i like the antec 900 plenty of room in it.. not the greatest for cabvle management but she is a solid case with very good airflow. there is a reason everyone and her mum has one XD ---- i got one

For $100, I'll say it flat-out: the Nine Hundred is a horrible case. Absolutely terrible. It might be worth $40 or so on the current market, but paying $100 for one in this day and age is absurd.

Has anyone downloaded these drivers? has anyone with a SINGLE CARD experienced any improvements/issues ?Chris_53
As I posted earlier, if you're on a driver version more recent than 285, there are NO performance increases listed for a single-card setup.

The Antec Nine Hundred is cramped, lacks a lot of more modern features like USB 3.0, CPU backplate cutout, 2.5" mounting for an SSD, and is just generally a hugely overrated case. The only case that has somewhat similar styling (and a similar price point) that I might recommend right now is the Corsair Carbide 400R.

So you don't think I need a cpu cooler? Or if I do could you recommend one?

The CNPS 9500 wasn't a great CPU cooler when it was released and it has only become worse over time. I personally don't care for any cooler design with a proprietary fan, especially inefficient ones. If you want a good cooler for a modern setup, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is probably one of the best choices on the market.

[QUOTE="ydnarrewop"] oops my bad...fixed now :)

That case is horrible. It was only mediocre when it came out five years ago, and it hasn't aged well. You can find $40 cases with more space, superior features, and identical build quality.

[QUOTE="ionusX"]

you have no case.. your cooler is un-necissary

ArchDemon123

And why is he choosing the non-k version of the i5?

He did say he wasn't going to overclock, and he's not using the onboard graphics. Doesn't sound like he needs the K version.

Given the specs of the machine in your signature, I'd say that waiting for Ivy Bridge is probably in your best interest, especially since it doesn't look like Guild Wars 2 will be out before then. They just started a semi-closed beta, so going off standard development cycles it probably won't be out before Q3 of this year. Also, MMOs love a good SSD. Loading times are incredibly snappy and things can really be sped up by keeping your favorite MMO on one. That CPU cooler is also pretty crappy, I wouldn't get one.

Ivy Bridge is just a tick, not a tock. New manufacturing process with refined architecture, not same process with lots of new tech. Prices will probably be approximately the same, though I'd expect an average of ~10% performance increases at the same price. In my opinion, the biggest reason to go for Ivy Bridge isn't the chip itself, it's the Panther Point chipset. We finally see on-chipset support for USB 3.0, and PCI-e 3.0 will be making a move to the mainstream. As for holding off on building a PC, I'd say that depends. If you have a capable computer right now, I'd say it's definitely worth the wait. If you don't have a computer at all right now, waiting is probably unnecessary.

No large gains for anyone on recent drivers. All those large single-card performance gains are listed as pertaining to drivers versions 285 and prior. Since I'm on 295.73 and not running SLI or any PhysX games, I doubt I'll be picking these up.

[QUOTE="achilles614"]Aside from price how is the g400 any better than the g500? Been looking for a mouse to replace my Logi G5.

The sensor itself is better. The sensor position is better. The dual side buttons feel better and are better placed than the wonky three-button configuration on the G500. The CPI steps are not interpolated, meaning the mouse performs better at the settings it does have than some wonky imagined "perfect" setting. While I don't personally care for either shape, I'd say that the comfort edge goes slightly in favor of the G400, but that might just be because I've had more time with mice like the MX510 and the MX518.
well the best mouse ever is the WMO if you want to get technical and used by most pros, but i gave up educatinz le ppl on dis forum.JigglyWiggly_
I thought the IMO 1.1a was more widely used than the WMO? Both are extremely popular of course so I guess it doesn't really matter.
