So it looks like just about everything I bought a week and a half ago is on sale this week until tomorrow. Does anyone know if Newegg will credit or refund me, and if so, hwo do I go about getting it?

Email them.

I did. Pretty much told me to fuck off. I guess some people have had luck if it drops in a day or two, but it had been over a week. Whatever. They were cheaper than anywhere else I could order from.

Steam did the same thing to me a few times after epmode said "oh yeah I get refunds from them hurrrrr"

welcome to buying computer shit online

e for content: is there any suggestions on a decent ssd? I gotta help my nephew build a computer, and I might as well get him on the ssd train

So as the title says I'm looking to build a new desktop computer in the near future and I was hoping for some recommendations on parts to get.

Right now I'm looking at building the midrange computer listed on this website:
http://www.build-gaming-computers.co...-computer.html

Though it's a bit over my budget, as I was hoping to keep under 1000 with OS. Any suggestions from anyone, are there any better cheaper parts I should get on that build or should I just bite the bullet and go with it? Also does anyone see any problems with that build?

I don't know if you've already built this, but I wouldn't waste your time buying a 6 core processor with a core clock of 2.6 Ghz. You're better off buying the AMD Phenom XII 975. The 975 has a core clock speed of 3.6 Ghz, and for gaming it would outperform that 1035T. And, you can do a lot better than a 550 Ti.

I'm going to rebuild my computer. Pretty sure I will wait for Ivy Bridge though because I think it's coming in early April. It's not that clear actually. Has anyone seen recent info? If it's over a month away than I am going to get an i5 2500k. Will also need a new MB, SSD, and power supply. Everything else I can reuse. I'm cool with my GTX460 still.

April 29th seems to be when most people are expecting Ivy Bridge to release. It seems new motherboards with the Z77, Z75, H77, and B75 chipsets, are due April 8th. Supposedly there was some leaked stuff pointing to the Ivy Bridge chip itself not hitting till the 29th.

I will tell you the 2500ks are awesome. I have one over clocked to 4.5ghz.

I saw the benchmarks for ivy bridge and they don't look that much better than sandy bridge. It also sounds like they won't be out until the end of April, so I decided to buy now. I got an awesome Microcenter deal on the 2500k + Asrock MB ($179 and $50 respectively). Got a 120GB Samsung 830 SSD too. What wattage power supply do i need for this system with my GTX460?
