Changing a light globe in the dark and forgot to turn the light switch off, ended up sticking my finger in the light socket. That felt awesome.Filipino_Rambo

Yeah I've got the DX11 update, I feel like my system is underperforming but I'm not fully sure. That's what's tempting me to get a 570, a 580 is a little out of my price range. My Cpu is a q6600 currently at 3.2ghz, I have the FSB at 400 but the multiplier only set to 8, if I go any further than this or change the multiplier to 9 my overclock is unstable.

Ok just played some single player, on HIGH I averaged at 55fps and on ULTRA it stuck around 25fps. This was only on 1680x1050 resolution

Currently I have an ATI 5850 but I was thinking about getting a GTX 570 in preparation for Battlefield 3.I think I could sell my 5850 for around £80 and buy a 570 for around £250. Therefore I would be spending around £170, worth it?

Currently I have a 19" LCD monitor for my PC displaying at 1680 x 1050 and my xbox TV is a 720p 20". So I'd like to be able to game on my xbox and use my pc in full 1080p around the 23" mark.

The Dell and BenQ monitors you guys suggested don't have HDMI ports which I require for my xbox and the Eizo one seems a little out of my price range, I think I could stretch to £250 though.

I was looking at this one earlier but I'm not sure if I would even be able to connect my speakers for both PC and Xbox use.

Hi, I'm looking for a TV or Monitor to use with my PC and Xbox 360, currently I'm usingone screen for each but feel it would be more convenient for me and save space if I just merged them onto one screen. My Xbox 360 is connected by HDMI to my TV and my PC is currently connected by DVI (I think). So i need some help in choosing a new TV or monitor in order to display both devices, so they bothproduce good quality picturemainly while gaming.

I have seen a few monitors but they dont come with speakers. On my PC currently I have a 2.1 speaker system which connects to the back of my PC byone green ended cable (I can't remember what it's called). So I would prefer to use my 2.1 speakers for both PC and Xbox 360 if that'd a good idea?

My budget is around £200 and I live in the UK, so links or recommendations from UK sites would be appreciated.

I'm not sure whether i want a TV or a monitor, I've heard Monitors give out better resolution but I'm really not sure whats best.

Thanks

Hey im wanting a new printer.

It needs to be wireless

I need it for printing just general college work and so am not fussed about any fancy features to do with photos

My budget is around £100

What can you recommend? Any particular brands? Cheap ink is also preferable.

Thanks
