Hey guys recently got a pre built rig that tends to run a little louder than I'd like it to. Is the fan the issue? Does the PSU have anything to do with it? Or maybe it's just my graphics card running loud? ( I have a 4670 1GB DDR3)If it is the fan what should I look for when purchasing a better one? Also I'd like to know of any good programs used to monitor graphics card temp and CPU temp. Thanks in advance guys I'm kinda of new to the whole PC gaming arena.

I just switched to PC gaming as well and let me tell ya It gets pretty intense when you're trying to remember where your fingers are placed on the keyboard while you're trying to take out all the enemies on screen. In Mass Effect the space bar is my "ok let me breathe and look down at my k. board" button lol.

Hey guys quick question. How do you guys think the 9500gt will handle a lot of the source games ala L4D TF2 Half Life etc.... I'm looking at the card mostly because those are pretty much the only games that matter to me. Specs wise im running 2.8ghz Phenom II x4 with 8GB ram on windows 7 home premium.

Looking into setting up a HTPC with all my movies, also consider I want to run HULU, Netflix, also I love watching Apple Trailers at 1080P. Just wondering if this should be enough or maybe just get a few suggestions on what you guys here on the board would do(besides building your own lol)

I was considering purchasing this one below. What do you guys think?

From what I've seen yeah U2 is gonna crush MGS4. Don't know how Kojima can go from such a great trilogy to making whatever the hell MGS4.

Okami!

I wish they would make more 2D game i love them to death.

Hmmm I hope so i was just thinking the same thing a few days ago. The SSX series was a strong series, no one game entry in the series was bad! I would check EA BIG's website since i believe theya re the ones handling the series.
