Lets take another route. List the full specs of your system and the wattage of your power supply, because it could be that you lack the necessary output required to boot up your PC. Next, have you tried playing with the ram sticks? One of them could be faulty. Take em all out, put one in, boot...

Really? I would go for the 27''. I don't think the extra bump in resolution is significant whereas a jump from 24 to 27 makes your gaming/movie experience entirely different! And correct me if i'm wrong, but wouldn't the 16:10 aspect ratio require a stretch in resolution from traditional 1080p...

I'm not sure if you can use any other cooling system not specifically designed for your card... but you can check out this water cooling system: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/10069/ex-blc-705/Danger_Den_DD-5970_ATI_5970_VGA_Liquid_Cooling_Block_GPU-6899.html#blank

So technically, you have 1 case fan buddy... That won't cut it! What you should have is air flowing in from the front of the case and flowing out through the back. So 1 to 2 front fans, 1 to 2 back fance, and 1-2 large side fans. So cases even let you put top case fans. It should look something...

Right, well overclocking definitely depreciates the life of your card. What you can concentrate on now before overclocking is on your other cooling components. Do you have good case airflow? How many fans do you have?

Agree with Wildcard. Some games these days can even run up to 13gbs... and 4 games of that size will run you 52gbs... And according to Microsoft's webpage, you'll need "16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)" to install Windows 7.

70 degrees isn't high under load. Don't waste your money on GPU cooling unless you plan on overclocking. You're fine where you're at.

Download SeaTools and check to see if your hard drive has any errors.

Yep, I recommend that motherboard to a lot of ppl. Great value, enough heatsinks, and up to date components. The memory is good enough too. You'll never use up all those 4 gigs... Now, if you ever plan on overclocking, invest in a heatsink. Do not use the stock cooler. In terms of how the...

I read a lot of reviews suggesting to steer clear of WD green and blue drives. This Seagate is perfect. SATA 3, 32mb cache, 7200rpm.

Naa, asrock has been in the game for quite some time now, particularly around '07. They're parent company is ASUS. I've never owned one but they've passed smoothly onto the general public. But yes, those boards i linked you aren't top and are very very basic boards - hence the low prices. If you...

I'm a bit confused. What cord does the screen have and what input does your video card have?

Yeah, i'd say the upgrade is definitely worth it. As said in the post, benchmarks favor the 2500k. You'll have to purchase DDR3 memory if you go with intel. If you chose the amd x6 you'll need a new motherboard supporting the am3 socket. These boards support am3 and ddr2. So, if you decide to...

Yep, 1080p means 1920x1080 and 720p means 1280x720

Yep. I wouldn't bother with a lga775 quad core like mine. Better go with the i5 ;) I have the slightly better gtx260; the core 216. It has 896mb and 448-bits. Which is yours?

Yeah, dust is a killer man. I remember hearing this crazy warcry from my girlfriends pc... i opened it up, cleared an army of dust out of the heatsink, and the thing became as silent as a ninja

I have the same GPU with an Intel Quad Core. I remember playing Black Ops with the highest settings, i think AA x8... I don't know the fps but the game never lagged on me. But i think that if i had a Core ix processor i would've gotten better results. I think the GPU is sufficient enough but...

lmao, now i just feel stupid :p. i never liked those adapters because they're all so clunky. Let us know how your setup goes!
