Hi, So im thinking to upgrade my gpuand myprocessor.. I have a GTX295 and a very old Due E8500 3.16 GHz... Im planning to get a GTX500 series and the i7processor, but I'm wondering do I have to get a new Motherboard to fit the i7 or its gonna fit right away? because I have an old motherboard 'nFORCE 680i SLI'. Im also Wondering do i have to get a new power supply to do those upgrades? or my 550 watt is enough?

1) you would need to basically replace everything your board isnt capable of taking core i7's, i5's or i3's

2) get a core i5 2500k or 3570k instead of a core i7 the core i7's actually preform worse in some games (varying on the one you buy and the game, and even when this isnt the case the difference is so small its irrelevant) while being alot cheaper.

3) if your going to get a gtx 500 series card the gtx 560 ti is the minimum i would settle for. as your 295 its still plenty powerful by todays standards.

4) if you can power a gtx 295 likely you can power a gtx single 560ti or better. but if i wuz you and walking down that road i would wait till the gtx 660 launches in a week or two and then go out shopping. it will be a little bit cheaper than if you were to act this very momment.

hope my advice helps :D

Hello everybody...

so, after not touching my xbox for months, yesterday i decided to play some Halo, so i made the new update and i signed in to my gold account and everything was perfect, UNTIL i decided to change my gamertag from "Xx explasivXx" to "vV M The DON Vv", after i changed there was some loading and while it was loading my 360 froze, when i restarted it my profile didnt show my avatar and it said i have 0 achievements and my GT didn't change it was still XxexplasivXx, this is how it looks:

iand when i try to make the "Recover Gamertag" it gives me an error that says "Xbox LIVE signup is currently unavailable, please try again later."

so i dont really know whats going on, but i'm 100% sure that nothing is wrong with my account, i logged in to my account from the xbox site and it logged in, and it seems that it updated my GT, here:

so it seems that the problem is with my Xbox not account, please help guys!
