And it is because of the card? or because of the software with different equaliser settings.[QUOTE="soolkiki"]I'm da boss.I think that you actually helped me with my build a few months ago when I was checking on compatibility. Computer hasn't keeled over yet :PI'm Intel+AMD and I run fine. Listen to monsieurX. He knows what he's talking about.

[QUOTE="soolkiki"]I'm da boss. Thanks man ;) I heard that the Z77 MOBO you linked me requires a Bios Update or something cuz it will crash windows? Hibernation issue or something.. I really didnt understand itI'm Intel+AMD and I run fine. Listen to monsieurX. He knows what he's talking about.

And it is because of the card? or because of the software with different equaliser settings.Im assuming the card. i have no software installed other than drivers. onboard sound is tinny and always has been to me.Â

Sounds like EQ settings to me.Overclocking options sucked and ASRock offered no explanation as to when they will resolve the BIOS issue with Windows 8 causing it not to hibernate properly. EVGA still has not resolved it but I have confirmation from them there engineers are working on it. That and that particular ASRock Motherboard is considered a low to midtier Motherboard, the Extreme 9/11 series are your high end ASRock motherboards, but still not as good as ASUS Rampage IV Extreme/Maximus Extreme or EVGA Z77 FTW Motherboards. The EVGA offered so many more options compared to the board you have selected if you can get it at the price I did. Not to mention if by chance something happens to the primary BIOS you have 2 others you can switch to as backups.

So are Dell speakers. I know onboard is poor.[QUOTE="Krigen89"]Just built myself something for 875 CAN$ Gigabyte Sniper.M3 Intel i5-3570k 8gb Corsair low-profile RAM Corsair 750W modular power supply (wanted 600W, this was on special at same price) EVGA GTX 660 Superclocked Only thing I didn't buy was the tower itself as I had an old ATX one lying around. Will eventually change it for a small tower/micro-ATX that looks better. With a tower it should put you around your 1000$ depending on what you choose. Very happy with it so far.homeboylizardThe 7950 is way better than the GTX 660. And no point in getting a 30$ more expensive MOBO...the Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 or 6 is just fine.I've always been an AMD/ATI guy before (skipped PC gaming for a few years, budget issues) and always had these little nagging issues... decided to go Nvidia this time. That, and I wanted PhysX support. Also, I know the motherboard was slightly overpriced, but I wanted the higher-end sound chip and in my experience/everything I've read and heard: Gigabyte >> Asrock.
EDIT and the 7950 is much more expensive than the 660 SC, here in Canada anyways
