I just hopped back on it last night. Forgot how amazing the game is. About to finish the campaign solo real soon - didnt beat the game yet.
Need better weapons tho
Just copped a 6850k build off cyberpower pc (I told y'all I was done with building 
)
I'm gonna install my 2 HDDs and 2 Titan X Ps in the system, and sell my old 4790k system with the 2 1080s in it on ebay once I get my new shyt.
Now time to look at PCIe SSDs (since I have 40 lanes)

I have that Samsung M.2 950 model. shyt is bananas. Never going back to mechanical OS drives. Makes computing a whole different experience. Haven't even gamed on the new system since I don't have a real GPU yet. Just everyday shyt is cool to do nowNow time to look at PCIe SSDs (since I have 40 lanes
BTW, would you consider selling a Coli breh one of those 1080s at a good price?
I think I could make more money selling the system as a whole, but I'll let you know.I have that Samsung M.2 950 model. shyt is bananas. Never going back to mechanical OS drives.

If you're interested in the whole system (which is a monster), I could give you a coli discount
That's what's up. I would be interested, but I just dropped 600 on CPU, MB, RAM case, and PSU, my old joint died on me a month ago.

All for $2850. It should be here in a week or two.

im sorry breh but if u seriously paid that much for that than u
it only takes 2-3 hours tops to build a pc and install os and drivers. but, its your money so
. wait for the samsung 960 m.2 drives in a couple weeks. i currently have the 512gb 950 pro for my gaming rig and shyt is noticeably faster but not as drastic as going from a mechanical drive to ssd. im getting rid of mechanical drives and upgrading my storage drives to ssd and my x99 to m.2
Word. My shyt is gonna sell for $3000 on ebay I think. 2 1080 founder's editions ($1400 off the bat), 4790K that can be overclocked to 4.7ghz safely, expensive ASUS board, fast 16gb of RAM, AX1500i PSU, etc. Even if I sell it for a few hundred dollars less, I'll still break even with my new shyt. Since it's already built and is already overclocked to the max, I think I can get possibly more then $3K, but $3K is what I'm looking for. If I can't get that, I'll part it out.
I paid for the convenience. I mentioned it a few months ago, but I'm done with building shyt. Sure, I'll install some SSDs or HDDs and a GPU, but I'm done with building a whole unit. Plus, I got a 2 year warranty

I may have paid an extra $300-500, but it's worth it to me for the convenience and warranty.
That rig sounds like a beast. I stopped PC gaming years ago being cheap and lazy (IT for a living, some days, the last thing I want to see is a computer), but the bug is starting to get me...
The rig is a beast if you're doing 1080p or 1440p, but I felt like I needed an upgrade to play my games at 5K. I suspect my 4790K, with it's 18 lanes, was bottlenecking my Titan X Ps. Now I'll have full 16x16 and 6 cores. shyt should beThat rig sounds like a beast.

What has become of our Hero's?
We grew up and decided having the convenience of a not having to build our own PCs and the 2 year warranty (with just one company) was worth it.
What has become of our Hero's?
I've RMA'd so much shyt (if you follow my shyt on here you know I have the worst luck with tech), and having to RMA with only 2 companies (Cyberpower PC and Nvidia [for my Titan X Ps)), with a 2 year warranty, is worth it to me.
I don't mind spending the extra $300-$500 for the convenience. I'll have a super, super computer (cuz my current one, to be honest, is still a super computer
) without having to bother with RMAing RAM from one company, RMAing my MOBO from a different company, and RMAing my cooling from another company, etc., etc.. I've grown up and no longer want to build my shyt anymore. It is what it is.
I want some quick and easy shyt. All I have to do with the system I just bought is:
-install my 2 gpus
-install my 2 hdds
-buy and install a pcie ssd
-check the overclock and maybe push it further.
I dunno what to say.
I've moved on from buying everything from newegg/amazon, etc., and building it myself. Ain't nobody got time for that shyt anymore.
