Step #2:
Visit your local memoryexpress retail store and provide proof of the lower advertised price.

or Visit memoryexpress.com and order online... In the order comments field enter the website URL and price for the desired price beat then place your order.

I was just there a week ago. Didn't notice a banner. Or I wasn't really paying attention. lol.
25% of the difference.

example on a video card

ncix $500
memory express $520

then 25% of the difference is like $5. which will be $495.

correct me if i am wrong.

EDIT - yup, i was correct.

Uber Price Beat Guarantee in Canada at Memory Express

!MiKrofT or anyone wasn't confused how the 25% of the difference works.
Only whether it was 25% of the difference or 5% off the competitors price.
I can confirm that both works in-store.

eg...flash drives and 2 of my iphone 4's bricked ......
now my tablet and dslr wont connect to any PC or mac, but thankfully both still work

Ive done the bios updates, nothing would fix the problem, returned it to ncix and
got new p8p67 board, everything works fine except now but the usb 2.0 ports dont work (case AND rear ports), only the usb 3.0 works. I'm sick to my stomach, im tired of running back and forth to ncix for exchanges. And they wouldn't honour the damages the previous board caused either.....

FML
stay away from this board
I've been staying away from the Asus boards recently... they haven't been the greatest in terms of reliability. NCIX has meh RMA, too, which is why I've switched to mainly buying @ ME now.

The Corsair A-series is pretty good... I would switch out the fans though as they aren't the quietest.

probably will go with this Noctua cooler:

NCIX.com - Buy Noctua NH-D14 LGA1155/1156/1366/AM3 I7/I5/PHENOM Heatpipe Cooler W/ NF-P14 140MM & NF-P12 120MM Fan - Noctua - NH-D14 - in Canada

reviews and OCN say people running 2600k at 4.5GHZ 36 deg at idle, at first i was kinda turned off by the noctua colors but now i want to replace all my fans with em lol

Yeah that's a good fan. Try looking at the Corsair H100 liquid cooler. I am getting 32C-35C idle on i5 2500k 4.5Ghz @ 1.33V

Not really on topic but what brands are good for monitors? Needs to be around 21". may be used for casual gaming.
I was looking between these 3:

NCIX.com - Buy Samsung E2220X 21.5IN LCD Monitor 1920X1080 Full HD 5ms 70000:1DCR VGA DVI - Black - Samsung - LS22CLZSFV/ZA - in Canada

BenQ G2222HDH 21.5in Widescreen LCD w/ HDMI at Memory Express Computers

NCIX.com - Buy BenQ G2222HDL 21.5IN Widescreen LED LCD Monitor 1920X1080 5ms 5M:1 DVI-D VGA Black - BenQ - G2222HDL - in Canada

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

That's what I did. LOL. I have 4 noctua fans in my case. I even replaced the fan on my Zalman CPU cooler with one.

I hear Scythe makes good fans too.. Dunno if they're better/worse/same.

I've seen NCIX sell the 920 for $60 once during the summer, lol.

But if you're spening close to 100 on CPU cooling, my personal take is that you might as well make the jump to a real WC loop. An XSPC Rasa RS120 kit costs $120, and its better in every way over a psuedo water cooler, just a bit priceier.

I liked the magazine more (on the originals & z68 model)

Also, rumor has it Ivy bridge might be available in Q4. I doubt it though, it might be a paper launch instead, with availability in the next year. Either way, I'm very excited even though I'm not upgrading my 2500K in a long time.

LOL I bought the stupid sniper ram.....

Was the cheapest decent looking all black ram. The Corsair blues were same price, black costed more so opted with the stupid sniper. Performance is good, just hate the gun shape.

I dunno if I like that gigabyte mobo with the gun..... not my taste. To each their own. LOL

Okay guys, need some help. I know pretty much nothing about computers...

I currently have a crappy HP e9220y which only came with a 512mb ATI Radeon 4350 video card. I want to upgrade to a cheap 1 gb video card that will at least allow me to run Battlefield 3, but it only has a crappy 300w power supply. Can you guys recommend a cheap video card upgrade ($100 or less) that my power supply can handle so I can play battlefield 3? How do I know which video card fits my computer? Thank you!!!!!

here are my crappy computer specs: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...ctID=c01859815

edit: would this work? http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=61...r&promoid=1208

Get a console. That computer has no hope of running BF3. You'll need to build a whole new computer, not just upgrade that one.
