GTX 670 and the Alienware X51

Pros: So after buying the Alienware X51 (i7-2600k and GTX 555, 330 watt powersupply model), I was happy. But after awhile, I started to notice that when sitting 3 feet away from a 52 inch screen that Anti;aliasing was needed in most games to not feel like I was playing a playstation 1 (from jagginess). The GTX 555 simply isn't fast enough to run most of the recent games with 4-8xAA. Thus I upgraded. My search came to a halt with the introduction of the GTX 670. Wow, 95% the power of a 680, with the TDP of a 560ti? I had to give it a shot. And it went really really well. Here are a few reasons why: 1. GTX 670 works with the Alienware X51 2. No case mods 3. Incredibly powerful GPU 4. No crashes or BSODs 5. More than twice as fast as the GTX 555 6. AA in pretty much every game, no problems

Cons: The bad. Only the heat and the fan sound are noticeable. The heat was easily solved with MSI Afterburner software to increase the fan speed to 80% (full speed) when the processor reaches 70C. This prevents the processors from going over 80C. BF3 = 75C after 7 hours of intense multiplayer large map conquest on full ultra at 1080P. 83C was reached with Furmark. The only game I've played that got remotely close to 80C was Crysis 2 with DX11 pack and Tesselation at 1080P, and even then 78C. The other con, the fan sound, is ONLY an issue during intense gameplay. Usually during which time, I'm wearing headphones or have the soundsystem turned up, in which case I can't hear the fan. During non-graphics and low level games the fan is hard to hear at all.

Overall Review: Final thoughts: This is a fantastic upgrade for my X51, really making it the entertainment system PC that I was looking for with full AA on everything. Skyrim looks amazing, Batmam Arkam City amazing, BF3 super amazing and smooth as silk at ultra 1080P, and every other game just screams. I even went back to Crysis 1 to play maxed out on every option and it doesn't even get the GPU up to full speed to run maxed out. Warnings: You need to increase the stock fan speed on the GPU with MSI Afterburner OR EVGA Pricision X or other software of this sort. Otherwise I cannot recommend this upgrade to those who can afford it enough.

Oled, and its lasted the test of time

Pros: I've had this monitor for over a year, and its still as epic as it was when I got it. 120fps over displayport cable. 4k HDR GSync works flawlessly.

Cons: HDR and GSYNC have their issues, but they both work in games, on the desktop, the monitor will keep trying to switch HDR on and off, and this causes the monitor to blink black for a few seconds. This is only in windows, not in games. The more white you have showing the more dulled the white is. But this is to prevent the monitor from burning itself up. Because when its a dark scene in a game with small lights sources this monitor truly shines.

Overall Review: Its like looking through a window into the game.

Pros: Computer Headquarters, Inc made a great computer. Quality work from this company, computer is well built.

Cons: It was still expensive, but at a price you couldn't pass up. RTX4090 needs special settings to keep system stable.

Overall Review: I would buy another computer from Computer Headquarters, Inc.

Great mouse

EVGA TORQ X10 Carbon 901-X1-1102-KR Black 9 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse

Pros: Excellent mouse, high quality all around, extremely responsive and highly customizable.

Cons: None really

Overall Review: Upgraded from the Steelseries Sensei. Big time Battlefield guy, but play a whole variety of games other than FPS. Also use this mouse with Office in a lower sensitivity as it has a rocker sensitivity adjustment button on the top. And have weighted mine down as heavy as it will go. The feet pads are great and replaceable. Basically, I really like this mouse.

Adorama did better than ok. Item came in just right.

I would have packed this item better, but Intel made the boxes for these SSDs like double tough. Adorama had the ssd packed in a type of foam envelope, that was of a good density for shipping. It comes frumpled up due to the size of the ssd, but Adorama seems to know what it is doing because the items outside box was perfect, and the inside box was mint. Item was exactly as described, and its intel so its guaranteed.
