a desktop like this would be much powerfull (as laptop GPU and CPU are power optimised, not performance optimised) If i compare directly the Passmark scores of the 4700MQ, it's scoring 7933 while a 4670k scores 7532 and a 4770k 10122 so the comparable 4670k is only 220$ The GTX750 scores only...

it's actually one really high end setup, you wouldn't have something better, only equivalent so if it's the setup that you like buy it !! Make sure the grab the HD598 in rebate as i seen them at 380$ on NCIX and on amazon they're 240$...

since they have a 119DB SNR (aka SPL/MV), if you want the best, you need to match this SNR as if you go higher, the monitors will be the cheap components and if you go lower with the sound card, the sound card will be the limiting factor for interferences and quality... in the 120DB+ range and...

You can check the SteelSeries Siberia V2 for about 60 bucks, about the same specs but with 50mm drivers (so deeper bass) However, i'm using these headphones and they require a good sound card to really benefit from them as onboard can't really push enough and at high volume, the sound isn't...

Try FRAPS, it'll show your FPS and can record your gameplay footage (30 sec for the free version but grab the pro if you like the program) unfortunately i can't help you getting the Pro for free as the program is a shareware but you can easily buy it on the FRAPS website: http://www.fraps.com/

i had good experience with ACER (still own a pentium M from 2006 to now, work flawlessly even with dust inside), LENOVO are great too from what i've seen and ASUS make some too and they have the lowest return rate VS all the other, also include a 2 years warranty with 1st years being for...

Glad to have helped you !!!

I got a Creative Labs Fatal1ty gaming headset for 20$ a long time ago, maybe you can find it i don't know if it's discontinued or not but mine still works even with drops, travel, etc... (bought mine in 2005-6) For cheap headset, this is the best i found in that time and even now it's something...

Your IP is determined by your ISP (internet Service Provider) you can either have static (never change) or dynamic IP (change at each connection) you can't change your IP (and still be able to connect to internet) without contacting your ISP...

I use Steelseries Siberia V2 (black and gold edition but they're all identical as of sound) got mine for 60$ in rebate and it's pretty much the better headphone at 60-80$ range for gaming (the 7h version is the same but in closed form so bass is richer and you don't ear much what is close to you...

A good stereo headset is capable of emulating surround 7.1 (and in my opinion sounds better than a real 7.1 headset as the drivers are biggers, produce more bass and anyway you only have 2 ears so the emulation of the soundcard produce a really positional audio, you can hear what is coming from...

Interferences cause weird sound... it can be caused by cheap connections (basically cheap case in general), cell and cordless phones, microwaves and anything that use radio waves (CB, FRS, TV, AM/FM radio, etc...) the only thing that stops that for me was getting a new case with better shielded...

+1 for logitech speakers set, i own the old X-530 for my girlfriend's PC (as she had stereo cheapo speakers before) and i use Logitech Z906 (but they're in the 400$ range so not cheap) and i had not a single bad word about the both, the X-530 model serves me well from about 2002-2003 to now and...
