i loving love my new keyboard


rosewill rk-9000i

seriously, this is loving amazing for $70

Just got a 670 to replace my 250. Drool.

Plus my 250 idled at 45-50c and 670 idles at 30, Que.

Is 10mbps a decent internet to use spread out between 6/7 computers?

Would this case be okay? My friend is looking for a cheap case but will still cool it well.

It has 2 120MM fans, one on the front and one on the back.

CPU: Intel Core i5-3330 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card   

*Note* He's not into overclocking so he'll probably leave everything at the factory clock.

Who gets an i5-3330? An i5-3350P performs better for $10 less


honestly I've tried so many $50-$100 cases for customers at work, and the only one I stick with anymore is the CoolerMaster HAF 212

It has /plenty/ of room for cable management, it's mid ATX, plenty of bays and the airflow is superb

I was running a phenom 965 and a radeon 7790 in it with stock coolers for almost a year and never once had an issue, you can also add I think 4-5 120mm fans in stock drilled holes if the 3 fans it comes with aren't enough.

The HAF 912 is a great buy for $60

forget I meant 912, I got corsair liquid coolers mixed up with cases ;-;

Trying to make a computer for my friend for $800 or less. He wanted to have Intel Processor and a NVIDIA Graphics card so it was a bit hard.

/always/ buy RAM in increments of 4, never 3GB sticks.

that motherboard is shoddy

I'm not too framiliar with Intel/Nvidia setups, so I can't help you with any bottlenecks you might get

You'd probably want a 32-64GB SSD to run, considering you're using a 7200 RPM HDD

/always/ buy RAM in increments of 4, never 3GB sticks. Why? I got a good deal - 2GB more for like a buck, now it's 8GB

that motherboard is shoddy Um, it has good reviews. Nvm I accidentally got the wrong mobo.
