i5 760 + GTX670 GC 2GB = ? | seagate 2TB vs WD black 2TB ?

I'd say that first gen should still hold its own, as long as you give it a good oc.

Prime 95 Yes or No

I know a lot of people say that it is good to "burn in" a new build using p95 or similar software. I don't know the validity of this idea.

[Tom's] CPU Bottlenecking with 7970 CF - 3770k vs. 8350

Hopefully their Steamroller line can have the same 10-15% ipc bump. That would be nice to see them start to come back in the cpu competition.

no good video card deals. what to do?

Not going to lie, that 7870 LE looks like a great card. I think the title is a little misleading though, it should have been XT.

Which do you think would be a better upgrade?

I decided just to go ahead and get a fm1 quad and 7850, then when I get some more cash go ahead and do a platform overhaul, at least the 3870k should push out playable frame rates in modern games in the mean time. Thanks again eve one.

Mini-review of Antec's new budget-priced VSK-3000

Thanks, nice job. I agree, the Source 210 would be a much better option, I mean why do they still make cases with top mounted psu's anyhow?

I am trying this, I have used amd overdrive as well. It lets me adjust the multiplier and even registers @ 3gz on cpu-z. Guess I need to run some benchmarks to see if it really did increase the frequency or not. Thanks everyone for the input.

Pentium D 925 @ 3752.5 for a split second?

I really think it's just the cpu z glitching out under load. I think I had a rana chip that did the same, it jumped up to something crazy like 8ghz but I only saw it happen once while running prime95.

I currently have an a6-3500 (2.1/2.4turbo) That I built out of desperation when my wife's pre-built died. I also sold my old gaming machine. I am now at the point where I am going to upgrade. I am limited on budget ($350ish including monitor.) I want some opinions, i have narrowed it down to...

AMD Q4 results

Hopefully if the rumors are true about next gen consoles using apus/gpus from AMD. It will increase revenue and then they could put some money in r&d to get back on cpu front to give Intel a run for the money in the high end.
