Mazdaspeed3 is a nice, however, the Mazdaspeed6 is a much nicer option imo. It is AWD, unlike the 3 which is FWD. Speed6 also has more power. You'll almost certainly be able to find a slightly used one for well below your maximum price.
Arguable with more clarity and precision than parrots. These are NOT fake/dubbed. This solidifies my desire to have one:

I can't find the amperage in the spec list, which is kind of odd not to include.
Anyways, I would recommend giving this PSU a shot:

Just my 2 cents. You game at 1920x1200. At that resolution, your performance will be very GPU dependant. You will see a much higher gain if you upgrade your video card over the processor. I have a Q6600 @3.3 and a GTX 470, and I can play all games comfortably at the resolution, with most...
Where are you getting those price figures from? $1200 for an intel setup? Try $400 for an i5-750 that will outperform ANY AMD chip on the market, motherboard, and 4gb of RAM.
Most monitors at that price point are better for gaming than more expensive monitors. Let me explain:
LCD panels are manufactured in a variety of ways. They all produce the same results, but how they do it is key. The cheapest LCD monitors use TN panels, which have the fastest gray to gray...
Well, the LCD panel itself can't "fade" per se, as it emits no light. However, over time the individual pixels may wear out, producing an effect similar to what you see with stuck or dead pixels. It's not very likely though, as I'm sure almost 100% of LCD failure is related to the CCFL or it's...
If you're on a budget, yes. For those that want the best possible performance, AMD has nothing on Intel in the desktop market.
The i5 is an excellent chip with great over-clocking capabilities. Just make sure you plan on having to buy a new motherboard and RAM to go with it.
You didn't look hard enough:

You do know that LCDs lose brightness over time too, right? Arguably faster than CRTs do for some models, but that depends on too many factors to really consider.
The only reason I switched from CRT was size. CRTs have superior color, blacks, refresh rate, and there is no such thing as a native resolution on a CRT. If you can deal with the size and space space they require, more power to you. I would kill for something like this though, 24" and almost...
