Re: Happiness: 2560x1440 S-IPS for $300

How's the response time? My only concern was people over at hardocp complaining there was enough of a delay to be notable during FPS gaming. Someone claimed it was due to the scaler (which makes sense) but it wasn't resolved whether the OP was running at native or not.

Re: Partial Build - Mobo and Cooler help?

Wow man, thanks so much for the Microcenter information. They've got great deals and there's one about a 15 minute drive away. How's the ASRock Pete? What kind of OC did you get?

Partial Build - Mobo and Cooler help?

Hey all, Well, my old e8400 and HD 4870 system is really starting to show its age in games like BF3 and I've recently started doing a lot more CPU intensive work (rendering and image processing) so it's time for some upgrades. I'm thinking around $400-500(ish). I've got a good 500 watt Antec, and an...
