Thinking about a new build

I hear ya. I'm of two minds currently, but I'm getting a bit antsy. If I'm always waiting for the latest and greatest I'll never upgrade :-/

Thinking about a new build

I'm probably going big on the GPU. I usually keep my systems for about 5+ years. As far as the storage goes I ganked a 250gb ssd from an old work computer that was being sent to the junk heap. I didn't technically pay for it so I didn't list it. Both ssd are currently filled up, which is why I...

Thinking about a new build

It has been a long time since I built a new computer and wanted to hear some opinions on what I'm planning. 1. The computer will be used for mostly gaming, and possibly some video streaming. 2. I expect my budget to be around $2,000. 3. I'll be ordering my parts from USA. I prefer shopping at...

Looking to refresh my PC

I'll admit I was ensnared by the prospect of a new flashy CPU combo that I didn't really consider anything else. I'll be mulling this over for a bit. Thank you guys for some great feedback!

Looking to refresh my PC

For reference I'm currently rocking out a i5-2500k CPU, Asus deluxe pro-v/gen 3 MOBO, with 8 gigs ram. I do not, as of this time, have an aftermarket cooler. My concern is for how much longer the 2500k will remain relevant. It is a few years old now, and I know that it's definitely fine in...

Looking to refresh my PC

It's about time to build a new one. I'm looking for what is recommended in terms of quality components, and if they turn out to be a bit more pricey then so be it. Let's get this started: 1. Gaming PC primarily, and otherwise I desire to feed my need for multitasking. I'm often guilty of...

What are my best options for home network?

Thanks for the feed back guys! I did some thinking last night and decided to take a risk on a powerline solution for a few reasons. Two of those reasons being that its not possible to move the router, and that my only PCI-e slot is blocked by my GPU. That said, so far so good regarding the...

What are my best options for home network?

Okay, here is the situation: My wifi wireless N router is down one floor and on the opposite side of the house. For some reason my wireless card seems to have a very unstable connection. For example, when I try to play some games online or Skype I'll frequently have my connection dropped just...

Building for a friend

My friend is looking to build himself a new computer, but doesn't know where to start. So I thought I might get some ideas from the community here. 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Gaming mostly. Rust and dayZ 2. What YOUR budget is. A...

Black Hooters Waitress Says Hair highlights got me fired

Even if it was racial discrimination they can't prove it unless the persons being accused directly admit to it, as those accused will most likely point to State hire/fire laws to protect themselves in either case. For example, in PA the State has a hire/fire at will, meaning that if I am a...

Why I think Obamacare will drive down healthcare costs.

Regarding fuzzybabybunny's argument, there is the assumption that all hospitals operate for and obtain profit. This is simply not true. I would not go as far as to say that this debunks everything else mentioned, but that I only mention it as a point for consideration. I can say that through...

Question Regarding Updates

I know this is kind of a dumb question, however I feel the need to ask just to be sure. I'm looking going through the updates for my motherboard, and under each option (bios, chipset, etc.) there are multiple files that can be downloaded. Do I need all of these downloads or just the most...

Dark Souls

This game is a must have. A true RPG. As previously mentioned, you will be lost at times, but the journey is well worth it. For $10 this game is a steal! I personally have put in countless hours into multiple characters and play through. Edit* One thing about this game that is worth noting is...

Possible to be good without playing 1000 hours?

I've got some tips for BF3 :) to possibly make it more fun! 1. Actually play with your squad! Most people just run around and do what ever they want, but actually spawning on your team mates and supporting them in what ever way you can is a big xp booster. Your squad may not always want to...
