So you built the PC we were telling you not to build?

I don't get his memory or mboard choices. 6700k is okay I guess, since it seems like its on sale for around 300 or below every week.

the extra 60$ for the 6700k was just for future proofing.
Future proofing is a fallacy. If you really wanted to "future proof," you should have gone with the x99 build that I posted. Better overall build, and the enthusiast line will have better value down the road

I'm sure theres some reasoning as to why that Motherboard is better, But i really like the ASUS ROG, and its what I wanted. I'm happy with how it turned out, and thats all that matters.

Had to go ddr4 because of the 6700, other then that i have no idea what the 2400-3200 means, but since it was a higher price, figured i should go with 3200. I also went with the thermaltek Water 3.0 Riing RGB 240 for red lighting as well.
Eh...

Don't get COD IW/MWRM on PC, apparently MW is an absolutely horrible port and steam reviews are not good.

I saw this headline today: "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare PC multiplayer won't work between Windows Store copies and Steam"
That sealed it for me. The player population on PC is always low after the first month. Dividing it further would be horrible, especially for Windows Store players.

Anyone had any experience with BLU android phones? Looking for a budget phone for $200-$300 and it looks like theres a bunch of BLU phones in that range on Amazon.

Well I was told there are new versions out that can't be cracked yet. I don't keep up with a lot of this stuff, so I have no idea if that's true or not
Posted on 11/7/16 at 10:31 am to Josh Fenderman
I've never purchased windows And I'm running Windows 10 pro anniversary edition
Posted on 11/7/16 at 10:58 am to bluebarracuda
Okay, I'll look into it. Besides that, any other suggestions or does it look good?
Posted on 11/7/16 at 11:14 am to Josh Fenderman
Everything else looks good to me. I'd wait for ilikelsutoos seal of approval before buying
