As with a lot of other people I'm in need of a new PC to play Battlefield 3 mainly. I've been racking my brains but can't quite get the right balance of power and value for money so I'm in need of your help. Needs to include keyboard, mouse, speakers and monitor too. Budget is not firm and can...

Not at all, probably just me having a "man look". I think i'll swap the mobo for the D3SL as Ben has suggested. Give me something to build on then. Might also be worth mentioning that the resolutions won't be higher than 1360x768 for a while. 3 months + and i'll be getting a 22" monitor however.

Hi all, With my budget ~£450, i've come up with this with games in mind. What do you think? An improvements anywhere? XFX GeForce 8800 GTX XXX 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (PV-T80F-SHD9) Antec Sonata III Piano Black Quiet Case - EarthWatts 500W PSU Gigabyte...

I dont think it was the PSU as that still works and a different PSU in there doesnt, but still works in abother PC. I boiled it down to 2 things I think, either too much pressure (unlikely, but possible) or static as I didnt take the necessary precautions when fitting. A new mobo is on its...

Ok, i've tried all that, so much so i've put it all in a new case just in case it was that too, i'm running out of options. I recon the MB has died, what you guys think?

I'm not quite sure if this is what you need, but i'll give it a shot. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Sound and audio devices The go to advanced under speaker settings, there you should be able to select what speaker setup you have and technically resolve it. Give it a shot, thats purely...

RAM technially should be fine, as I failed to mention before, the RAM worked perfectly before HSF change so that shouldnt be a problem, as did everything else. Thanks for the tip though, i'll be sure to do this in future lol. :) Any more? :D

I'm pretty sure I have, I didn't realise there was a wrong way?

I may try that later, contact seems to be good but i'm unsure, so i'll check, paste is on there, but only the stuf that came with the HSF, its a Arctic Freezer Pro 64 job, so all the clips etc seem to be on ok.

The 4 pin connector is most certainly in, although, I actually forgot 1 time and it game the same result, i.e no 4 pin = my problem, with 4 pin = my problem, if that makes sense lol.

Hi all, I need your expertise, after upgrading my RAM in my computer I then decided to upgrade my HSF too. After fitting, it now does not boot. No video and no POST beeps, the only thing I can see is the DVD drives spin, the floppy kicks in and the hard drive twitches, all fans are spinning...

Everything can be changed apart from the name, I believe changing the name (i.e giving the account to someone else) is against thier T&C's. Whatever you can't change on the site, ring them and ask them, they're normally quite helpful. On a side not, as long as you cancel the subscription...

So would that particualr Core2Duo be better performance wise compare to the Pentium D? Even though the processor has higher Mhz? And I only said 450w because it's a generic one and rather poo tbh. I'll get a new one me thinks but not just yet.

I need to upgrade my system, I was gonna start fresh but realised my budget isn't quite as good as I forst thought :rolleyes: i've tried overclocking but turns out my current system isn't really up to do so, so I have 2 options, baring in mind I have a limited budget. I can either by a part for...

I'm going more and more towards the Lian Li's, and after a few thoughts I may go for the 2000, although big it could probably accomodate a small home inside, which would be ideal. Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep em coming! Payday tomorrow so it's gonna be bought!

Nice, are those wheels removable? Also what the round bit in the middle of the drive bays about?

Buying all the kit then fitting it all only to find some things dont fit properly or certain things need to be done to allow them to, i.e PC-7 and mobo/GTX could have potential problems.

Just checked out the v2000, seems to be a bit of an overkill in terms of size etc, however just found one of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-071-AN&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=160 Seems like a pretty solid case to me? I do like the Lian Li's but they're...

Cheers Paul, are the Dragon type cases still about anybody know? I really liked them way back when lol.
