Time has come, I love electronics and work with 3d tech all day at my work and wanted to get one but they are so big.

So I wanted to to buy thishttp://www.amazon.com/VG236H-23-Inch-Monitor-nVidia-Vision/dp/B003V4AK2K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1299888105&sr=8-1now I can get it for less with my associate discount but wanted your input

I have Windows 7

4g of ddr3 @1666

GTS250 1G

Dual core CPU @ 3.1

I can max every game out at around 30 fps or so, my graphics card is pretty good but I may upgrade my cpu to a quade core.... should I? is it worth it for a new monitor or no?

Hey guys, this is my MB:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130243

This is my CPU:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103844

Old, I know but it plays everything I want on max, recently I tried turning on the OC function on the MB the 2 switches on the board itself that increases the CPU a little bit, brings my 3.1 to a 4.1 however this is very unstable, why is that?

I have windows 7 64b if that helps, 4g of ddr4 ram and a gts 250.

I am a NOOB when it comes to OCing, so maybe I have to do something else? info would be much appreciated.

More than likely. I can totally see OnLive going with MMOs and such... and then you can have MMOs on consoles... sort of.

Because they work on my monitor when I use headphones, it should be the exact same thing with this.

My mom and dad own a MAC... I KNOW I KNOW.

Anyway they always regretted buying one and my mom wants a new PC, I want to surprise them for xmas by bringing over a new PC but not too expensive or complicated. Just enough to easily stream videos, netflix, downloading, itunes, that sort of stuff.

Anyone know any good mouse+kb combo? I already have a monitor for them so I don't need that.

Hey guys, new one for me so I seek your guidance!!!

I have Toshiba 55HT1U and it doesn't have a headphone jack, but it does have a digital audio jack.

I was thinking on buying this http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_05791710000P?prdNo=4&blockNo=4&blockType=L4

but if I can get a really good pair of head phones that can work for 360 and ps3 that can work without a jack that would be very much welcome.
