How much have you spent at newegg over the years?

All personal purchases - $6k since 2003, so less than $1k a year, which isn't bad. It's gone down considerably in the last few years, after Fry's came to town.

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F4 1.5TB $49.99 Newegg

These are great for backup drives or to use for external storage. I bought one a month ago when they were the same price ($49.99), and have been pretty impressed so far.

Considering nVidia's logic for naming video chips, where does this rank in performance?

New Gaming PC Build - Help!

Wait 4 weeks until Bulldozer rears it's head. At worst Intel could/would drop their prices if AMD does come through with a decent cpu - or it might just be impressive enough to warrant a thorough vetting.

Newegg: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 7200rpm 32mb cache SATA - $49.99 FS

I've been VERY impressed with my Samsung F3 1TB, I'd definitely buy another if I hadn't bought the Samsung F4 1.5TB for $49.99 just last week. :sneaky:

Looking for a new CPU mostly for MMOs

Sorry, but I think you should jump all over this deal listed in the Hot Deals section (CM Hyper 212 + for only $14.99 after rebate plus shipping). You can't beat the performance for the price!

CPU Upgrade

Wait 6 weeks for Bulldozer to show it's performance (I would think the NDA would run out before the actual launch, so you may only have to wait 2-4 weeks). The CM Elite 430 is a good case, I use it. It's light, but that wont make much of a difference if you don't sit on it or place it under a...

can an AMD Athlon 2 X2 be snappier than an E8500?

Difference in RAM memory size/speed? I know when I went from 2GB to 4GB for the first time I was AMAZED at how much faster my system responded. I think it might be a combination of variables from going from one platform to the other that's giving you a better overall experience.

is AM3+ the official Bulldozer socket?

You might have a point, but by looking at the AMD 9X0 chipset specifications (which was build specifically for BD), they aren't that dissimilar from the AMD 8X0 chipsets. The 9X0 adds a few USB 3.0, removes all IDE support, faster and more (up to 32Gb) DDR3 memory support and not much else.

I'd go with the Phenom II X3 personally, many have had great success with unlocking the 4th core.
