Re: Thinking of Building A Desktop - Would like some Advice

So I'm looking at newegg and it seems they finally have the new 2500k and 2600k processors out! But I can't seem to find a motherboard, so I guess I still have to wait for those. But I've been looking around the net, and been trying to find out more about 2500k. Is it true the main difference betwee...

Re: Prize money

I have a good friend that I've known since we were kids. He's currently in college himself, but manages to pay all of his school/housing/food expenses by poker winnings alone. He's not a millionaire by any means, but I've seen first hand him taking in $40,000 in an online poker tournament. It's insane

[quote=""Kildeer""]Hehe in my defense, I played Japanese right from the day Asian Dynasties came out - and not Chinese which were OP with their disciples and hand mortars at that time. ;-) I liked Japanese better, unfortunately they became the OP civ - oh well doesn't matter now ...

Re: SC2 vs AoE 3

I haven't played SC2 in a while, but I remember I missed the macro side of AOE. Always felt that just gathering two res in SC2 was lacking after playing AOE again

Re: Thinking of Building A Desktop - Would like some Advice

Yeah I read AMD usually consumes more power than intel CPUs. It's just going to be torture having to wait until April to finally get this build :(

Can an Nvidia card work with an AMD CPU?

Re: Thinking of Building A Desktop - Would like some Advice

Good to know! So i guess while I wait for that damn Sandy Bridge to finally come out again, I can update the parts I already have when I find some good deals/better parts. Just saw this 2TB HDD from WD. Only $10 more, but it doesn't state the RPM's..what's people's take on it? http://www.newegg.com/...

Re: Thinking of Building A Desktop - Would like some Advice

ah didn't even notice that it was 5400 rpm. Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe I'll keep it if I get SSD for windows/games like aaryn suggested, otherwise I'll get a 7200 rpm. Thanks for the input about the HD screen adder. I already have a TV for my PS3, but wasn't sure if it would make a differen...

Re: Thinking of Building A Desktop - Would like some Advice

So I'm getting closer to actually finalizing my build and ordering the parts. Aaryn was nice enough to help me find some parts and give me advice on it, so I thought I would share what I have saved atm, and see what your opinions are.
