  1. If cost is an issue with the monitor then give this one or one like it a try. Only $280 - 144 Hz gaming https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009642&ignorebbr=1 Whoops. Just noticed the 4k part... lol
  2. In that case, you made a great choice. I'm with you though on 3D games, I personally don't play them often enough for it to matter much. My 42 y.o. middle aged man reflexes already make it so that I'm terrible at online FPS games. I'll lose just as fast at 120 frames/sec as I will at 50 or 60.
  3. That's a nice general use monitor, but if you ever decide to get one for 3-D gaming, spend the extra $70 and go for one with a higher refresh rate like this one: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009642&ignorebbr=1
  4. Post before you get the part so we can either pat you on the back for a good choice or kick you in the butt for a bad choice. Your near-miss/disaster with the CPU has me worried.
  5. You can also get ideas from the PC Master Race Reddit page if you'd like to see what others are doing... https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/
  6. Don't take this the wrong way but why in the hell would you get a 3 generation old CPU that came out years ago?! It doesn't even run on the current-gen LGA1151 motherboards! You'll have to buy a 3 year old motherboard. Here's a current-gen Kaby Lake CPU which runs faster and cooler that also comes with 3 free games on Newegg's Canadian website: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117726&ignorebbr=1
  7. If you aren't going to get the GTX 20 series card in 2-3 months, then get the 1080Ti video card. Both the 1080Ti and upcoming 20 series are Pascal based architecture and pretty heavy duty.
  8. I saw the other day that they've already started hacking into the Switch. It's just a browser hack for now, but once/If they get into the Kernel of the OS, Nintendo is going to have a fight on its hands with game piracy.
  9. $1,800 will net you a very solid build. Post your specs when you decide what components you are buying. Hold off if you can on buying a top of the line Nvidia 1080Ti GTX video card because the GTX 20 based cards are coming out in the summer and will be better suited for 4k gaming. The Nvidia 12nm based Volta GPUs are going into supercomputers this year but won't be available for consumer PCs until sometime in 2018. ----------- Lord GabeN welcomes you!!
  10. Buffalo Beauts 2017 NWHL Isobel Cup Champions!

  11. Has anybody here run into the controller syncing problem yet? Supposedly the day 1 patch upped the power draw which was supposed to help take care of the problem but there are still complaints rolling in.
  12. Tell me you're actually being funny about dbag being a burn. That gets thrown around on the internet all of the time.
  13. So you're asking others whether you should practice some self control and patience? If it helps you any, Nintendo says it will be shipping out many more Switches in the upcoming weeks.
  14. Get help. You're addicted to a video game.
  15. There is a console peasant war going on Metacritic right now with BOTW. It gained steam on a sub-Reddit, but there are fanboys of other systems intentionally giving it low scores because they think that the critics were bribed into giving it good scores. It's such a console peasant-y thing to do. Who cares if a critic gives it an 80 or a 95? http://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild
  16. In all seriousness, I'd be willing to bet most people on CDC probably do. I'm an avid retrogamer on top of computer gaming. I own MAME cabinets that emulate arcade games as well as retro consoles. I'm just not a fan of modern consoles.
  17. Tell me you aren't chomping on the chum after the fact?!
  18. If you knew me here then you'd know I enjoy lightly trolling the more sensitive people among the CDC membership. On occasion I chum the water and reel in the most tender among them with the PCMR stuff in the gaming forum.
  19. Mostly because it bothers people like you and @g_bassi13.
  20. Early adopting console peasant problems:
  21. In MMA, the judges aren't looking for total domination so much as looking for the challenger to fight a good enough fight that they can't be faulted for deciding to strip a belt. The GSP-Hendricks fight was an example of judges afraid to take the belt from a popular superstar fighter. That was totally boxing level incompetence from those judges.
  22. As you can see by my real time posts, I gave the second round to Wonderboy. I think that MMA judges are starting to score championship fights like they score championship boxing. Unless the challenger is clearly superior, they are reluctant to take a title away. Look at Sal D'Amato's scorecard. He clearly scribbled a 9 into an 8 when he saw that he had Wonderboy winning the fight. He purposely turned his card into a draw. I'm not upset with the decision because I personally think it really was a toss-up. They were dancing way more than they were fighting.
