800GB are $2000 each, which is actually really cheap compared to previous drives this class
200GB are $500 each
Will be testing them this week, then I think they'll be going into my system. No more mechanical drives for me!  | |

Probably not something most will be interested, an ATX FM2 board. It's a good one for the price though! MSI's first digital PWM: MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 Review - AMD A85X FM2 Motherboard for Trinity APU | |

Seriously though, get anything that matches your specs and size needs. Look for something with a lifetime warranty

Crucial ain't cheap, you can get a set of G.Skill 1600 for like $65 or Kingston for $70 instead of $80 for these Crucial ones

As long as their RMA process is good, I say go for it!
Find out though.
I just did an RMA with Crucial and it was smooth and quick

Is it just me or does anyone else think warranty's a bit overrated?
Maybe I'm just misunderstanding, cause I never had to return anything before.
But is this the process of RMA? Ship item to manufacturer, wait 3 weeks, get replacement product?
Educate me if I'm wrong. That's just what my hunch was.
Cause if a major component dies out and restricts me from being able to use my PC, there's no way I'm waiting 3 weeks being computer-less.

It depends because some people are just unlucky and get factory faulty products and need to do the RMA instead of losing money.
I know for my old G73SW laptop , i had free warranty for 2 years and if they cant fix it , they would send me a new laptop and at this time it would be bumped up to G75VW.

Hey guys, I got 2x2GB in my system right now, and would like to upgrade to 8GB. Seeing that 8GB can be had for $40. Would it be better to throw my 2x2GB out? or use it with the 2x4GB and have 12GB of ram?
I don't plan to OC, so it doesn't matter to me.

It wouldn't hurt to try with the 2 sets, as long as the voltage and timings are correct. If you can match the brand and series, even better. If you fail to boot, just take out the old ones.

I don't plan to OC, so it doesn't matter to me. | Get the 8GB, put it all in and see if it plays nice. Be sure to use the settings of the slowest ram, and the highest voltage. If you can't get it working, toss the old stuff out

Any suggestions on GPU's? I have the 560ti now. Should I SLI it? Or get a GTX 670? Or maybe a Radeon card?

Single card is always better than SLI. A lot of the time with SLI, you are trading frame response for frame rate. Frame rate is nice, but not as important. Not to mention the extra heat and power consumption
