    Just my personal experience. I have used an 11700k for the past few years without any issues. The pc is used for gaming, and the usual internet stuff.

    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    60 and 75 hz are fine and don't need to die. My son always tells me that I need to upgrade my old 1080p 60 hz monitor to 144hz. He says it makes a big difference and he can't go back.

    What video game did you play most as a child?

    I almost thought the Magnavox Odyssey, but when we got the 2600 that thing never saw the light of day again. The games I played the most were probably space invaders, asteroids, and pole position.

    Speakers?

    I bought some Creative T10 speakers a few years ago and have been happy with them. I think they would work well for your intended use. https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Inspire-Multimedia-BasXPort-Technology/dp/B00113PUJQ

    970 GTX owners, about that settlement...

    I received one of these letters also. It is kind of bogus since I gave them this info the first time. I filled it out and sent it in, hopefully it will be ok this time.

    The Intel Atom Thread

    I am sure those vivobooks are just renders, but they look pretty sharp. Maybe I will finally retire my mini heater, otherwise known as the HP DM1.

    New 470, Minecraft issue

    Win 10 64 bit, tried 16.12.1 and 16.12.2. He has couple of Acer monitors, the K222HQL is the main, and the AL1917W is the secondary. The primary was plugged into hdmi and the secondary dvi. I just ended up trading him my 970 for the 470, works great now.

    Well, I could not really find anything on this issue so I fixed it the only way I could think of. I traded him my EVGA 970 SSC for the 470. I have 30 days to see how it works for me.

    Star Citizen Development Discussion (Is Derek Smart Right?)

    I guess I could see a one time contribution, but it is the selling of ships to That sounds worse than those f2p and ptw mobile games, or any game that I can recall. The problem I have with that kind of funding model is that you are constantly paying to play the game. I know I am on the older...
