Hardware Is this going to be a good system
Why is SLI a consideration when you need a capable board to do so? The only SLI-capable AMD boards (ignoring really old nforce chipsets) are the 990FX series, which aren't what I'd call budget. You want a higher-end Z68/P67 board with Intel if you are considering SLI down the line, but it's not...- Velveteer

Gaming How well will this processor perform
That's because most games are still only dual-threaded. The i3 will be faster running these programs, but many games are starting to use 4 threads, such as Bad Company 2. OP, if you don't want to wait, although the i3 will do, you should at least look into a quad i5, such as the i5-760...- Velveteer

Gaming Computer switches off by itself
Yeah, well they will work fine up until the tjmax is approached and they'll shut off. So my guess is that it's touching, but there's not enough pressure/it's uneven. For a bit of perspective, you should be able to pick up the motherboard from the heatsink (if it was removed from the case. Don't...- Velveteer

Gaming How's this setup?
The Blacks are also noisy. Both in terms of seek and platter spin noise. Speed-wise, the difference between the F3 and Black is negligible, anyway, so go with the quieter F3. Although the Black has a 5 year warranty, being 2 years more. Don't go with dual-cards off the bat. It's...- Velveteer

Gaming Computer brands
Acer and MSI are horrible. HP is hit and miss. Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo, Apple and Asus are good. I don't see what the complains are about Toshiba. The only companies with better build quality are Lenovo and Apple.- Velveteer

Gaming This Graphic card...
Yes, it's very likely that you won't be able to fit in another PSU. Also for gaming, a 440GT or HD5750 is basically a minimum.- Velveteer

Gaming My Rant to Apple Haters
You do have a point there. People that worship the company are far too common. I'm talking about the people that feel the need to have a Steve Jobs poster above their iMac, which is sitting between a Macbook Pro and an iPad. Which they show everyone by taking a photo with their iPhone and...- Velveteer

Gaming How do I overclock my CPU?
It's not the best method of making things quiet. You still have a pump running and several fans on a radiator. The best method of keeping things quiet is usually a big, high-performance air-cooler with quiet fans. OP, I wouldn't be overclocking it just yet. By all means, read up on it and try...- Velveteer

Gaming is my computer good?
I'm going to take a stab at around $2100, depending whether it was purchased or build by whomever gave it to you. Stupid import costs.- Velveteer

New Nintendo 3DS gameplay footage
If you're in a PAL region, then you would have played with 50 fps. NTSC or Cross-region, such as the DS is 60 fps, and 3D requires at least 120fps, hence the smoother frame rate - it's over double of what most people are used to.- Velveteer

Gaming What Laptop Shall I Get?
Someone's bound to complain, but a Macbook really might be handy here. From a media perspective, they're great. Garageband comes free and is a great start for recording music, as well as being able to add guitar effects, etc. iTunes is also right at home and actually runs well on OSX, not that...- Velveteer

Gaming HP battery charger randomly not charges
Yep, the cable's fucked. It might occasionally work, it's going to get worse and become a fire hazard. Just buy a decent quality universal adapter. Cooler Master make some good ones. Otherwise, if you get a legit HP replacement, wrap lots of electrical tape around the wire where it leaves the...- Velveteer

Gaming what processor to choose?
There are no compatibility issues with Quads, they just don't necessarily run older programs on more than one core. 64-bit can be faster some of the Adobe suite, etc, sure. I said it's pointless using 64-bit Windows and 2GB ram, as anything that will make use of the full memory bus is likely to...- Velveteer
