Just been looking at the Asus Xonar Xense Sound Card + Sennheiser PC 350 Xense Edition Headset, would this be a good bundle to get? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SC-010-AS&groupid=701&catid=11

Good point joeyjojo. I already have an AV amp with hi-fi speakers for my main TV so it would be great if I can connect my machine to that when I want some big screen gaming. An optical S/PDIF will be just fine for that setup. I would use the headphones as my main source of sound though as my...

To start with I will only be using headphones, I may then get some speakers but it won't before at least a year. I will be listening to music/ movies some times but predominantly I will be playing games. My budget is £150-£200 for a sound card and headphones Cheers!

Thanks, will check those out. Saw that you can get surround sound headsets, are these worth looking at?

I am expecting delivery of my new gaming machine in a couple of days, I have spent a considerable amount of cash on it and have realised I have completely neglected thinking about the quality of the sound. Will the motherboard (ASUS Z77 Sabertooth) be ok or is it worth buying a sound card? if...

Thanks for the suggestions, am slowly google searching my way through them! Are there any of the COD ones worth having a play of?

I have ordered my new OC machine today and now need to line up the games I am going to play on it when it arrives next week. The spec is: Intel i3570k 3.4 GHz @ 4.6 GHz 8GB 1600MHz 256GB SSD 670 FTW 2GB SLI The last games I played were COD MW2, BFBC2 and MOH T1, so by my estimate I...

The monitor is a Dell SP2309W. Guess it is an odd res but from what I have read this afternoon most games will run fine. Although this could be a good excuse to get a new monitor too ;)

Is it worth going for an additional GTX 670 in SLI or not worth it for the kind of 1 screen gaming I will be doing?

Thanks very much for the suggestions. One question, is the Nvidia option (like the 670) on par with the Radeon 7950 card?

I used to be a big gamer back in the Half Life 2 Era but haven't really got back into it as whenever I would buy a game like COD (COD 4: MW was the last one I played!) it would be pretty much unplayable on my laptop. So after a few beers last night with a friend, I decided to get back into it...

Any chance you could post the full spec jc0? Cheers!

Which one would you recommend? Would the 7100 / 7300 work with nvidia's purevideo?

Really? I thought playing HD used the CPU and a small percent of the graphics card?

Hi, Will be ordering my first media centre PC tonight and am in need of some advice - here is my proposed spec- ASUS P5V-VM DH Socket 775 Core2Duo ready P4M890 Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Antec Fusion Microsoft OEM Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 SP2B Kingston Value Ram...

What advantages does the purevideo codec give you and how much is it?

So does that mean AVI's will or won't be affected? I have found an x1600 that is HDCP compliant, would this do the job? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-125-SP

Thanks for the reply SoylentCola, For playing HD video and up scaling DVD's, is it best to go for a Dual core CPU or a better video card?

Hi, I am looking to build myself an HTPC based on the Antec Fusion Case, its going to be used as a PVR, DVD player and be capable of playing HD material. From what I have read the Intel Core Duo seems to be the way forward, but am stuck what motherboard/ tuner to go with it. What hardware...

Thanks for the reply, I have been looking at logmein, I take it that when you connect to the other PC you are taking control of it realtime rather than setting up a new session like through RDP?
