Upgrading pc, seeking advice.

I only have mod rights on the recruitment areas. You just gotta hit the edit button, cut our the part you typed, then paste it after the /quote.

 

To get the badges, you have to apply to be a part of NNG itself. And I was being a smartass the other day but I would love to do some testing for you guys.

i would rather suggest this motherboard, this unlike the other has a few features that you wont find... this one has built in KILLER Networking... plus more added toys designed for us as gamers, also.. its less expensive

also the z77 MPOWER has limited range on memory Mhz the gd65 gaming does not and caps at the current top rate of 3000 Mhz catch me now..

 

That is a good board. The mpower board is also for gaming but is also aimed towards overclockers as well giving them more control over their entire system and allowing them to manipulate it as they please. For a gamer who likes to tweak things to get the most frames possible, it is a great choice.

 

you may wish to read up on the Z87 - GD65 Gaming from MSI

believe me... on tis i wouldnt steer you wrong

once your done reading and drooling.. think about it...

 

Yes, that's a solid board. I've built quite a few of these.

 

I presonally prefer the mpower over the gaming board. The ability to have full control over my clocks intstead of partial control with the rest done automatically for me is something I love. The "lag killer" will only do so much and it is only on your rig, not your entire internet connection with your family so it doesn't strike me as something useful.

 

I only use it because it is easier to put a list of parts together than other sites like amazon. I never tell anyone to use it to buy their items when I give a list, I just give a list alone and let them go to their favorite place to purchase the products.

 

<.< What can you do about a BenQ monitor I've been looking to get one and haven't had the funds.

Also, welcome to NNG

 

Oh dear. You mentioned benq to him.... They have a deal with benq and you're gonna be liking it
