I'm starting to get that way.

No more Diablo or MMOs.. no reason for M/KB for me. I'm not a FPS dude so the games played today are fine with controller

Yep. I have a cheap keyboard anyway that I don't like using. Turns out fallout 4 is just fine on controller.

Want a steamlink? I can sell it to you one for $40

I used mine all the time, but now that I got a 4K for the living room, I need something better

Thanks but in my new house my PC is right next to my TV so it wouldn't do any good.

My Grandpaw who got me into this hobby passed away yesterday. Biggest character I've ever been around.

He was my closest friend. We talked on the phone like 2 girls. Some of the best moments of my life I owe solely to him. First deer, first duck, first computer, first sports bet, first horse bet, conspiracy theories and an interest in knowledge.

Our favorite thing to do was watching random shtty mid week college games. Just because you never knew what to expect. A blast to bet those lines.

We each have that one person in our lives who had the biggest influence on the person we turn into. He was that person for me.

Sucks to lose anyone. So thinking about you Stout. Your Dad will pull through.

Really sorry to hear. My grandfather and I have a very similar relationship. I am fortunate to still have him around after bouts with lung and kidney cancers.

You are in my thoughts.

Have a custom built PC on sale. Has a i5 6600k processor (Skylake), 16g of DDR4 ram, gtx 970 graphics card, 1TB HDD, and access to my Steam account which has at least 30 games on it. Has some very popular and expensive games on there. Just built it about 8 months ago for gaming and I just want to get back into console gaming. Cpu Liquid Cooler went out on it. It only cost 80-90 dollars to replace. The value of the computer plus access to my steam account is a great value for 1000.


Craigslist ad, good price? I'm in the market for a new PC. want to either build my son one, or give him my current and build a better one.

Here are the used prices for each part

6600K - $180
Mobo - $100
16gb Ram - $40
1tb SSD - $35
Gtx 970 - $170
PSU - $50
Case - $40

So like half of $1000 is a good price.

Needing to upgrade my hard drive. When I got it I put a 125 GB SSD in it. How much should I step up to? Also, if I get a new hard drive, will I have to transfer all of my stuff to it or can I just use both the old one and the new one?

I'm about to get my 2nd Titan X and I'm ready to start thinking about watercooling. What are all of the parts I need to water cool my rig and what is the approximate $? Also will a 1000 watt power supply be enough?

Damn son, that's awesome. What CPU do you have?

You're probably looking at $500+ for the watercooling equipment

Got a Titan X Pascal? I have one under water and it's good enough for 4K. This is coming from an over kill guy.

I recommend putting blocks on and wait to upgrade for Skylake-E.

LF water cooling parts?

Edt: I have tons of EK fittings, tubing, acrylic, D5 and DDC pumps with tops. A few choices of resovior also. Will try to take a pic because I'm flying back home right now and only in for 1 night.

I'll give you most of the items. Mainly the pumps are the only things I won't give away but sell at a good price.

Where is that i3? Was wanting it a week ago.

Wanted for an exclusive build. A pure Mario Party rig just for N64 and GameCube emulation. Got a RaspberryPi 3 instead.

I need to get that back from my buddy still

You want this 2500k instead if I buy that x79 stuff off you? I have a perfectly fine z68 ATX Mobo and a h61 mATX Mobo with a weird dimm slot. One of the two dimm slots doesn't work sometimes all the pins on the socket are fine too
