    Russian Hacking (You People are Idiots) Part 2

    No one legitimately responded to anything I said. Insults and strawmen arguments, even when I was being reasonable. Exactly what I expected. Cuck echo chamber confirmed. This is why you don't argue with liberals. Oh well, we'll keep winning and screwing your girlfriends/wives.

    Russian Hacking (You People are Idiots) Part 2

    I'm curious why no one is mentioning the Clinton Foundation's links to Russia and the Uranium deal. If Melania Trump had met with the Russians and been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for a speech, and then around the same time, people related to the Trump Foundation were involved with...

    Help Me Build My Dream Gaming/Streaming PC

    Jesus christ those are delicious. Thank you for the recommendations. What's the performance boost i"ll see from the 1900x and the 1920x? If it's anything more than marginal, then def going with the top shelf one. Also, recommend any MOBOS? Oh and if I'm going to be runnin' a CPU like that...

    Help Me Build My Dream Gaming/Streaming PC

    It's been 7 years since I built my first PC. And you guys helped me do it (I still remember Mfenn helping me every step of the way - I wonder if he's still around). That badboy ran for a solid 4 years, kicking every game's ass. It wasn't until 2015 that I had to upgrade my GPU since my old EVGA...

    Laptop for Traveling and Gaming/Streaming

    Looks like I'm better off just getting a cheap laptop for my traveling and writing and just building a gaming desktop for when I'm not on the move, huh? I'll probably save some money in the process...if I break the laptop, big whoop, shit happens and everything is saved on like 3 difference...

    Laptop for Traveling and Gaming/Streaming

    Hey guys, I'm going to be traveling a lot starting later this year and need a sturdy but powerful laptop that could survive a drop or two (don't plan on it, but the vagabond lifestyle means anything can happen). Storage: a boot SSD and a 1TB harddrive. Memory: 16gb Screen: 17"should be...

    Thoughts on Sapphire R9 280 and Questions About HDMI

    Haha, good to know. I remember back in 2010 posting a 1000-watt PSU for the gtx470 and everyone was like "woah, dude, are you trying to power a spaceship or something?" Funny how little you actually need for most things in life. Also, just switched over to DVI and it looks MUCH better. I...

    Thoughts on Sapphire R9 280 and Questions About HDMI

    Hey guys, I've been a long-time forum member and thanks to you guys built my first-ever rig back in 2010 (big thanks to Mfenn and Davidh373; these guys rock). For a while I was considering an upgrade, but my gtx 470 just kept kicking ass...until the artifacts of Atlantis starting popping up...

    7970 Price Drop vs 770 Price/Performance Value?

    I have this guy. I'll probably end up waiting for Volcanic Islands, as I'm still spending so much time with games that my 470 can handle. I just love knowing the market. When I finish FFXIII and start playing Arkham City again, I'll be OCing my GPU and CPU and test what clock speeds are most...

    7970 Price Drop vs 770 Price/Performance Value?

    I'm so tempted to just buy it, considering I've been told you only lose 5% performance compared to the 7970 when OCing; I want to wait for Sea Islands..but so juicy, my glob. First thing I need to do is get a modulated PSU, though. 750w probably.

    7970 Price Drop vs 770 Price/Performance Value?

    The Vapor-x is the only one I saw go down (it was at exactly $399 only a few days ago). It wasn't an "official" price-drop that was covered by tech websites, but I knew that with the 700 series launching, it would only make sense. When I popped over to Newegg, there was the one ghz card I was...

    7970 Price Drop vs 770 Price/Performance Value?

    I just downloaded MSI Afterburner (if that's a scrub way to OC, I'm not sure) and have enjoyed simply turning up my fan speed (yay for sc2 not freezing mid-game!). I suspect I'll want to dip my toe in further in a bit, so yes, I will OC. And I will play every single one. Obviously this gives a...

    7970 Price Drop vs 770 Price/Performance Value?

    Tom's Hardware's review of the 770 had it showing almost equal performance to the 7970 GHz edition, but because of its pricing and frame pacing, the writer lauded the 770 as his "new favorite high-end GPU." For single-card performance, however, there is little difference in frame time...

    Will my GA-P55-USB3 Motherboard run Gskill Sniper 1866 ram?

    Hmm, well $66 doesn't seem too bad for 8gb. Also, I do have a CrucialM4 SSD 120gb, but I didn't put Hots on it. But thank you all for the advice! I think it's a failing stick even though it passed the Windows memory test. Or an L3 cache failure?

    Will my GA-P55-USB3 Motherboard run Gskill Sniper 1866 ram?

    Hey guys, so I've looked at the QVL for my motherboard as well as the specifications detailing compatible memory for my motherboard and the Gskill Sniper Ram I want to get to replace my current RAM doesn't seem to be compatible. I want to upgrade because while playing SC2:HOTS recently, I've...

    Hmmm, now this raises the question of whether I should get the VaporX version or not, for the long term. Will the extra $30 be worth the OC capabilities?

    Need Recommendation On GPU Upgrade

    Thank you, everybody, for your input and research! I was pretty sold on the 7970 and Russian's post definitely secured my confidence. I'll make sure to grab a heatsink and OC my CPU to keep up with my new badass GPU in a month :D Thank you again!

    SSD Being Slow

    Hey, so I've been using the SSD (Crucial m4 128gb) for about a month now and it's working great, I definitely notice the improved load times. But I benchmarked it and it's nowhere near where it should be, WIE is also only giving it a 7.2, when it should be scoring a 7.9. I've followed multiple...

    Upgrade - A year later in my computer building life

    Okay, I recorded them using the program, but also had the top left corner frame telling me what the FPS was - Under medium settings, my framerate obviously improved, but even under full ultra max settings, I could still play stably at 30-32 fps. The problem lies in "hiccups," what I previously...

    Coolpurple fan, I internalized your advice but still went with the Klipsch. The quality reassurance and my satisfaction verify my choice.
