sorry for the n00b talk

lets just say i know enough about computers to get by :P

I have no idea what the power supply is, it was prebuilt but thanks for the suggestions I'm going to check them out!

First time posting on this forum. I was wondering if you guys could give me some ideas of a new graphics card to buy. Right now I am using a NVIDIA GT220 pci-e and I would like to get a new card that is (obviously) better, but for $170 or less. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and my specs are as follows:

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.50GHz

8 GB RAM

700 GB HDD

If more info is needed I can provide. I would like a graphics card with at least 1 HDMIout

If anyone has some suggestions that would be greatly appreciated

doesn't look fun at all... im tired of upcoming games for the wii...

Halo 3

COD: 4

COD: 2

I'll never understand why its "cool" to say Halo: CE....it was a good game but Halo 3 is better by miles...

I decided I would get on CoD4 tonight after not playing it or any XBL stuff for about a week. I had been playing my PS3 online in silence for that week. Anyway so I had my mic muted and also the sound muted. However, after a match was over on CoD4 I decided to turn up the sound in my mic ear piece. Here are some of the lines that I heard:

Some guy: We only lost because WayneJames (guys GT) kept staying back like a baby and didn't do anything

Another guy: Yeah and that other guy too.

WayneJames: Yo man **** you, you're just mad because you stopped sucking my ****. (WTF?)

Some Guy: Hey WayneJames I'm gonna stick my finger up your butt. (WTF?)

By this time I had heard enough and had muted my mic again. After the next match I unmuted to listen in on the morons.

Random Guy: I like big butts and I cannot lie... (trails off as no one responds). The same guy then says "Who likes Cheese its?" *awkward silence* "I love cheese its."

Another Guy: No way man gold fish are WAY better.

3rd Guy: Lol, dats wack, you just watch your kids and make them put gold fish up their butts. (again, WTF?)

During the match I unmuted my mic to communicate with my team for a minute.

Me: Hey there's a guy in that tunnel (on Ambush)

Some guy: **** You Jackie Chann (my gamertag) you ****** asian!

I promptly muted my mic and the headset again.

After the next match I again unmuted my mic and heard this before I left.

Another random guy: Damn dude nice **** (refering to the top guys score)

So, if mics really make online gameplay better why is the most intelligent thing said have something to do with cheese its?

Actually I'm just kidding. I think mics can greatly improve the online factor in a game and make it feel like you are playing against another human instead of just A.I. Unfortunately there are some people who abuse the mic and make everyone listening want to commit suicide. This part was added because the people who actually think I'm dissing the mics on Xbox Live probably won't read much more than the topic title and they DEFINITELY won't read this part because it is over 1 and a half lines.

oh noes! you had a couple bad matches! never gonna use a mic again. y dont you blog it if you aren't dissing on teh 360

thats great, but as someone has probably already said, go blog it.

Found some good MP 3 images, the game is gorgeous:

trying my best not to be mean, those screens dont impress me at all. with all the beautiful games out on 360 and PS3, even this is not appealing to me
