I've said this multiple times before on here, but I really think the sweet spot for video cards at any given time are the cards in the $300-$400 range. Just plan on buying something in that price range every 2 years or so and you'll always be able to play all the newest games on high/ultra...

Or heck, if you want to spend $700+, just snag 2 4GB 770s right now, that setup will blow the doors off of any single card on the market, for not much more cost(if any) than a 780ti

Four Roses is pretty good stuff, I've bought it multiple times. And I know it's nothing even remotely fancy or trendy, but my easy-to-find go to whiskey is just Makers Mark. Relatively smooth and easy to drink and not overly expensive. I prefer mine with just a splash of water and maybe 1 ice...

i7 4770k is what you want CPU wise I'm not 100% sold on the 780ti, it's just so damn expensive. I know it would still be within your budget but I've never been a fan of spending $700 on a video card. I've personally done it in the past and regretted it when looking back on the purchase a...

The main problem with AMD isn't pure performance. An 8350 is *almost* as good of a gaming CPU in pure performance as your typical i5 3570k, maybe only a couple % slower. The problem is, it's at best equivalent, never better, sometimes worse, and it uses more power, runs hotter, and costs the...

I'll take your word for the MMO issue, as I haven't played any in several years so I don't pay a lot of attention to MMOs anymore, but I've never seen any benchmark anywhere that showed more than a 1-2% FPS difference at most in any other type of game (typical Crysis/Battlefield/Skyrim/Dirt...

You will see almost no performance difference in games between a single RAM module and dual-channel (2) modules in gaming performance unless you are using your integrated intel graphics. Now, doing something like video transcoding or 3D rendering is a whole different beast, it would most...

Sometimes their in-store pricing is a bit cheaper than their listed prices online. Its always worth a trip there to check it out. The online price is probably the everyday price, I don't notice too many sales on their website but if you luck out it might be even cheaper in-store.

I have no idea what the conversion rate is for pounds to dollars, but take my above build, slap an i7 in it instead of an i5, bump it up to 16GB of RAM, and you're set for everything you just asked for (gaming and video rendering). Might need some more HD storage too assuming you don't have...

At the very least she's interested in a glass-bottomed boat

A lot of people just assume that homeowners insurance pays for EVERYTHING that could go wrong with a house. I can't tell you how many times we have to break the bad news to someone that no, we aren't buying you a new hot water heater or air conditioner just because yours is old and stopped working.

Costco is solid, and you won't find many places cheaper if you are buying locally rather than online. I bought my last 2 TVs from Costco, and I searched EVERYWHERE locally, Best Buy, WalMart, local specialty A/V places, and Costco was at least as cheap, if not cheaper than them all, and they...

Building completely from scratch, I'd probably do something like this: PCPartPicker part list/Price breakdown by merchant/Benchmarks CPU:Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor($225.99 @ NCIX US) Motherboard:ASRock Z87 Extreme4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard($134.99 @ Newegg)...

I know Nintendo has a shitload of money stashed away, but I can't imagine they would be happy taking $350 million in losses for too many years in a row.

Damnit Nintendo, just transition over to being a software company for consoles, and the only hardware you sell is handheld/portables. I wonder how well a Gameboy-branded cell phone/tablet would do?

What are you mostly doing with it? Gaming? Photo/video/sound editing? Glorified Facebook machine? Media center?

I'm not against the overall idea of this program, but I guess my big question would be: Why would you live in an area that you clearly can't afford to live in? There's a damn nice neighborhood right next to my office, but the homes are about 2X the cost of my home. I'd love to live there...

You haven't missed anything yet, it's a seasonal beer that in the past has launched around Valentines day, it isn't on store shelves quite yet.

Did you find a screener for Nebraska? I can't find one at all on IPT

I had been eagerly awaiting "Her" since I first heard about it maybe 6+ months ago, but I'm also a huge Spike Jonze fan and I try to keep tabs on anything he is working on. Best. Music. Video. Director. Ever.

Are we 100% sure about that? I wouldn't put it past the writers to create an absolutely crazy montage and have 0% of it be true

Good for you man, anyone who doesn't take advantage of every resource available to them to try to better their lot in life is a fool

I'm not sure that I've even tried 5 different chocolate beers. However, if you like that sort of thing keep an eye our for Boulevard's Chocolate Ale. They're bringing it back this year and it's pretty good, and very unique. It's a lager, not a thicker stout or porter, but still has a pretty...

Let's be honest here. If this taxpayer money wasn't being wasted on this, it would be wasted on something probably worse. At least the guy isn't looking for a totally free handout. Him and his wife both work, both pay taxes, and are actually paying for the home, they're just getting it for...

I think Bruce Dern takes the best actor oscar. They'll treat it as kind of a lifetime achievement award. He's always been one of those guys that was always a supporting actor, or had an odd bit part in a movie, but other actors and directors absolutely love the guy, and never really got a...

I'm all for being reasonably frugal and not living beyond my means, but there's zero chance I'm ever going out and digging through people's trash unless I'm homeless. The best thing to do is find out when the nicer neighborhoods in your town do their yearly spring or fall community...

True, there are some nice houses that pop up occasionally but they are hotly contested, a LOT of people put in for them. My friend had to wait about 2 years before he finally got a decent house. Still though, easily worth the wait getting your house for half price.

For most people, the more you make, the more you spend. I've had friends that have literally doubled(or more) their income since getting out of college, and they still act as broke as they ever did, and I'm sure they are. Most people put a lot of importance on keeping up with the Joneses...

Not to derail, but I work with a guy who owns a TON of rental properties and they are all classified as Section 8 and he loves it because the government pays like 70-80% of the rent, he only has to collect the rest from the renters. So even if someone stiffs him or doesn't pay for months at a...

Maybe it's the governments way of trying to normalize housings costs for people who don't make a lot of money but happen to live in an expensive area? I'm not overly familiar with Virginia but I assume that getting a home for $138K anywhere even remotely near that area isn't really an option...

The little kid from Hansen is now 28 years old.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with refurbished electronics. In fact, most refurbished electronics go through more strenuous Q&A testing than brand new electronics. It's a great was to save some money on a perfectly fine product. They're generally items that are defective right out of the...

"Inside Llewyn Davis" - the Coen brothers new movie is available as a web screener on IPT. About the only movie left I'm waiting for now is "Nebraska" Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) - IMDb

Just curious, how old were you two when you got married? Seems like the younger you are the more likely one or both people are still going to go through some major life changes that can drastically affect the marriage.

This season is absolutely nuts so far, seems like there is a major upset(or 2 or 3) every single night. #3 Wisconsin falls to unranked Indiana and #13 Kentucky falls to unranked Arkansas last night Although, having a top 10 with no sign of kansas, Duke, Kentucky, or North Carolina is kinda...

True Blood might be the only thing HBO has done that you might argue has gone on too long, but it was pretty much trash from the start so it's not like the quality has really taken a nosedive or anything.

Milk / Sweet Stout | BeerAdvocate I've personally had a few of those top-rated ones like the Souther Tier Creme Brulee and the Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat, and both of those are very good as well.
