Hey, I'm looking into buying a headphone to replace my Panasonic RP-HTX7. My budget is around U$100 - 150. My on-board sound is 7.1 Realtek ALC889.

Thing is, I'm buying them in Brazil. My actual budget is U$200, but there'll be some taxes, so it'll basically be similar in cost to a U$100 - U$150 headphone in the US.

I already searched a bit, are the Sennheiser HD 448, 457 and 419 any good?

Any recommendation is appreciated :D

[QUOTE="bacon_is_sweet"] Interesting. Could you explain a little further. I guess I'm not too sure what you mean. What's wrong with the PSU on the current choice?04dcarraher

For example take a 600w psu with two 12v rails each rail has only 19A and can only supply 215w per rail. which means that if you were to hook up all parts to feed off that same 12v rail with a load of 215w+ watts you can run into issues. A single rail based psu with same specs would be able to do 35A and 430w.

I'm looking at possibly getting a tv tuner so i can use the cable my college has. But i have no clue in this area of hardware.

The cable is just basic cable, plug the cable cord from the wall to the tv or what not.

My budject is 70 dollars but i would prefer to spend less. Needs to be pci or usb.

Thanks for any suggestions.

my GF's parents drove 1:30 hours to get me to look at their computer coz they thought they couldnt find drivers............7600gt............3 seconds later i found them on nvidia's page...............

job done.

Is there a noticeable difference in performance between 2000mhz ram vs 1600mhz?i'm currently using 8gb of 1600mhz DDR3 in dual mode and I was wondering if upgrading to 2000mhz would show a noticeable difference? My mobo supports it, but I'm not the most knowledgeable on PC hardware, so I figured I'd ask u guys.godzillavskong

So i got it replaced and I have still not found any drivers..... Its a 9800gt 1 gb 128 bit version with ddr3. I have not yet been able to find any drivers. Any help please? The driver disk is something i dont have. It stil has only xp and vista drivers. Should i install vista?

I installed the 9800gt inside my computer..... then i connected the dvi to the gpu and then boot. Evrything went good until the windows welcome screen. I enter my password and suddenly the monitor's power button blinks as if it is not receiving a signal. I tried booting in safe mode but its not working. The driver dvd which came with it had only xp and vista. So i have now removed the gpu and now i am downloading 32 bit drivers win 7. Now how do i install the drivers without plugging the card in?

I've bought PC's in the past with gaming in mind, but never primarily for it. I know very little about building a PC, but I've been reading up and trying to learn. At first I was going to go overkill and "future proof" my rig, but was told that it would be smarter to just build a solid rig now and upgrade later due to the nature of technological advances being to quick. So with that in mind, this is what I came up with:

• 1TB HD
• 128GB SSD
• 16GB DDR3 RAM
• Cosmos II case
• Corsair Enthusiast Series TX750M PSU
• GTX 670
• i5 2500K
• ASUS P8Z77-V MoBo

I have a few questions about this build though. First of all, my house is quite dusty and gets very hot in the summer so I thought I'd go over the top with the Cosmos II case, though it is quite expensive and huge/heavy. Is this a good option, or can I really get similar results with another case? I'd also prefer to only use the stock case, though the option to modify it with fans in the future when I really have an idea on what I'm doing would be nice.

As for the GPU, is the GTX 670 a good option? I have the option of 2x HD 7850's as a backup if I'm unable to find a GTX 670, but that option is more expensive apparently I'd I'm prefer to buy the GTX 670 and possibly add another one later also. As for the CPU, is the i5 2500K fine, or should I look at the i5 3700K or possibly an i7? As for the MoBo, I have the GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H as a backup if required also.

How will this build handle current games? Do you think it will handle games released in the near future well? Overall, is it a quality gaming rig that should last me awhile with most of the top games? This is the first rig and I don't have the oppurtunity to spend this kind of money much, so I'd like to do the best I can with it.

Thanks.
