Good PSU. I like the specs of the motherboard but i ever had an ASRock motherboard and can't say they're great. Though they seem to have slipped into the industry and lots of users like em.

Sorry to say no, only CrossFire.

You're welcome buddy. You can get a pretty nice motherboard for that price. Check this one out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130565

Did you install the new memory along with the ones currently installed? When you install memory with different speeds, your system will run with the lowest speeds out of the two. So although you think you're running at 6400, your actually running at 5500. And if you bought something less than...

Whats your budget for the motherboard like? And yes, 650W is more than enough. I don't see any bottlenecking in sight; it's a good system ;).

You should be able to run that PSU just fine

The Acer Aspire by far.

Definitely necessary if you plan on overclocking. You want your temps to be around 30 idle and 60 during max load. Those are considered good temps. You can overclock whenever you feel the need to. Keep in mind that consistent overclocking reduces a cpu's longevity. By how much really depends...

Applicable to 21.5 models ;) The E1940T is 19 inches which only supports up to 1366x768

If you plan on playing games then yes, get that card. Like i said, the type of connection you use won't affect gaming quality. The only difference is resolution size. HD resolutions don't come in 17-18 inch monitors though. Bear that in mind.

Welcome to HWF! Love the sandy bridge cpu, you've got more than enough memory, a nice case, and a great graphics card. Those will go great together. However, i don't suggest that Hard Drive, just because it's using an old SATA 2 connection when you could be using a SATA 3 connection at the same...

There are no stupid questions here at HWF ;) Welcome. The majority of monitors floating around the market have at least a DVI connection and most likely have an HDMI cable as well. The connection you use will not affect the quality of your games, besides resolution which is relative to your...

Very nice, congrats on the deal! I like acer's just because i've rarely repaired them over the years

sick avatar!

Edit: I forgot to mention that when you do choose an upgrade to your CPU, you might have to flash the bios so that your system can detect the CPU. But taking a look at Dell's support site indicates that latest version is version 2.6.3, which you already have ;)

Yep, so we can confirm you have an S1 socket. And we can also confirm that you must stay in the TL line for Turion and TK lines for Athlon. I ran into something interesting. The TL and TK lines are all S1g1 sockets, the g1 indicating Generation 1. The ZM, QL, and RM lines are S1g2 (generation...

True, it would take more time restoring the system back to normal. And if that's what you want to do you can use these steps. Otherwise, backing up and formatting is the fastest solution to remove this "rogueware".

Hm, cool add on. Just added it myself. I didn't know such a thing existed. This blog explains exactly how it penetrates your system.

Good suggestion Sniper! But i've used it before as a switch from FF... came back to my baby ;)
