    Its pretty crappy for 2 yrs ago, mind me asking how much you paid for it? You could try and get a new graphics card and plugging it in and checking it out, but you are CPU bound with that shitty proc. More ram would slightly improve, but not much over 4 gigs. Hope you learned your lesson.

    I make one from Gorgonzola, but I also add asparagus. But you could substitute the asparagus out or with some other thing, or just omit it. But Its easy and quick to make probably like 10 min when you have all ingredients assembled. I have made this with mushroom as well. butter chpooed...

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    What Ive seen in this game that even one squad, that are not even that skilled per say in a shooter, but obviously knows the game, can quickly turn a tide of a match if they are communicating. Might not be a total curbstomp, but obviously if you do this with 2-3+ squads with voice coms and a...

    For that 770? Yeah. But if you wanna go bigger, by all means. If its 3 yrs old though, you might be able to reuse it. Most power supplies go for 6+ yrs if they are good ones.

    Because motherboard still processes the sound. It has a specific chipset for sound, your video card does not it. The sound simply passes through your video card. To test this, uninstall your motherboards sound drivers and see if the audio works when HDMI is plugged into your video card....It...

    Why would you upgrade that proc? That thing is still a beast and overclocks like one too. The later iterations of the i5 pretty much worked on the on board graphics, only slightl increasing processing power. Oh and the i5 2500K uses 1155 not 1150.

    This was also the problem with BF3 and BF4 on the old consoles too. Just not the same having 12-18 players max, or whatever it was, on smaller cropped maps. It just does not give you that epic BF feeling that 32 or 64 player does on full maps, shit even the close quarters maps with 64 people are...

    I personally have the MSI and AsRock boards in both my PCs and both are great. but they are the budget models, usually I stay around $135 for motherboards. I find those extreme overclocking and other useless features bloated. Also I dont do SLI or Crossfire, and do not plan to. I tend to go with...

    General consensus on Gigabyte boards is to stay away. They do/did some shady shit with their power supply in the past, not sure if its still a problem but Go MSI/Asus/ASRock instead.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    This just goes to show you how they fucked themselves with the $500 price point. They lost before they even began because of it. They should of released the xboner without the useless kinect. And sold it separately, like they did with the 360. Maybe bundle the kinect with a game that truly...

    Diet is the way. But its hard. It takes determination and shit ton of willpower. But it does get easier. Any time in my life that I have lost weight was through diet. Ive tried cardio, weight-lifted for years, but nothing has done it more than diet. Its pretty simple really.

    Quiznos were good subs, but way too overpriced IMO. I remember Sabarros from my youth, they were around here in the malls, all malls around the Detroit area had one. But they all vanished too.
