCI-Express-Video-Card-HD-687A-ZDFC-Dirt-3-Gaming-Coupon-136-50-after-30-Rebate-Free-Shipping

I know this card is older, but it seems that it performs better than the one I ordered, and it comes with a game to boot.

I still have time to cancel this one if it's not worth it. I may even be able to sell the game to recoup some of the costs to make it a better deal.

hmmm

900mhz 1120 streams 256 bit width GDDR5

HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the ram is slower so its like a trade off but I'd say it would be better then anything you've posted.

i hate shopping for video cards, you've almost got to ignore everything except the dirty details.

i really try, i ride as much is as can... if its smooth sand i'll deal with it but the tire cuts into dirt like a hot knife.

you gota go REALLY slow or you'll end up IN the dirt but you can... if it has some grass cool, but rocks and shit are a no go. So i've just kinda came to the conclusion that its faster and less of a pain in the ass to just jump off and walk it.

Awesome... How is Tiger Direct's return policy?

Maybe I can exchange for the same card so I can crossfire...

Its good, just call them up and say you don't need it or you made a mistake.

They like exchanging as well... they'll email you a pre-paid ups label and you are done.


I wouldn't mess with crossfire until you see you really need it, once card and proc overclocking stop working then you crossfire.

gdamn target. I can't leave that place without spending at LEAST $50. I went in there to see if they still had flip-flops for my 2.5 year old...well they didn't and I still spent $90. DAMN THEM!

Also, why the hell do running shoes have to be so damn ugly? Are they venomous or poisonous or something...is that why everything is neon...to warn others of the danger? oh right, it's still the 80's.

Well I'm going to get my Vision Streetwear sweater back on and get ready break out my jnco's...cuz the 90's are coming!

Well my brother went off the deep end due to his wifes GMC acadia lets see it has 105,000 miles on it and has had new top end due to timing chain and as of now 3 transmissions. Guess those Acadia's are plagued for issues. I pretty sure there will be a new car or SUV in the future for his wife.
