Based on this:AnandTech | An Update to Kingston SSDNow V300: A Switch to Slower Micron NAND Also that price listed for the Kingston V300 120gb($55) is erronius for NewEgg. It is actually $75. At which point aSamsung 840 EVO 120GBis amuchbetter choice.

When you're playing a video see if Flash Player is listed in the volume controls on the bottom right and is turned way down. Sometimes they don't play through Firefox (or Chrome) and it might just be Flash somehow got turned way down.

Edit: I am an idiot, nm. Comes with it, not on it. My reading comprehension sucks today.

^ agreed. Don't stress out over how to apply the thermal paste. You may have improved results one way or another but for a novice, using a dot in the middle with a size that is about between a rice and pea will be just fine and is easy as hell to do. But yeah mounting the CPU cooler is the...

Edit: double post.

Build your own rig. Period. It isn't hard and by watching YouTube videos and reading articles it iseasy. Here's what I came up with for about $1100~:Intel Core i5-4690K, Gigabyte Radeon R9 290, NZXT Source 210 Elite (Black) - System Build - PCPartPicker If you have a Microcenter near by...

Seananigans if you are near a MicroCenter get your processor and motherboard there. They have very good pricing on those bundles. I didn't look back to see if someone had already suggested this but here is the link:Intel Processor Motherboard Bundles | Micro Center

Pretty much exactly what you just said. For the 120 GB suggested and linked above you'll want to install Windows onto along with a few games. You could install your main programs (7ZIP, Chrome, Skype, VLC, etc.) on the storage drive but programs like that take up a pretty small chunk of space...

^ Side note on the build Quaid just linked. The Samsung EVO 120GB SSD is on sale right now for $70 w/free shipping. This is one of the best (Crucial M500 being another) budget SSD's out there. Here's the SlickDeals link, it may be even cheaper ($54?) through Google Wallet or something. I'm...

My monitor goes out when I play games. Thought it might be the video card but it did it with a completely separate computer. Crossing my fingers it is just a shitty DP cable.

Yup I know all about the LG G3. I want to see the Note 4 before I make the switch. The Note 4 will also have the same resolution and a minimum of a 5.7 inch screen size (some people think 5.9, but it certainly won't go down from 5.7). The specs should be top of the line as usual. We'll see...

Unless the Note 4 gets absolutely horseshit reviews I'll be replacing my HTC M8 with it.

^ fuck. you.

$1k budget From what I read clock speed is pretty important and multiple cores don't mean shit. I may use my existing i7-4770k / ASUS Z87-Pro / 16 GB ram and just update to the Haswell refresh on my gaming PC.

Does anyone on here have a computer they have built or could help build specifically for AutoCad? I find myself having to use it more and more for work. I was going to buy a new laptop but I highly doubt I would ever need to Cad on the go. Our work computers are straight horseshit so I am...

I think most of us know that but I will still only ever buy SeaSonic personally. I've used Corsair/Antec rebranded PSU's in friend/family's builds but mine will never have it. I tell them the same exact thing so they're educated at least (that some Corsair/Antec are just rebranded SeaSonic)...

Not to mention the fact (at least my experience) they have 2-3 associates just fiddlefucking around while you wait. And their system has never been functional when I've gone in the whopping three times in the past 2 years so I end up waiting even more while it "resets".

^ ditto. I'm not ashamed to say I would probably be classified as a SeaSonic fanboy. They are the only PSU's I'll ever buy now.

This is a REALLY good PowerSupply for a REALLY fucking good price, don't miss out if you are building a new system and are looking for a PSU similar to this one. It is a no brainer. Others can confirm but this PSU is probably one of the best PSU's you can buy for most (all?) single GPU...

lolwut? i5-4690k and i7-4790k are due out on the 25th. It is definitely worth it to wait a week and half.

Deal for anyone on a budget:Intel Core i3-4150 CPU + Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 Motherboard + 4GB DDR3 1600 Bundle $200 after $40 rebate + Free Shipping The CPU and Motherboard alone are $230 on NewEgg.

Waiting for the new K haswell chip I would agree with.

I disagree with mist about a non-K proc. May as well overclock them. It is quite easy to get a decent overclock (ie: not a "low stable overclock" whatever the fuck that means). I'd get a after-market cooler either way, Haswell tends to run pretty hot because of the thermal paste vs. soldered...

I'm with you 100% joeboo. I'm too fucking gunshy to switch to T-Mobile or AT&T or Sprint because I know for a fact Verizon works at my house/office/parents place/brothers place/sports fields/cabins/etc. Once my contract is up though I think I'm going to be testing the waters with a new company...

I believe the M8 has the LTE Advanced feature as well, no?

I use Textra personally. Hated Hangouts and still do.

Tarrant (and RR in general): I have a coworker (slightly older lady) who needs a replacement phone on Sprint. She has a Galaxy S2 that just shit the bed on her. She is not up for contract so she'd be paying full price. Needs something in the $75-150 range. Doesn't need something that'll power a...

290X is not a good choice if you're looking for a cooler build.

8gb is fine for gaming. Get two 4gb sticks. You can always add more on the cheap if you need.

If all you want to do is game at ultra at 1920x1080 (or 1920x1200 for that matter) with a cool computer then you only probably need to spend no more than $1k-1.5k, tbh.

You could play any game currently on the market in 4K resolution at ultra settings, that's what you could do.

Saw this on slickdeals, thought I'd share. No idea how good of a deal it was but it seems to be getting bumped quite a bit:500GB Sony PlayStation 4 Console $370 + Free Shipping - eBay Deals, Coupons and Promos

I only game at my desk. I use my desktop to stream movies via Plex to either of my TVs. Ditto for music. I use a laptop at work so if I ever travel I can take my work programs/stuff with me. I used to game when I traveled for work but I found that I don't even have the time. I have my work...

If you are a dog person I highly recommend avoiding watching the previous video. Really really wouldn't advise watching it. This isn't me saying anything about police brutality or whatever... just don't watch it if you're a dog person. 1:48 in this vid for the good person. Not advisable if...

Cigar City is an absolute must imo.
