I have a simple question (or it might not be simple) about HDDs.
On a WD Caviar Black, Sata 6 gb/s or any drive, is there any
difference in Performance/Speed, Life and Problems between
Partitioned and unpartitioned? Simply which is better?

Thanks

Steve, i was thinking the same as you...on the other hand the person advised me to get a 650W PSU. How much difference would 30W make? If he said 750 of course it would make sense but 650? GPU, isn't mine already an 6850 Card? Would it make that much of a difference to get an HD? Do you know of any ...

Thanks guys, building a PC is off the table, i will just upgrade and then OC. PSU-few people mention that my current GPU or if i get another i would need over 620... i dont know why and i dont know what to do. GPU-I chosed ASUS based on the one i already have which i never had a problem with but its...

Should i start with purchasing the folowing 2 components then go onto SSDs and Overclocking?: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121623 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226191 Then i can afford one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx...

Thanks Steve, in DAWs i dont do video editing. I use PS and PowerDirector a lot but not extreme. As far as Games go i am not extreme Gamer but it would be nice to have some decent card, if this what i have is not. I curently have an Acer P236H Monitor running at 1920-1080 and will most likely get on...

Then...what would be a step up from this Graphics Card that i have now?

Thanks Steve, i am on Cubase 6.5, i am using TC Electronic Impakt Twin with an SIIG TI IEE1394 Controller. I use Kontakt, Omnisphere and few others who heavilly rely on RAM. How many tracks i use well it deppends, 10-20-30. What if i actually get 4 of these? 4x4: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...

This is what i curently have (thanks to most of You) for the last 2 years: Case: Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower, CPU: Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz, MoBo: ASUS P7P55D-E LX LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0, GFX: ASUS ENGT240 Silent/DI/1GD3 GeForce GT 240 1GB DDR3, RAM: G.SKILL...

Ehehehehe...i always end up like that, first of being scared to do something then i end up doing it every day, lol. Ugh...as curious and eager i am i am still scared...I might give it a try but as someone said, it all comes down to the last second when you have to switch the POWER ON...lol...if noth...

This is IT...and now WHAT? ...LOL: http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/3820/partsf.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us I've never built a complete PC but i exchanged, upgraded HDDs, ODDs, RAM, FANs and stuff, have some clue about but i am affraid now...do i start it on my own or should i just bring it s...

Any reviews on the AzzA Helios? Anyone to say anything about as a Silent PC?
Especially vs Antec Three Hundred...few people are saying Cases dont make Noise.

Thanks

Thanks guys, i appreciate your answers and inputs, most of the system i actually based on Mike's responses. Whats i chosed or said is not the LAW and i will still probably change if it saves me money and dont lose performance. I dont necesarilly have to go Noctua Fans or even Noctua HS if something ...

Hello Dev, i was originally thinking of the NH-D14 but few people told me that i was overkilling it, since that HS is 1333 marked. I dont really have problem with throwing 10 bucks extra for better performance...lets see if someone else says something. What do you think about the whole system in gen...

And i guess this is my final list besides the Case which is still the only issue left to me, i will have to look for some more options: http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/4967/picture1qm.jpg I think that would do for me, moving around too much sux too, it just annoys the hell out of people and also i ...

Thanks guys, i already ordered the WD Green Caviars. Other things are left, i changed few of the things, i might even end up on 860, i dont wanna be future proof since to me dont make sense now building a 1600$ system and then 8 months later buying new 500$ 6 Core CPU. This way i'll build this syste...

Thank you guys, let me clarify, the TX750 was put by mistake there since you can see there is 2 of them...now, the S X750 is around 190$ which is a lot of money and you guys say its overkill...the X650 is like 10$ cheaper...is there anything else that i can get by cheaper? Please? The only thing tha...

I guess this will be the final list -Case and RAM since NEWEGG dont have them:

Thank you sir!...: I dont know, we in the music world sometimes are just funny people and most of the times just stick to something and nothing else exists anymore besides that, like in this case the ASUS Board, the Corsair RAM, the TI Controllers and also staying away anything to do with ATI and VI...

I guess this is the only place i can buy the Fractal Design from:
http://www.ncix.com/

Hello all and Thank YOU all...untill next week untill when i start ordering i KNOW i will be annoying. To me this is not just someone responded and go buy it. Your responds are very valuable to me and as a factor i started changing the list of components based on your responds. I apologize ahead if ...

Someone also sugested Seasonic X-650/750, Semi-passive PSU fanless/noiseless over the TX750.
And also some Scythe PSU over the NOKTUA, anyone any light on this?

This is the final list so far: ASUS ENGT240 Silent/DI/1GD3 GeForce GT 240 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card 104.99 + 7.56 shipping http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121369&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Video+Cards-_-ASUS-_-14121369 Noctua NH-U...

These are the 2 things left: Case and an Optical drive...i want also a little at least good looking case, not completely dumb. Antec?

Thanks you.

Thanks you sir, i was leaning towards that too, i think i will go for that from other sugestions too.

Thanks

I am a Mac guy for the last 12 years but thruought that i had a share of few PC's so i am quiet familiar with them too, mostly OS handy not that much...
