Im looking for quality but not to pricey gaming headphones. I have some old cheap speakers that arent cutting it. Noise reduction isnt required as I have my own place and its usually quiet. Dont need to be wireless either. Any suggestions are appreciated.
ASRock N68-S Socket AM2+ Motherboard
with Geforce 7 Onboard Video / Sound / LANwith
AMDPhenom IIX3720Triple Core CPU
(2.8GHz, 1.5MB L2 + 6MB L3Cache, 4000FSB)
Also whats the difference between ddr2 and ddr3 ram(I believe this MB only supports ddr2)? And I dont plan on running SLI or overclocking. Just want a cheap gaming computer. I have a 8800 gt ill throw in with it and prob buy a new card next year.
Curious to know why the hate for ibuypower? Both of my pc's were from there and ran perfect. My next computer is going to be done by me but I never had a problem with them.
[QUOTE="General_X"][QUOTE="Adobio"]I've never used any sort of anti-static gloves/wrist straps on any of my builds and I haven't had any problems. I just touch an unpainted portion of the inside of my case periodically. That, or just touch the inside metal of your case and you're set to go.Ive heard before your suppose to use anti-static gloves of some sort so you dont fry your electronics. Any truth to this? Ive done everything aside from MB\cpu and never used any static protection and have been fine. Great guide im going to use it once I get the money to build my first computer from the ground up.

Ok thanks, after some money comes my way ill start the process.
I usually shop on ebay, any reason to choose newegg over ebay?
2 things
1. you'll need a new power supply
2. that's a slim desktop, so most likely your 8800 won't fit and you'd need to get a special slim graphics card(i'm pretty sure about this but correct me if i'm wrong)

was thinking the same things, my friend got a dell and put a 8800gt and the psu died. Ive decided to just build my own. Much more fun anyways

hmm i may just try to build my own, ive done most things except motherboard. I already have a audio card, graphics card, and a dvd drive. Thanks for the replies ill check the stickies in this forum.
I already have a 8800gt that I could throw in there. The reason I like it is because it comes with the monitor plus windows 7 and only equals 700. How would you rate this computer considering the price? Not looking to spend more then 700 on a gaming computer and would be nice to take advantage of my 8800gt I already have laying around. Ths doesnt include shipping + taxes not sure what they charge. Usually I like ibuypower.com but to get a monitor plus operating system it would be out of my budget and I would have to buy a video card there. Any advice is appreciated.
