Forgot to mention I will not be overclocking. Updated post to try and cut the price slightly.

After about 4 years, my build finally gave up on me. Refuses to start up, motherboard makes loud, grinding, noises. Regardless of whether or not I can simply troubleshoot and fix it, I've decided it needs to go and get caught up with the times. I'm reusing my case, PSU, video card, sound card...

OCZ Technology, I believe it's dependable. Noted. Thanks.

He mentioned a few games that shouldn't need more power than a 4770. If a 550w PSU will work as well, then I can most likely drop that from my list entirely as I have an old 550w PSU sitting around that should function.

Had a friend of mine ask me to build a decent machine for him, would like to oblige. Haven't kept up to date with hardware these days.. CPU : Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops...

Excellent, thank you very much, Trotter. I'll order as soon as I can.

I'm running off XP 32bit, I believe it cannot support all 6BG? I was under the impression 4GB would be fine for nearly anything. My budget is very flexible, but I'd like to keep it under $600. Thanks for clarifying. If I was unclear, I intend to buy off Newegg later, but the browser I'm using...

Greetings. I've been sporting an old build of mine for quite a while, (almost 3 years) and since the graphics card has flopped over and passed on, I decided to tune up a few other pieces. Unfortunately, I've also neglected to touch up with the latest technology and could use recommendations...

I'll see what I can do with a friend and calling in a favor. I'll report back in a little while with an update.

Unfortunately I do not have a secondary graphics card available to me and my motherboard did not come with integrated graphics. Is there any other way I can confirm it? I feel as though I'm blindly reaching out for any solution. Meanwhile I will try to ensure that my CPU and graphics card...

Gentlemen (and ladies). After several years of hard work, it seems my system has kicked the bucket and decided to stop working properly. I had been putting a lot of pressure on both my CPU and graphics card to function to their maximum, and yes, it was my fault that whatever happened...

Apparently when attempting to uninstall a game of mine, a huge file (1.6GB) somehow became "Corrupted and or unreadable", now I cannot delete it to hence, finish the uninstallation. I'm pretty sure it's just being a ***** on purpose since I can copy it, move it, and rename it fine, but I can't...

Hmm, I seem to have fixed it somehow after changing the slot again and reconnecting the respective ends. Thanks anyway.

Reposting because the other forum seems a bit slow and I haven't gotten a response in a long time. I'm using the SB X-FI Platinum sound card, with the included front panel drive. For some reason, all of a sudden, no sound comes out of my headphones when its connected directly into the...

Nobody? Well I tried reinstalling my drivers and changing the slots of the card. Nothing.
