BEST MSI COMPUTER

Probably an MSI GT75VR with 1080 GTX, or the GT73VR lineup if you don't want a mechanical keyboard at all and rather have extra ram/HD. As a GT80 owner with the mechanical keyboard you hate, I can't rave enough about how great the keyboard actually is. Large laptop, but I only travel with it a...

How bad would a FX-6300 bottleneck a GTX 980?

This will be hooked to my 1080p TV. I plan on playing The Division on it. Would an I5 2300 be an upgrade over the FX 6300, because I also have an I3 2100 rig that I could pick up a cheap I5 2300 for. Aside from that, I'm trying to keep the expense minimal, as this is a secondary gaming rig.

How bad would a FX-6300 bottleneck a GTX 980?

I just picked up a GTX 980, and I wondering how badly the FX 6300 will bottleneck it? The FX-6300 is already built, so I was hoping not to screw around with it. If I overclock the FX-6300 will it still bottleneck?

I have an opportunity to upgrade laptops - Need some suggestions.

The Asus is the only choice at this point. I had a budget of $2500, and could only order it from Best Buy Business (NOT Bestbuy.com), since we have a corporate account. It will be primarily used for work, and gaming during my personal time.

NewYorksFinest, you really aren't helping at all. I tried being polite and asking direct questions, but I think I just have to say it - your opinion on 2 completely different models offers ZERO help to this situation. I appreciate the attempt, but you're adding confusion. :-( Let me put it this...

Okay, so how was it better? And when you say you tested both, you tested the exact 2 models we're talking about, or just models of each brand?

Have you personally even owned laptops from both brands?

I currently own a Samsung Series 7 Gamer, and I've owned a lot of laptops, and this one is probably the best I've owned. The layout, ergonomics, display, etc - it is all perfect for me. The display on this laptop is a 400 nit full HD 1080p 17" display and it is probably the best display I have...

Complete Polymer AR-15 lower receiver-$99.99 + Shipping & FFL xfer fees

wonder how this ranks compared to my Cav Arms CAV-15 composite lower. I have a sportical upper on that rifle, and that thing is so light! This is definitely a viable option for a lower, but it just feels like all the companies who try making these things end up going broke.

i3 2100 or Phenom X4 830?

I probably won't spend too much time trying to OC it. Its for my home theater, so unless its giving me significantly better framerates that would make otherwise unplayable games playable, its just not worth the effort. I tried playing with the overclocking in the MSI bios, and it grew unstable...

i3 2100 or Phenom X4 830?

I feed my audio to an external decoder, so I just need SPDIF passthrough. I haven't really tried it on this card - but I need it to either pass through 7.1 or decode 7.1 as its going into my home theater receiver. I was probably just going to pick up a Sound Blaster X-Fi or a Fatality. With...

Bought both on sale at Microcenter and now I have an extra, so I'm trying to figure out which one I want to keep. This will be my HTPC/ gaming on my projector rig. The Phenom 2 x4 setup: AMD Phenom X4 830 2.8Ghz QUAD Core MSI 880GM-E35 Motherboard (RAID and onboard Radeon) OCZ Vanquisher Heat...

having some issues with an OC on a 2500k advise/help please?

i also tend to agree it feels like a ram issue, or a motherboard issue, in regards to this ram. when i disabled the XMP, it truly felt like stability increased. i've tried manually setting the memory timings and voltage, and still had random locks and hangs. I'm also getting this strange...
