Gigabyte GeForce GTS 450 1GB Video Card Review @ PCSTATS
“To simply put it, Killzone 3 is leagues beyond what Killzone 2 offered. The game moves faster, is more fluid, but it also allows you to hang back, sit in cover with your shotgun or sniper rifle. In other words, it provides great balance for all players. I’ve enjoyed trying different tactics, and if you devote yourself to one style, chances are you will be successful. Whether you hated or loved Killzone 2, or if you’ve never played a Killzone title, Killzone 3 will be worth your time. In the beta alone, the controls are vastly improved over every previous iteration of the series, the gamepl ay is much more refined, and the unlockables will keep you busy for a long time to come."...

Patriot G Series PC3-10666 (DDR3-1333) 8GB @ PCSTATS
“NVIDIA’s current lineup of graphics cards has the top performers like the newly released GTX 580 and the GTX 480 that has been out for some time now. These cards will give you top of the line performance, but will put a considerable dent in your wallet. If you are on a budget NVIDIA’s GTS 450 maybe be what you need to get yourself into the DirectX 11 game. This is NVIDIA’s lowest end DirectX 11 card. Today we will be looking at the GV-N450-1GI from Gigabyte which does offer a higher clock speed and better cooler than NVIDIA’s reference GTS 450 card. This card also will not break the bank as it can be found online for around $119. Let’s take a look…"... [THINKCOMPUTERS] via PCSTATS

Silverstone SDP09 2.5" to 3.5" HDD/SSD Bay Adapter @ PCSTATS
if you are like me and often find yourself with a full taskbar, then having more than 4GB of memory is going to be a real asset.

Still, there is no single application that we test with which will show the advantages more than 4GB of memory provides.... [LEGIONHARDWARE] via PCSTATS

EVGA GeForce GTX 570 Superclocked Video Card Review @ PCSTATS
"The SDP09 is a three-sided metal enclosure that accepts a 2.5" SSD/HDD inside and through the means of a small circuit board adapter, adapts both the drive's form factor and connection layout to be 100% compliant with that of a 3.5" drive. This means that SSD drives can now literally be used in place of a 3.5" drive in any case, hot-swap racks, or other hard drive accessories." ... [DREAMWARECOMPUTERS] via PCSTATS

Samsung SF510 Notebook @ PCSTATS
Much like Ferrari and Lamborghini in the automotive world, Lian Li is considered by many to be the flagship computer chassis manufacturer. Although they have been in business since 1983, it wasn't until around 2000 that they began turning heads with their all-aluminum PC-60 series enclosures. This happened to be the first enthusiast case I ever reviewed, and at the time, it was light years ahead of anything else on the market. A decade later, Lian Li is still making great cases but they aren't the only premium enclosure vendor on the block. With stiff competition from the likes of Silverstone, Corsair, NZXT and several others, does Lian Li still have what it takes to remain relevant in the ever-changing PC market? Today we'll be looking at the Lian Li PC-V2120A, a luxury full tower chassis that supports most standard motherboard form factors and also EVGA's exotic HPTX format. In a nutshell, the PC-V2120 sports a tool-less aluminum design supporting up to ten 3.5-inch and two 2.5-inch HDDs, 11 expansion cards and five fans.... [TECHSPOT] via PCSTATS

OCZ DDR3 PC3-17000 ReaperX HPC 8GB Dual Channel Kit @ PCSTATS
Codecs? File types? Oh my! If you have ever tried to watch a video you downloaded from the internet only to find it unable to be played (or maybe just audio but no video), then this is the guide for you! We're going to try to do our best to cover most of the more common file types that are out there, and what they mean to you and your home theater experience. Before we get into the details, let's cover the basics of the terminology. Codec is an acronym for compressing\decompressing. This technology is used to execute an algorithm to compress or decompress video or audio. An example of this is playback of your PVR recordings on your HTPC; when the file plays back your PC is decompressing, or decoding, the MPEG-2 or H.264 video and MPEG-Audio or AC-3 audio contained in the file. ...

