Depends, for small purchases I usually save money, but for larger buys, tax is 9.25%, so sometimes it's better for me to buy at NewEgg.

If he's gaming then he is going to want a dedicated GPU. And the FX-8350 has almost double the benchmark score than the A10-7850K. But that makes sense considering it uses less electricity.

I think that's a little dramatic. Any currency fluctuates, crypto is no different. Even if Dodgecoin overtakes Litecoin, why would Litecoin go away? I'm mining Litecoin exclusively for this reason, as it's going to go back up soon.

They're trying to regulate it, I don't see why they would shut it down when they can profit from it. But I would assume the prices would drop.

Yeah, it just so happened that AMD had the best performance for scrypt mining. They didn't plan on it, but when they found out, retailers started raising prices. I would think Nvidia is rethinking some things, because there is little reason to buy a Nvidia, as you can do more with an AMD at the...

They were literally out of stock of everything, and all but two brands were over sold. These things are selling like hot cakes.

I ended up ordering this, R9 290, should be in stock 2-3 weeks

These cards are the most efficient at mining scrypt, so the demand raised the prices. I don't want to fry my mobo running it 24/7. From my understanding it has a 3+1 phase and I would want to upgrade to a 4 + 1 phase VRM

Which software do you suggest? if any I don't need much documentation.

I don't think the word "crashing" means what you think it means.

I currently have the following Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-M68MT-S2 I am buying an AMD Radeon 7950 for 24/7 scrypt mining. From my understanding, my Mobo is a tad bit on the week side. So I want to know if I should buy a new Mobo while I'm at it? I was looking at the GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P, but I thought...
