Unrelated, I'm wondering if a Windows 10 based HTPC would be a good replacement for the Amazon fire TV, especially since it has so many apps on it now that make shyt easy.

Thanks for the compliments kind sir. In regards to HTPC, with Amazon Fire TV capable of using Plex, XBMC, etc, I feel the days of the HTPC are numbered unless you game on the thing, but then now there's also Steam's in-home streaming, Nvidia's gamestream, so yeah, a souped up dedicated HTPC is meh now unless you can find other uses for it.

my SSD (128 GB) was at 4 GB and I was trippen out because I have 0 games installed and not many apps (photoshop, OBS which I dont even use and chrome thats about it..)

I was it cant be random pictures taking up 100 GB (30 GB for windows of course)

come to find out, my iPhone back up, was taking up 30 GB of space and something else was taken up 6 GB of space (a game I forgot to delete).

so now im at 35 GB of space (was at 40 GB, but soon as I updated itunes it went to 35 gb ? )

either way 40 GB or 35 GB, I should have another 35-50 GB of free space that I just cant figure where its being used up.. I tried Search Gigantic files.. hidden folders, etc.

Is there a program I can get that will show me large folders and files ?

Try Space Sniffer, also try deleting restore points if you have system restore enabled, and turning hibernation off. If more space is needed then you can manually set the size of your page file.

do you want a laptop with a 4k screen (expensive) or just a laptop with a 4k output?

keep grinding breh. the key to improvement is honestly playing a lot of deathmatch, if you aren't, check out the fragshack servers, i just put on a podcast or music and deathmatch for however long I feel like and then hop into a real match. high level players frequent those servers so it will whip your aim into shape. and then after that its just working on nades and movement and overall game IQ. I wish I had a smurf account near your rank to play with you. All of my smurfs are at supreme now
