You just saved me the $9.00 from seeing Iron Man 3 in the theaters. I HATED Iron Man 2 and if this one is worse I might not even bother with the $1.50 from Redbox on it.

Lol, when I opened this thread, the first post I read was #14. I thought, I've never heard cpu's talked about like this!

Even after tax and a 110 mile round trip drive to the nearest Micro Center in Denver I saved a lot off Newegg's prices at the time on my 2600k/Asrock mobo combo.

FYI Micro Center has the i5 3570k for $169.99. They have the i7-3770k for $229.99. That's $40 and $100 respectively cheaper than Newegg! They also do a $40 off bundle savings on mobos/cpus so a...

Actually he's the perfect person for the job Dutch. The last "Service" he worked for oversaw billions of dollars getting into the hands of illegal aliens fraudulently, and now he can make sure the...

A good article showing benchmarks across the board between the i5's and the 8350. The 8350 does good in some of the cpu intensive tasks but falls badly in gaming. Then there is the huge problem...

Even though the whole IRS going after the Tea Party is obviously a bad thing, the fact that they continue to send out huge refunds to illegal aliens who then send the money straight to Mexico is an...

Honestly if I were ASM, I'd look at all the benchmarks myself and decide which chip does best in the games/applications I play/use the most. It would be a toss up to me if it weren't for the...

I'll be interested to hear your results Poci, but that "heat the cpu up to 85C" bit makes me nervous!:eek:

I like this thread. It reminds me of the old days of AMDMB.com when we were all doing the most extreme stuff we could with our pc's such as custom water cooling. So much more relaxing than talking...

I have a really nice power supply calculator (Extreme Outer Vision) that I use so entered the specs of my above recommended system into it. Amazingly enough it comes back with a 247 watt recommended...

I don't know where you're getting your benchmarks from but from all the ones I've seen, the 8350 is no match even for an i5 much less an i7. Then there's the whole subject of power consumption. The...

Less chances of something going wrong with the OS, although the chances are very small. In the past I have had Windows want to reactivate after a bios update for instance.

If I had the choice I would definitely do it before I installed the OS.

Thought this fit even better.:D

Here's what I came up with after a fun little jaunt through Newegg.:)

ASRock Z75 Pro3 LGA 1155 Intel Z75 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

So THIS is the BS that goes through every Obamabot's wittle minds.

My families health plan has gone from a zero deductible (BO don't like 'da Cadillac plans) to a $1,000 yearly deductible. Basically for regular doctor's visits we no longer have insurance. Goodbye...

How could you not? Seriously, if I saw a large group of people burning books (any people burning any books) I'd draw parallels between them and Nazis. I'm not saying they themselves are Nazis, just...

Translation. Liberals pretending to burn books=joke. Conservatives pretending to burn books=OUTRAGE!!!! I LOVE how the best comparison you can come up with is a moron religious zealot that once...

Well, I changed my plans around a bit. Because the AC-1750 routers are still well above $150, and knowing that my main computer in the basement is the one I really needed the speed at the most, I...

Totally agree. My electricity is .08 cents a Kw/hr, so that helps.

Yeah I listen to First Wave on Sirius all the time. I also have Alt. Nation, Lithium, 80's, 90's, Classic Rewind, and even Hair Nation on my presets. I like 1st Wave so much, I don't even mind...

Unless you live in an area where the cost of electricity is extremely high, (like Jersey no doubt) and the price of BTC goes really low, as in under $50, you'll make money mining them with a 7950 or...

I'm strange I suppose as not only did I like the hair bands music, I also liked all of the "First Wave" bands too such as Depeche Mode, Thompson Twins, The Cure, The Police, etc. I also liked the...
