    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    Interesting perspective, but inherently flawed. I'm assuming you have no experience in the financial side of running a restaurant. Paying servers "fairly", and getting a Burger & Fries in the portions North Americans demand, for under $10, just ain't gonna happen. Certainly not as long as...

    Ah absolutely then. Just checked my old v300. It's a 'made in Taiwan' 5.0.5 firmware. Probably why I never had any complaints. Guess I got lucky or something and didn't get one of the made in China 506 fugazis.

    Based on what? This is a budget build. If he wants to opt for something with 15% higher performance for 100% more money he's welcome to do that.

    It's $50 to get a new PC built at any decent dorkshop in any city in North America. If you buy a pre-built, expect to pay ~$1350 for something you could get assembled for you for $1000, and you'll get lower quality parts. It's that simple. Is it worth it to you to pay 30-40% more for your rig...

    Are you just gonna order it off the page I linked from PCpartspicker.com? If so, everything is cool. If not, pay close attention to the RAM you buy. The RAM I selected in that build is CAS 8. There is other G. SKILL Ripjaw RAM that is NOT of a quality that high.

    Always spend the most you can on a single-card solution, then crossfire down the road to augment performance and extend the life of your rig. Crossfire/SLI doesn't double performance just because there are 2 cards. You never get full performance out of the second card, and there are all kinds of...

    Titanfall

    If you are referring to Planetside 2, there is no way you will get decent playability out of that CPU, and I'm not surprised you're not seeing good results with Battlefield 3 either. I'm surprised Titanfall is giving you trouble, though.

    Is this a gaming rig? If so, why so much RAM? Why such a massive PSU? It's too big for what you have built here, and I think it's too small to SLI 780ti down the road. That case is pricey and I can't figure out why, do you just really like the looks of it? Coolermaster HAF 922/932 or Storm...

    Your GPU can't handle 1440p resolutions, so you are gonna have to rock a 1080p monitor. I'd also recommend a 24' monitor, because at 27' 1080p images start to look a little rough. Given that situation, you basically have 2 ways forward, and will depend on your personal preference. 1.Dell...

    Don't even think about 1440p unless you have a very high end PC. It's just not pleasant on anything under an r9 280x/gtx 770

    Get yourself a Radeon R9 270 for $150 if you don't mind team red. Comes with two free games. Anything much more powerful will just be bottlenecked severely by that CPU (which, btw, is overclockable to 4.2ghz. If you do that, you could probably go with something like a GTX 770 without real...

    The 6900 series are some of the highest power draw/heat at idle cards on the market. A 6950 draws more power at idle than a 780ti. Getting rid of it and moving to a 760 is like a 20% power savings

    I wonder how many Wii U consoles have to sell before 3rd parties start making games for it again. Not that Ireallycare. The offerings of very few console companies interest me besides Nintendo's own software. I've always found Nintendo gaming experiences vastly superior to most of what's out...

    Wii U

    I'm still waiting for a compelling exclusive on PS4/XBone to make me want to purchase a next gen console. As it stands, everything decent they have to offer will be offered on PC. Wii U on the other hand is far more compelling from an exclusive software perspective. No brainier for me.
