Very happy with the way this card performs. This is the ideal card for anything 1080p, and even some 1440 depending on the game. Love the account 2.0 cooler EVGA puts on their cards! Really silent but able to keep this beast nice and cool.
The only con I'll mention is that mine has coil whine. But it's not that bad since I always wear a headset when I game. And since coil whine isn't dangerous, I'm not going to worry about it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Display, colors, resolution, plenty of connection options
What's not so great: the stand, but see the review.
I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but buying this monitor was my first step into 1080P gaming. Not only is this one of the best monitor I've ever owned, but I plan on buying another one later to have a triple screen setup.
I have no complaints at all with the screen or build quality. the only issue I have with it is the stand. I know ASUS built it to handle everyday use, but this thing like to wobble a bit; like the arm that connects it to the flat, round stand isn't strong enough to support it. even as I type this review I can see the monitor tilting back and forth.
It's not a deal breaker, but something I would watch out for on a future purchase. Other than that little issue, I can't say enough good things about this monitor.
This product has... Attractive design, Easy to setup, HDMI connection
About me... Student, Technology guru/developer, Dual monitors user, Gamer

AM3+ Processor in a AM3 socket?

Can You put a AM3+ processor in a socket for AM3?
It can work, but before you buy anything make sure your motherboard has a bios update to enable am3+ support. If there isn't a bios update available to enable the required support, it will NOT work.

I am adding more memory.

I have an emachine T6412, what kind of memory do I use?
If I remember correctly, the older model eMachines use ddr memory. NOT ddr2, ddr3, or ddr4.

Graphics card upgrade from Intel HD 4600

I purchased a computer with an Intel HD 4600 graphics card built in to it. I am looking to upgrade to a better graphics card however am only looking to spend about $200 to $250 on it. For the most part this computer is used to play World of Warcraft and watch some videos. Running 2 different monitors at the same time.

Thank you for your help!
The integrated graphics processor isn't a card in your machine, it's integrated directly on the cpu. If you have that kind of budget, I would recommend spending about $60-$70 on a name brand power supply with at least 500 watts of power. My personal preferences are EVGA, corsair, and seasonic.

The remaining f money could be spent on an and r9 series card. The 270x is midrange, but still plenty powerful to play anything at 1080p. If you want to spent a little more I would recommend the Nvidia gtx 960.

What power supply should I get?

This is my comp
Intel core i7 920 2.66 the 8M LGA 1366 boxed
Crucial 12th DR PC800 1066mhz (2gb×6)
msi x58 platinum sli atx motherboard
hdo 1tb desktop sata drive
2 geforce 9800gt 512mb pci express (1 dvi/1vga/1hdmi)
OPO 22X SATA DVDRW BLK DUAL LAY
9 in 1 USB Card Reader
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit DSP
CoolerMaster NV334 nVidia Chassis

Please let me know
A good quality 700watt unit should be just fine. But I would also recommend to Google a power supply calculator. The first link that comes up is normally the one I use in a pinch.

what kind of ram goes in an all in one computer made by samsung

do I do this myself?
All in one's normally have a type of ram called so-dimm memory, and it's commonly found in laptops. My advice would be to get your pc's model number and call the manufacturer

Can you put a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470

Video card into a dell lap top I want to down Load A Spintires game and that is the recommended one the minimum is a NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT or equivalent
Not possible since the gtx 470 is a desktop component. There are laptop docking stations that allow the use of desktop grade graphics cards, but sadly they are proprietary to their line of laptops.

So unfortunately, the answer is no.

As long as it has a free pci express slot and an adequate power supply, yes. But my advice would be to get a name brand power supply from a reputable manufacturer (corsair, EVGA, and seasonic just to name a few) with at minimum 500 watts. That way, you'll have more power to upgrade to an even more powerful GPU like a 960 ,or even a 970
