When I watch youtube videos from my keyboard, the quality in sound is 100x better but when I play them in my internet browser they suck.

Logitech +199

Logitech is super lovey. I has surround sound speakers from them.

1. That build list is outdated. I need to get around to redoing them.

2. A 550ti really quite honestly sucks for anything over a $700 build, so you'd definitely upgrade if you had $1500.

3. I can get you an updated parts list if you want?

Yes please.

Alright, I want to build a computer. However, I really don't know what I'm getting. May someone recommend me a custom build that is moderately priced (around $500-$600) and plays games well/decent? I would really appreciate it.

My computer is terrible for games, including Blockland. What is the suggested graphics card (200$ and under) that would allow me to:
>see shadows and shaders on high settings
>put all graphics settings on high or near to it without lag
>put all settings in advanced to high quality and/or on without lagging
>play on a server with more than 15k bricks and not get a choppy screen

All of these things I am experiencing currently. I have to have all my settings on medium in graphics and all my settings in advanced either off or on the highest performance end of the scale (ex: draw distance) so I don't lag (get a choppy screen) in a server with more than 12-15k bricks.

I am really getting annoyed at having to mess with my settings all the time so I can prevent lag. I just want to put my settings on high, turn shaders and shadows on and be able to play a server with a good amount of bricks without lagging.

So what would be the best graphics card I can get (for 200$ or under) that would help me out the most? And does the type of computer affect what kind of graphics card I should get?

And does the type of computer affect what kind of graphics card I should get?

Your motherboard, power supply, and to some extent your cpu will.

Where can I find this information so I can tell you?

AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition go

On average, how much would this cost? And can you give me a link to where I can get this so I know which on I should get?

Isn't a 6800 better than a 7700 for performance or am I making stuff up?

search it on newegg?

Well, I searched it on newegg.com and it comes up with 21 products. So which one should I get?

I've been hearing that the 6850 was good for BF3, but I'm not sure. I want to be able to hit 60-70 fps on highest resolution and medium graphics settings. Prices should be under $150 too...
