Lol what does my word count have to do with your insecurity?


Chill bruh, it's all fun man. Relax

because your point you are failing to make about me "being upset" is that I typed a long post (even though responding to 3 different posters in 1 post), while using your own theory you have the longest post in this thread (by far) which would make you the most upset (by far)

no wonder you are -3500 in the red.

nikka, laugh at the fukking joke instead of angrily ripping apart your T-79 Platinum glossed hydrogen cooled bionic keyboard with replica p*ssy attachment.

Ain't nothing worse than a Breh who comes out of left field when a joke is made about a trivial matter and he kills the whole vibe on some passive aggressive shyt.


nikkas out here laughing shyt on some :russ::mjlol::lolbron::pachaha:
And this nikka comes out talmbout -

"Well, I fail to see the humor in that as a result of various points of contention indicating a high probability that..."

With a lisp and shyt, too, probably. :bryan:

It says I have a sense of humor.

You, on the other hand, are getting dumb sensitive over this - very spooky.

I DO NOT hate on the the LGBT community...

To all the pc gamers out there I have a question for you...




When your friends come over to play games what's the seating arrangement like?

Is it kinda like...

Or more like..

It's really apples and tangerines. MSFT not building parts ordered from newegg :pachaha:

There will be "sweet deals" and bundles with the X1X as well.

Only valid comparisons are MSRP vs MSRP

Also none of these comparisons consider form factor. To build a comparable system at a comparable size, the price would go way up.

M$ used parts that aren't available to consumers though. I can't buy that Scorpio APU and 12gb of GDDR5

True.

I think the best comparisons should focus on performance as opposed to matching specs. But even then I think the X1X would easily come out on top.

They did a great job with the price/performance ratio. Much better than the OG X1.

off the shelf PC parts are designed to be modular and adhere to certain standards, but that adds cost to the product. they're also not willing to sell their shyt at a loss, to make the money back through games and/or services

the advantage is you can upgrade parts and keep up with the tech. you have a lot of options as far as how much you want to spend, and how you want to spend it. but some people are gonna see that as a downside, because it can make things confusing, and/or very expensive. especially for those who can't resist the urge to always have the latest shyt

it's a different market :manny:

Agreed. As a person in both markets. Both have their advantages/disadvantages.

You being in both markets has nothing to do with it tho sir. The PC hustle is instead of sticking with a standard and Improving it for years at a time, they come out with a new standard within a years time.

Consoles stick with what they have for 5yrs, less benchmarks to reach, more time for optimization so they get much more out of less.

What pc gamers routinely do is overlook that and act like they can tell you what the equivalent is. I don't need to drive a Lamborghini to know that it's faster than a Prius. Digitalfoundry said it's legit so it's legit, Xbox wins again :win:

I wouldn't bother. I'd just spend the extra to get a much better rig. A PC isn't a locked box anyway. You can upgrade it over time as you see fit.

I'm 2 years into my 6700K and there's no need to upgrade it anytime soon. Hell there are people still gaming on 2500Ks from 2011 with no real need to upgrade.

The moral is if you're gonna get into PC gaming do it right and don't cheap out and buy budget parts if you can save for the good stuff.
