Form a pure performance standpoint you're slightly right right.. But it all depends on the use case! For Youtubers/streamers recording and making videos those lower level disks makes a bad purchase, but for storage, movies, games libraries and backup their excellent value. Most people don't...

As other say.. It does sound like your PSU. Your system shouldn't be pulling more than 400ish watt, but that is propably more than that PSU can reliably deliver without fluctuations.. I'd recommend a 700-800w PSU, as this would make you pull around 50% where most PSU's are pretty efficient! You...

I think You goofed up the spreadsheet.. According to that, base clock is higher than boost clock :unsure: Anyways.. It's awesome that AMD is coming up with an alternative to the NUC-series from Intel, and we finally get some competition on that market aswell. I'll be looking forward to seeing...

Where i live taxes and crap bumps up the price to 560 $ us converted.. At that price I've long lost interest, It's sad, but enthusiast parts have just gotten insanely expensive over the last decade, with prices rising far more than the average income., but it's not as insane as the phones...

How much does RAM even matter anymore.. at 3000 MHz+ the differences in performance is often 1-2 FPS, a second or 2 in blender. It seems to me it's more a question of looks and price. The days of gains from more expensive RAM is ancient history by now. Unless ur going for records it doesn't...

I want one for running minecraft :D

Why is it legal for big moneypits to manipulate the markets like that?? You can't do it to the stock market because it can potentially hurt some other rich douche, but using the same trick to screw over consumers.. Feel free, their just sheeps! Society is so completely broken and the free...

Corporate greed, screwing over the consumers once more!.. They know PC's can't be built without RAM, and it's relatively cheap to buy up large amounts, and then artificially inflate the prices. Wish samsung, Hynix, etc. would bump up production and give them a solid slap in the face, since those...

Where i live (Denmark) they just started competing on the prices, this has resulted in some ISP's offering 1Gb/1Gb for 43,7 USD So i hope the price will rub off at my ISP as i'm paying the same for a 60/60 Mb (running at least 65/65 when tested up to 100/100) Fair use on my connection... Full...

I don't see the point in the DVD-burner, Not even for the OS media, as this i DL'able on MS website, same for the software to make the USB install drive.. I'd rather see the price for a descent USB 3.0/3.1 drive to pop the OS onto included in the build instead. I know 0 people that can't at...

It will work just fine.. it can run on 100-240V

Core 2 Extreme QX9770 is the fastest CPU made for LGA775 @ 3.2 GHz

The CASEKING i link to is a prebuilt with OS installed, guaranteed 4,5 GHz OC, 16BG ram, 512GB SSD and a 980GTX. And they do excellent work, so i think that its a good price if he doesn't want to assemble himself.

For streaming i'd go for 16GB of ram..

Given that your PSU is a single rail it should be able to run a SLI setup (unless you plan on a couple of powerhungry titans og 780/ti's) Taken from a test done with at 970 SLI setup. Measured power consumption GTX 970 2-way SLI System in IDLE = 123 Watts System Wattage with GPU in FULL...
