Im down to my final ordering. Since im transferring into gaming on my PC, where can i get games for free?

So imma cop that Asus Matrix R90 280x 3GB but how much wattage should my PSU be? I cureently have a EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750 G 80 PLUS GOLD Certified 750W in the cart...is that good enough?

That should do.

Dualshock 4 works fine on Steam using the X360ce program. I played a bit of Batman with it and it worked with no problems. Once this thing gets rumble support and/or official drivers than this thing will be a nice controller for PC gamers.

I personally need a computer now for school as my MacBook pretty much died and I need to be able to do homework. I may buy some more ram or something on Black Friday or get some back up stuff. But I need some brakes and rotors and I kno KOI by me had some deals last year on Black Friday so I'm all in there

With the bias put aside how does it feel vs the 360 controller and is it as responsive? Also where did you cop? I may have to cop one.

Heads up for those thinking about purchasing 280x's,

They'll be updating the GPU on it in a few weeks to ones that run more efficient and run cooler.

I'll just say it's just as comfortable as the 360 controller if not more. The analog sticks in particular are very much improved especially with the concaveness and ridge around the stick. It's much shorter and feels stiffer(pause). The grip is just right and a couple people who came over my house earlier said it felt amazing as soon as they grabbed it. (pause) I copped at a Gamestop. Just call and ask for it and they should have no problem selling u one.

Edit: Oh and it pairs flawlessly. I paired it once with my rocketfish blutooth adapter and restarted and it paired up automatically since the controller was still on.

but wasnt the 290x the one that needs the more efficiency and cooling?
i thought the 280x was doing alright for itself. i need to keep tabs on these things lol

my god

the crib is so cold my comp is idling at 23c

Are SSD's really worth copping? I figured a 2TB HD would be enough space
