interesting

i already have a buyer for my 4gb 380 and he wants it within the next 3 weeks lmao woops. waiting for a 490 or potentially a non-founders 1070 but i may have to settle for a 480. all depends on how well it does in real-world tests

Got one of these 5 tb External HDD as a gift. Hope it lasts.

Good luck, seagates have the worst reliability.

Also just ordered my new setup, should be built by next week. Too loving hyped of me lord the hype.

will post pics of the build process and once it's up and running.

- Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 Black
- Corsair Air Series AF140 140mm Purple LED Quiet Edition x2
- MSI Z170A SLI Plus LGA 1151
- Nvidia GTX 1070 Founder's Edition
- Intel Core i5-6600K
- Noctua NH-D15
- CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB DDR4 x2
- CORSAIR RMx Series RM850X

and unfortunately the OS will be Win10 bc DX12, and the new Forza Horizon game will be on PC.
does anyone know of a program that disables Win10 updates though? I've heard of one but it was only on Win7/8

hey i figured i'd come here for laptop advice even though it's a desktop-oriented thread:

i have roughly 1900 dollars to spend on a laptop. i need it for coding (mainly algorithmic trading/stock market stuff) as well as some graphical work. a graphics card would be nice as i'd like to game a bit, but emphasis on battery life and portability/utility i guess. any screen size is ok

any advice would b appreciated <3

Pastrey Crust · June 14, 2016, 04:31:54 PM

I'd say go for the Surface Pro.

surface pro 4
they have different models at different prices to fit whatever you need, and they have some models that go up to your limit and then some

interesting! why the surface in particular? it's always been my understanding that the keyboard is Major Ass�

Pastrey Crust · June 14, 2016, 04:36:07 PM

It's a desktop compressed into a laptop. The battery isn't a piece of stuff, it's built specifically for Windows 10 by the company that owns the OS, and is lightweight.

It's got very good specs.

Pastrey Crust · June 14, 2016, 04:39:43 PM

I really don't know what you mean by "loose keyboard". AFAIK, it's a screwed-in keyboard much like every other laptop in existance.

sample size too small to properly represent the reliability of hundreds of thousands of drives
