depends on the resolution you using, and what you going to do. a $400 card might be enough to run some HD video, but if you going an run game, you might need something more powerful.

If you planning to stream plenty videos, you mightn't have much luck unless you get a VPN.
If is just to visit webpages that blocked, you could use a proxy/proxysite or a program called Tor.

You want to run 3 vga displays on 1 videocard? It might be easier to connect only 2 of the monitors if the card has 2 dvi-d ports, and you have
2 dvi->vga adapters. Not sure how you'll go about with 3 though

I think a 3 way VGA splitter will do it.

A passive display port-vga adapter should work....once the video card has a display port.

Need some Action/RPG suggestions for PC. Really enjoyed Torchlight and Bastion. Anybody?

Humes · Postby **Humes** » July 7th, 2012, 7:48 pm

Diablo 3 is supposed to be king in that genre.

like the above user said, check diablo 3, also the dungeon siege series is also pretty good, you could try the original dragon age, heard it's pretty cheap recently for the complete edition.

Les Bain · Postby **Les Bain** » July 8th, 2012, 7:08 pm

Thanks plenty dey for those suggestions. Mostly racing games in my collection so this Bastion weekend was a welcome break.

can watercooling be done with parts found at most hardwares?
Willing to bring down the big stuff like the pump and waterblocks

but I always end up underestimating my projects so I always have to be running back and forth to get parts
but with online shopping I will have to wait weeks

well not in Trinidad,maybe in the u.s.

Take ur time and plan it out,do drawings on how u want ur loop to be and check it over and over again before you buy stuff.Planing is the key not to miss out parts for ur loop.

If ur importing the pump and blocks then basically you can get the rest of stuff locally if u 'run out'.

Rest of stuff meaning tubing and clamps. The fittings you'll definitely have to import since they kinda specific.

But as todd61 said before, plan it out properly.

Oh and buy extra.
