Questions :
The fans that come with the case, are they silent enough or would I be better off looking into replacing them with other fans?

Usage :
I will be using this rig for gaming, school work, video editing, photo editing, messing around with 3D software, etc... The games i'll most likely be playing are CS:GO, Skyrim Online, and new upcoming titles.

Future:
I will be adding a second BenQ Monitor and most likely will be adding more RAM.
I will be adding the Avermedia C985 just for fun.
I'm not sure where I stand on adding another Video Card, we shall see.
Feel free to critique this rig with a keen eye.

Thanks,

my new gpu Galaxy GeForce GTX 680 GC 4 GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0(Thanks for the recommendation Aslan)

my problem is that when I want to install my video card, the first pci slot is too close to the fan, for now remove my fan and install the video card, I'm working with original intel fan.

works great with this update, skyrim, BioShock Infinite working ultra settings :D, my question is:
buy a new fan smallest or connect the video card in slot number two? Any difference in performance?

note: I do not want liquid cooling. ]]> PC Builds and Upgrades HADES http://www.forums.custompcreview.com/f43/expansion-problems-1677/ http://www.forums.custompcreview.com/f56/massive-dpc-latency-spikes-1675/ Tue, 14 May 2013 01:49:47 GMT Hey guys,

I've posted on another board about this issue before, but I didn't know the source of the issue. Now I know it is my wi-fi adapter, more specifically ndis.sys acting up.

I'm getting massive DPC latency spikes, which makes any gaming impossible, and youtube videos near impossible to watch due to audio stuttering. Disabling the device gets rid of the spikes. Here's a picture of the massive spikes:

http://i.imgur.com/4gHu1Cj.png [1]

My card is an Airlink101 AWLH6075, which worked fine for the first few month or so, and then suddenly started giving me these errors. After a few reformats, the same thing happens. The issue doesn't repeat itself until about a month after a clean Win7 install.

I've Googled the issue extensively, and none of the solutions posted worked for me. I should also mention that ethernet is not an option for me, since I am on another floor from the router and don't want to run a cable throughout the house.

My questions are:
Could this be a defect on this specific adapter? Or will all adapters by Airlink101 cause the same defect?

Is there any way to fix this without a new card?

If I need a new card, is there any that you guys recommend?

Thanks for the help. ]]> Computer Help dantesEdge- http://www.forums.custompcreview.com/f56/massive-dpc-latency-spikes-1675/ http://www.forums.custompcreview.com/f56/need-restore-my-pc-back-21-days-1674/ Tue, 14 May 2013 00:02:55 GMT Can some one tell me how to restore my pc back 21 days?

works great and especially not fire when ran for the first time, now I'm looking for a video card with integrated cuda, I use the pc for gaming and video editing, in my first post someone recommended me this card:

Go with a 7970 Ghz Edition for your GPU. GIGABYTE GV-R797TO-3GD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Newegg.com


but I think it does not work because it no has cuda, I have at disposal 500 dollars, maybe someone can recommend a powerful card at that price or cheaper, but powerful. not want to do SLI and CrossFire, my psu is only 650 watts.
