I hate Paul from NewEgg. So white bread and lame. 
Edt: Linus might be above Paul in my book. Linus is cringe but at less he has some personality behind it.

Cannot stand Linus. He is a fricking tool and to me his voice is like nails on a chalkboard. He also wears socks with sandals...LOL. I only watch the videos that Luke does on that channel.
Not a big fan of Hardware Canucks, either. All of their videos might as well be advertisements for the products they are talking about. They very rarely have anything negative to say about anything they review.
I like Paul because he is a no nonsense, shoot it straight kinda guy. I don't need shite that sounds like PewDeePie in my tech videos. I like Gamers Nexus for the same reason. Dude just gives you the info without a lot of bullshite. I probably watch the videos on Paul, Jayz2Cents, Gamers Nexus, and PCPer's channels more than any other tech sites.

PCPer is my favorite and by far the most technical. Mentioned here previously but my full name was read on PCPe's podcast about 2 episodes back as a Patron. Caught me by surprise listening, was weird shtt.

Cool! I really like them a lot. They are probably my favorite out of all of the tech sites.

Thank you, it was the greatest moment of my life.

I haven't watched or listened to any hardware-related podcasts in a while. I used to listen to Tech Report a lot. And Tek syndicate for Wendell. I want to punch Logan in the throat.
Posted on 12/13/16 at 10:54 am to ILikeLSUToo
I moved on to L1 for Wendell and thumbs down every "Crit/Tek Syndicate" video uploaded on YouTube.

There was apparently some drama surrounding his departure from tek syndicate. Never read the details (too many long threads/posts to sift through), but I'm sure it involved a chick.

Patrons not getting their Patreon rewards and employees not getting paid all while Pistol boosts drama and spending.

Eh, only if you want to just for the hell of it, but that will be a pretty lateral change.

Pretty much, I have the itch again but my 2nd computer is about 5 years old and I can't even used my 970's collecting dust in it, I would transfer the old stuff to upgrade it, and it's the one that the on board video stopped working on in my last move so it would give me back my 2nd monitor on that system.

Makes sense. Considering doing the same to build a server.
Posted on 12/13/16 at 9:32 pm to ILikeLSUToo
Any comments/suggestions on the components I picked?
6700k vs 6800k vs 6850k, pros' or cons?

This is what I am looking at right now unless someone has comments or suggestions.
Intel Core i7-6850K 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor
Asus ROG STRIX X99 GAMING ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
LINK
One concern in that some X99 boards need a bios updated to work with broadwell-e.

If your just gaming I'd get the 6700k.
Nothing wrong with the 6850k though.

AMD detailed Ryzen today, not sure why they changed the name from Zen but alas, sounding very very good, think I will make the switch.
AMD Zen 6 core 95w TDP versus the 6900K 6 core at 140w with near identical performance. fricking smashed.
Guess they weren't lying all along when they said within 5% IPC of latest Intel chips. At significantly lower TDP. Lets just hope they weren't lying with the $300 price point.
