    personally I would say wait for haswell but if you want a new rig RIGHT NOW...

    case: corsair 300r
    mobo: z77 chipset, something from either asrock/asus/msi
    cpu: i5-3550
    gpu: gtx 660
    hdd: wd10ezex
    ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231426 (fuck longass model numbers)

    adjust the components for lower/higher performance based on what you want, this is just a baseline.

    This seems like as good a place as any to post this. Okay Modacity, I'm having an incredibly frustrating sound issue. Basically whenever a really loud, bass heavy sound like a gunshot plays it comes out sounding really crappy and distorted. I've tried multiple sound cards, onboard audio, played with every windows sound setting I can find and nothing seems to fix the problem. Here's the 2 best audio sources I've found that create the issue, if it helps

    Any of those big bass BOOMs do it.

    I've also tried multiple headsets, speaker systems, etc. It always happens regardless of the hardware used, which makes me think it's somehow a Windows issue.

    What models of sound card did you use?

    I've had issues with on-board sound and Creative, but not with HT Omega cards.

    It could be interference. Or it could be that the slot you are putting it in is causing the issue, if you haven't tried moving the card around. I really don't think it's a Windows issue, it's way too specific.

    Asus Xonar DX and HT Omega eClaro

    I've tried 2 different PCI-E slots with no success and there aren't any wires or anything nearby to them.

    First video:

    Laptop Speaker - Clipping
    PC Sound System - Clipping
    High-End Audio Interface + Headphones - Clipping.

    So if it is just this video then the clipping is normal otherwise your speaker would reproduce the sound wrongly (reducing the clipping even though it is there).
    The guy in the video did this on purpose probably, this is the original song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoXG-4DntUA

    I hear no clipping in the second video though. Make sure you don't boost the sound or change these settings if you are not sure what you are doing. 24bit/48kHz is standard.

    I did get the clipping in some other stuff, like Brutal Doom gameplay and such. If it's just the source file in all cases, there's an awful lot of shitty audio files floating around out there.

    Hey bro's, after the 3rd HDD failure in 3 years (2 of them in a raid set up >_>. >________________> ohgfoahogihaspihlihgoasihsgoihsa (i think i've lost everything)) I'm looking at a good SDD with a standard HDD for the bulk of my system.

    from what i've heard, this is a very good one, at a good price and a really good warranty.
    OCZ 256G Vertex 4 Series SSD
    Internet Price: $217.00

    And i'm not sure what a good HDD is anymore. But i'm not getting another WD.
