Differences Between 7600 and 8600 Any idea?And is it worth the money to go for the 9600?

The 8600 has a dual core processor (the 7600 has a single core). The 9600 has adds local dimming with nano pixel tech. If I could afford another TV right now, I would purchase a 9600 TODAY! It isn't perfect (wait for the OLED) but it is one of the pinnacles of LCD/LED tech and a joy to behold! LG keeps getting better and better! (I currently own the 6200, 7600 and THE NEW LG Google TV 55G2!! Even the 6200 can be calibrated into near greatness IF you watch in a slightly darkened room) Cheers Marty G

I'm also looking forward to 9600. I think it's so far the best Led TV that is "affordable". OLED is at least a year or two from now.How is the smart TV? Do I need dual cores? I have an Apple TV and I just use it to watch Netflix. I don't think I'll use LG's smart TV any more than Netflix, either.

I would have to agree with Matt. One more thing to consider-don't mix! In other words, don't mix say, your pc2 6400 with a 5300 in the other DIMM slot. When I first got into parts changing I made that mistake. Good learning experience on the way to learning to actually build a rig but not one I would wish upon someone else. BTW-Komputerbay is an awesome company to work with!

I actually had a GT 9500 Nvidia and a 460GTX graphic cards. I can't even compare the GTX 760 to any of my previous cards except for the 460GTX, but with certain games. The 560ti is good, but for a couple more dollars and quality, i would go with something in the 700 series or higher. If you're into 3D rendering programs like Maya, Lightwave, 3D Maz and do not have a workstation computer, i would go with this card.

I believe overall performance will be higher with two 780s but one Titan is about 1100. Two 780s is close to 1400.I don't think the performance would be too noticeable for the price difference.

I honestly am not all that interested in Smart TV as much as I am in getting the best picture quality for my own media collection. I will say that my 7600 chugs under the weight of the apps and that the 8600 with dual core would work much better. I also have a G2 which is very snappy due to having a dual core but has a lower refresh rate and no local dimming or control over tru motion. Personally I would buy the 9600 if it had NO apps at all and just did 3D and 1080p 2D. I have tried Netflix with many devices and have never been very impressed with the stream they give you. Vudu however has a much better codec and looks reasonably well, in many cases even better than my Fios HD DVR service gives me. I am hoping within the next 2 to 3 years OLED will be down in my upper price range. When that happens I will jump on it and also they will have ironed out any bugs that system may have for early adopters. What I am hoping is OLED will be as good or better than my Sony 34 inch HD CRT , only with higher resolution and perfect geometry. For motion, contrast levels and viewing angle, nothing STILL can beat the last Sony Trinitrons that rolled off the line. I have one and my only complaint is poor geometry. Good luck with whichever model you decide on. Cheers! Marty G

No it's not, all these computers are pretty custom for each of the components for each model. But you don't need it the 860 runs ultra settings at 1080p beautifully on the oled display battlefield 4 = lots of fun

I just downloaded the demo and cranked up all of the settings (@2560x1600) with my GTX 780... I was getting about 200 FPS in the flight sim part. In other words, this card is about 3x more powerful than you really need--anything over 60 frames per second is wasted on most monitors. You could spend only $150-200 and get something that's more than enough for flight sims. The GTX 760 is reasonably priced, as are the older versions of the Radeon cards (ex. 7950 Boost).

9600 is new model. I don't think there is much difference. You would have to go through every spec to see if there is any. I would start with the pioneer website. I love my 9500 I wouldn't change anything about it. If the price is close obviously go with the new one.

Yes, the boost and base clock is superior. Cores are the same; so you would have, really, a little advantage. It has a cooling fan that help keep the temp a tad bit down. If you are getting this for video games, you will great results for last gen titles, but not so much for current games. Games like Skyrim or Battlfeild 3 or CODBO 2 will get great results, hence the reason I bought this. Battlefield 4 doesn't run as smooth as people would like. The GPU RAM (along with the other specs) makes it kinda tough running any settings on high or above. This disappointed me. My plans are to get another GTX 660 and SLI. This is not the best choice if you want to run current gen games on max settings. I would recommend buying two of these, or a GTX 770. If price is a problem, then the GTX 760 is basically a 660 for current gen, by that I mean it runs today's titles with acceptable performance. I hope this helps.

Get the SC edition and you'll find yourself in between the 670 and 680. Or you could wait for that fabled 760 ti that a lot of pc networks are waiting for.

I believe the 650 is 12bit color processing and the 750 is 16bit color processing as well. Lately the 750 is CHEAPER than the 650 currently on here by about $25, but when I got my 750 at hhgregg last week it was $300 cheaper than the 650 O_o

I will go for this one!! I really love it!! If you get the 780 you can get 10-12 more fps, is really up to you. You can take advantage that 780 are at low price.

Get whatever's validated by Asus to use on the board. If you can afford 2400 and don't mind the marginal performance difference over 1600 (do you really need 2400?), then get 2400. I'm just fine with 1600 until I upgrade my system to a new socket and ddr4.

TM said "The MX860 only has 2400 x 4800 dpi and the MX850 has 4800 x 9600 dpi"If you do get the MX850, try scanning at full resolution and report the result. In my experience a scan attempt at 4800 dpi will make an average systems crawl. That's a huge image, requires a good amount of ram, the swap will be terrible otherwise and is very slow. I can't imagine what a 9600 dpi scan will do.I would worry more about the scan quality rather than DPI, focusing on details and color reproduction. Unless you're a graphic/multimedia design I can't possibly see a use for a 9600dpi, but that's just my 5 cents.

The Answer is No. If you are on a budget I would recommend saving a little more for the AMD Athlon. Much better performance on it. I am currently running a GTX 760 with the Sempron 3850 and it is an enormous bottleneck. Even minecraft won't run on 1080p with moderate graphics.

No it is not worth it, I have a 7950 OC, and I will wait for 2 more generations to come out before even considering it...only difference is the Memory speeds...nothing more...the core GPU is bit faster...not worth the money.

The 983H is not worth it on that set. You'd be getting 980H performance if you used it with component.The 980H is the appropriate unit for you.
