Wasn't this supposed to be a beginner guide?


That's why it's so thorough. It's a disservice to any beginner to just throw a PCpartpicker build at them and say "This build is better. Trust me." Though that's usually all we have time to do on a forum.

It's incredibly long. If nobody reads it, no big deal. I enjoyed writing it and actually learned from it while doing research. My main concern now is that this forum has barely any formatting options. It'll be 1000 times easier to read once I've formatted it word. I'll post the text here, but I think I want to host a PDF of it somewhere.

Any suggestions on where I could host it? I'd like it to be simple to download and open -- none of those free hosting sites full of deceptive ads where you have to click the proper "Download" button or else you get malware.

Since this is the real tech board with the real tech threads i am coming here with this. Anyone see the Iphone 5s? 64 bit cpu, I wonder what they will do to use that, either way I figured it was only a matter of time until that started in phones.

What were they using before? x86 Arm chip?

It's an iPhone. It won't really do anything different.

I'm looking to upgrade my pc in the next year.

Is updating the Radeon 5700 recommended?

I would do it now since AMD Gpus are on the cheap.

I have 2 7950s. Price for performance ratio can't be be right now. There are new cards coming out pretty soon and it might make the current ones go even lower. You can get one for around 200 after MIR.

I've always thought benching was overrated.
I never understood why people take it so seriously.

My wife just got a 16gb nexus 4. It's pretty gucking baller. You got a link for those that are 125? I'm thinking about getting one now.

I have benched them a little.

1125/1400@1.25v they get a 18k graphic score. Overall with my 8350 at 4.8 I'm getting around 13k.

8350 bottlenecks them really bad in the combined score. I get a higher combined test with only one GPU.

Yup, they have been since Sunday. That's why the wife got the 16gb one.
