What do you think of my first build?
GymJunkie replied to GymJunkie's topic in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice
Yea I was thinking about that but I know I cant wait till october, already been waiting a very long time to be able to play anything new. I will most likely stick with the 6850, for now at least. I could always sell it later when I get more cash for something better. Thanks a lot for the suggestions. If you read he has 2 x 4gb which is 8gb... Also, like others have said, try to get a PSU from a more reputable company as it's something you do not want to skimp out on, considering it can be the one thing that makes or breaks the system. I havent heard much about Ultra except that this particular psu is an extremely good buy (really good reviews). Very glad they steered me this way because I WAS looking at Kingwin and Rosewill till I heard they were pretty bad. I guess we will find out in a week or so if handles decently enough..STILL waiting on the ram to arrive tho, then gonna order the gpu on thursday. EDIT: Something I might want to add, the ram is dual channel, not separately bought. -

Well I certainly like the price. The numbers are higher on everything but since Idk anything about GPUs all I can do is assume that means its better in all ways, am I right? Specs on both -

Only problem with both those suggestions is I wanted to buy the card this payday so I could start playing my games and I cant afford a $320+ card atm and the 460 appears to be more than required for my games. If you have another suggestion, nVidia or ATI (really dont care), for $180 or lower please feel free to suggest them. Highly prefer around $150 tho -

I am going to be gaming so OCing will be something Ill eventually do. And I think I found the GPU I want as well, has some really high reviews by dozens of different people on 6 sites, Im thinking Im getting a GTX 460 for now, eventually go with two. -

GymJunkie replied to manofthehour's topic in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice

How is their stuff measured?
GymJunkie replied to GymJunkie's topic in Second Skin Sound Deadening and Automotive Insulation!
damn, aight well thanks guys -
Ive always been under the impression that "9 sq feet" meant a sheet of material 9 feet long by 9 feet wide but Ive ordered stuff from other online shops before and it came as 9 feet by 1 foot so I need to know how Second Skin measure their products. Mainly looking at their Damplifier Pro and Overkill Pro

Whats wrong with my roommates comp?
GymJunkie replied to GymJunkie's topic in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice
Sry for the delay. Looking closer to mine I think its actually a 20 pin as well. If I feel ambitious enough tonight to pull out 2 PSUs, hook em up again in different comps, unhook them, and hook them back up to their original then I will and Ill let you know lol. -

One thing was for road trips, me and my friend frequently take road trips, sometimes down to kansas even, so the bigger the selection we can have the better the trip ya know? Not to mention its just a hassle unplugging it from the car, plugging it into the comp, adding what i want, etc, everytime i decide i want something different then whats on there. -
How about an ssd with my hu?
GymJunkie replied to GymJunkie's topic in Head Units-Processors and Eq's
Problem is I have over 50 gigs of music and over 70 gigs of music videos. I guess if it wont work then it wont work. Time to save up for 3 or 4 64gig usb drives. -
Im sick of always burning discs, so i figured id buy an ssd (solid state drive), store all my music and music videos on it, and plug it into my jensen uv10 thru usb. Any thoughts/suggestions?
