it's much more recommended everywhere hence probably why it's more reliable

anyway... could anyone please recommend a good mobo with usb 3 headers for my haf x? i was initially going with the asrock extreme3 gen3 until i realised no usb 3 headers (only at the back) i also heard the extreme 4 has major usb 3 issues

also... 570 + SDD or 580 w/o SDD

if it helps... 8gb ram (2x4gb) with plans to sli + oc eventually

thanks for any help!

The crucial one is slower

Sequential Access - Read
up to 415MB/s

Sequential Access - Write
up to 175MB/s


Force GT

555 MB/s sequential read
515 MB/s sequential write

EDIT: Yep after doing a bit of research I can see that the Force GT has had problems so has the Force 3 series. But apparently a update has "fixed" the problem, but users are advised only to update if they are experiencing problems.

I value reliability over a little speed increase, + also comes with 3 years warranty, always nice to have.

What model number is ur crucial M4 128 GB?

In regards to the monitor...is this good

http://www.mwave.com.au/sku-2714013...ll_HD_LED_Backlight_Widescreen_Monitor_-_1920

I can get it for $195

-ViewSonic’s VX2453mh-LED features an LED backlight 24" (23.6" viewable) ultra-thin widescreen monitor with up to 40% energy savings

-2ms response time

looks pretty good to me. Any one have this screen. Is it a good one? Thanks

My screen is a Samsung P2350 I think got it last yr, good screen, sexy, but had some pixel issues, half the screen died (was like 2 months ago)

Still have to call up Samsung to get it replaced, has 3 yr warranty so I'm not really worried (yet).

yeah something about samsung that I never really liked...It reminds me of some cheap company...

Don't really want a Dell screen, cause then everyone will say oh do you have a dell..I'll be like no I built mine every time. + I don't want to see DELL on my screen -.-

I just read there's no DVI on the Viewsonic :/ is it required?

 

[cheezcake]

Samsung used to be fairly dodgy but they're a pretty well respected company now

 

[iRuler]

Samsung is pretty good now, they offer 3 year pixel perfect warranty so it's all good, plus all their products are awesome now.

Samsung also manufacture for other companies FYI

My old HP LCD monitor 15.1" has lasted 11 years and still going strong with no problems what so ever.

 

[iRuler]

lol 11 year old screens haha

I've have 5 monitors lying around, only the Samsung screwed up, rest work (not that I use them anymore), oldest being 10 years.

yep but this screen has constantly been used from day one. It was one of the first LCD monitors to come out. ahh those were the days where everyone saw you as a God if you had an LCD lol.

Reliability > Speed


and in reality, you will not notice the difference in speed for the two SSDs...

Benq G2420HD is what I got because it's cheap ass... haha

yeah I ordered one. It was nearly out of stock...lucky

DID you know the corsair came with 128 GB but apparently 8 GB is disabled :/


Also I noticed that on the crucial website it said read speeds of up to 500 MB/s

But on the mwave site i only see up to 415 MB/s ?? typo?

I'm fussy with looks. + I don't want to spend 400 on a screen when I can get it for < 200. and does the same thing.

oh okay

why get a $300 cpu when a $100 cpu does the same thing? why get a $300 gpu when an integrated gpu does the same thing?

gosh