AMD Radeon HD 6950 Review @ PCSTATS
"The release of AMD's new line-up of graphics cards has to be one of the most hyped up technological release this year, especially amongst gamers and enthusiasts alike. And there is good reason for this, the HD58XX series proved to be a success right from its release over a year ago. Inevitably, our expectations have grown. Can AMD deliver round of high performance graphics card at competitive prices? Two months ago, we were greeted with AMD's Barts architecture. Naming scheme aside, the HD6850 and HD6870 proved to be excellent mid-range graphics cards, performing nearly on par with the previous flagship HD5870 and yet priced much lower. The release prompted a series of event that cascaded down to benefit consumers the most. On the one hand, we had AMD producing highly efficient, low power GPUs with tremendous overclocking headroom to satisfy enthusiasts and on the other hand we saw NVIDIA responding with reduced pricing on the high end GF100 based GTX470 and mid-range GF104 based GTX460. If that wasn't enough, NVIDIA promptly released more efficient GF110 based GPUs derived from the power hungry GF100 cores in the form of the GTX570 and GTX580. Inherently, the high end market has now become saturated with choice but for the consumers it has translated to cheaper high end solutions."... [VORTEZ] via PCSTATS

ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 AMD 880G mATX Motherboard Review @ PCSTATS
After much anticipation AMD launched their Radeon HD 6900 series earlier this month. Many hoped that the new HD 6970 would go head to head with the GeForce GTX 580, possibly forcing Nvidia to make price cuts. However with a retail price that was undercutting the competition's flagship board, the slower HD 6970 was destined to take on the GTX 570 instead. If you are looking for something a bit more affordable, between the GeForce GTX 470 at $250 and the GeForce GTX 570 at $350 there is a $100 price gap with no real contenders -- at least until AMD launched their new $299 Radeon HD 6950 graphics card. At this price point, the Radeon HD 6950 has no direct competition, but we'll be keeping a close eye on how it compares to the GTX 470 and 570 and whether it makes more sense to scale down or up to get better value. ...

Asus EeeBox PC EB1501P Review @ PCSTATS
“When it comes to building a PC there are many choices when it comes to your components. One of the biggest decisions is what motherboard to get. Many people always have their mind set on a traditional ATX motherboard, but if you want to build a smaller PC that is easy to take with you a mATX board might suit you better. Many mATX boards offer the same features as ATX boards and cost much less. Today we will be like a look at the M4A88TD-M/USB3 from ASUS.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 SE 1GB @ PCSTATS
"HIS has come out fast this time with a pre overclocked card and to be honest, they need to. AMD-only partners like them need to make sure the interest is constantly there for AMD based video cards and they figure the best way to do this is get a pre overclocked model to the market sooner rather than later. Falling into the Turbo series, one we know and love, the HD 6870 Turbo is no doubt going to carry with it a bit of extra power over a stock clocked model. Before we find out how much extra power is on offer, though, and at what clocks itÂ’s being offered at, weÂ’ll first check out the bundle HIS has put together before having a closer look at the card itself." ...

ASRock X58 Extreme6 @ PCSTATS
"Based in White City, Oregon, Smooth Creations sells built-to-order gaming PCs and is known for its high-quality custom paint jobs.

This month we review that system’s big brother; the aptly named “Goliath.” The Goliath contains some of the best hardware available on the market today. Built on an ASUS Rampage III x58 LGA 1366 motherboard, the builder overclocked the Intel i7 980 processor from its stock speed of 3.33GHz all the way up to 4.5GHz. An elaborate liquid cooling scheme comprised of parts from Koolance and Danger Den makes such extreme overclocking possible. A pair of AMD HD 5970 video cards (4 GPUs total) in CrossfireX provides some serious framerates."... [TWEAKTOWN] via PCSTATS
