What FPS you all play the most? Contemplating if BF3 makes sense to get still (btw Origin site in Espanol is annoying) or if to get CoD.

BF3 real bad and it cheaper right now as well, check it out.

It have a guy local who does deal with high end stuff, saw some nzxt and coolermaster cases in his pricelists.

Go dig up in meh email for one and send u the prices/models.

I used to bring in my cases thru Raptor via sea shipping, saved a good few hundred.

Was only full towers though to make it worth the effort.

Sometimes Wizz stocks the HAF-X but is the nvidia edition which green all over.

Never saw nzxt in any other store.

You really need one that badly???
Onboard Sound Chipsets are pretty good imo...don't really see the need for Sound Cards these days.

I know Creative makes some good stuff when it comes to Sound Cards though

Once you're sure that you Onboard isn't working you can install one once you've got the available PCI-e slot on your board. Check to be certain

which you all prefer, the glossy or matte LED screen? Does the glossy have a better picture, but still trade off on reflecting glare?

^ $27.41 on amazon for the 2 pack. It came in with a box of other stuff so it hard to say what the landed cost for the fans alone would be

alright so i decided to go to water cooling on this new machine,
i'm about to order the corsair h80i as the h50 i had on my old pc worked very well and reliably. unless one of you guys think i can build a custom loop for less than $86.
