  • Aside from Overclocking and SLI, which I won't be doing, and number of available SATA, USB, etc. connections, will the B85 chipset actually perform worse than the Z87?  Does it cap at like 3.0 Ghz for the CPU, or have less bandwidth for the PCI-E x1…

  • Any suggestions for a different mobo then?   Is there anything sub-$100 from that website that would be a better choice?

  • Well since I don't need the case (I have several extra cases) and the PSU isn't any good, this doesn't seem like such a great deal anymore maybe?   Is the processor + MB + ram for $250 a good value, if I ignore the case and PSU?

  • What makes this PSU bad?  It doesn't give a model but the closest I can find:   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153023   seems to have solid reviews from thousands of people.

  • Bah you guys are too slow, its out of stock now.   Guess it was a really good deal after all.  :-(   Edit: Now its back in stock again.   Go figure.

  • Guys.....like half the pop is on PS3 with no keyboards.  That's why there is relatively little chat.

  • There aren't any MMO's, at least not major ones, with good mob AI.  I don't know why, maybe its too hard to program or players just don't care that much about it.  But all mobs in all MMO's are either dumb or scripted (or both), none actually react …

  • Originally posted by Quizzical A lot depends on what benchmarks you're looking at.   Is there a website that shows cpu benchmarks related to gaming?  I've been looking at the Passmark ones but I have no idea what they are measuring.  I don't…

  • So the motherboard I linked won't work well with an FX-8320?     Edit: One other question, I have like half a dozen old (VERY old) PC cases in my garage.  Will these cases work with new boards or did the basic design change in the past 8-10 years?

  • Reply @ Quizzical or really anyone who can answer the question I guess.    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8140617&CatId=1946 was the processor suggested for $90, but for $110 I could get a FX-6100 wh…

  • I'm torn on the issue.  I hope that hundreds of addons don't become the norm like in WoW, where you basically needed to install an entire suite of addon software to raid.   On the other hand, I don't see the issue with DPS meters myself.  The two …

  • Thanks for the replies so far everyone.  I don't need a monitor or speakers or keyboard or anything like that.  I have to buy from tigerdirect because I get a work stipend every 2 years but its only good at this store unfortunately.  On the bright s…
