My favorite FPS? For sure BF Vietnam. Oh boy, the days that I used to play in LAN with a bunch of friends. It was so fun to make traps, strategies and suicide attacks.

I find it funny that I never liked Dota, but Im currently in love with League of Legends. How peculiar.

Hah! Odd to think that these CPUs clock faster at stock than Agena ever did on extreme overclocks.

Try to stress it using DX11 games that use tesselation, so that it can stress all the units inside the GPU.

That is most probably the average system power consumption, that means that system is pulling 382W off the wall (that is including the PSU inefficiency). A 850W PSU is (or should) be able to provide to your system at least 850W, that also means it will pull 850/efficiency from your wall.

This is nothing short of amazing. The "shots" at the window was a really good idea. Now you can hide in the florests and play BF3 still for the rest of your life!

If you don't overclock, you could probably run it on a 450W power supply, although I wouldn't go below 550W, just to play safe.

Look for the LG IPS236V. It is not the best, of course, but it is pretty cheap (at least it is in my country)

Are you having any trouble with the games you play? If not, don't upgrade. If yes, see if a overclock smooths the problem, if it does, it means your CPU is not enough, meaning you have an excuse for an upgrade , if it doesn't, your problem is elsewhere.

Unless you are cross firing them, get the standard.

If I were you, I would wait the HD 7000 series. They are rumored to be pretty close and will be made with the 28nm process, that will probably allow (unless it is severely flawed) a much bigger performance increase than the HD 6000 series was.

No announcement today? What is the next "leaked" date?

SSDs are supposed to endure much more, since they have no moving times and work with less heat. Since new SSDs are coming with TRIM and really low write-amplificantion (ratio between what is supposed to be written to the SSD and what was actually wrote) (Sand Force have it below 1, since it has some compression mechanisms), they should last for almost 10 years, depending from your usage. Intel, for example, warrants worst case scenario 5 years of 20GB/day usage.

I would keep the Intel. It is bigger and more reliable. The difference between any given SSD is thousands of times smaller than the gap between and SSD and an HDD.

Doesn't it cost the same as a 120GB drive? Isn't it possible to increases one drive's over-provisioning with software? We could just set the overprovisioning to 60GB and have a twice as big cache drive, at the same price point.
