I'm blind and just noticed this thread.

Thoughts on this GPU?

I take pisses that would out perform that card. With that said, it is still better than that shitty 660.

My main PC is staying around 20% utilization with all programs closed. Something is going on. Afraid it is some crypto malware.

Might need to wipe the drives.

Edt: Is Steam compromised?

Yea browns have that tactile "click" just without the noise

No. Browns do not have a click. It is the exact same mechanism as Reds. The activation weight is just higher. You might have missed the references on the previous page. The only "clicky" ones I know of are Blues and Greens. Maybe Whites click also. Think those 3 have the same mechanism.

Browns can be just as quick as Reds for most gamers. Over time the feel better to type on and a hell of a lot quitter since you aren't slamming keys down with no resistance.

Holy shite.

On the keyboard note, I picked up a brand new razer black widow ultimate for $20 Saturday. That's a blue barracuda deal, if I've ever seen one.

Nice

I managed to snag an i3 6300, EVGA 750GQ and Corsair 330R titanium this weekend for $100 (all brand new still in packaging). Building Jmurdahs brother a PC for him to play AoE and Civ on. I'll probably go to best buy and buy one of those cheaper EVGA units since he wont need that PSU with his i3 and 650 ti

Edit: Here's his build. Jmurdah gave him the 650ti, and I probably spent around $250 on the rest of the parts

That's a very straight forward build. I like it.

He doesn't need anything fancy. Cheap and effecient.

I was going to go with a pentium (would still rather have it than the i3) but the package deal was too good and it happened to be a compatible CPU for the mobo I already had

The G4xxx pentiums. Incredible performance for the price with incredible OCing ability (even on shitty coolers).

My G3258 back in the day was a beast in my HTPC

Single core IPC.

It still matters a ton.

Gotcha. I didn't know they released a newer version of the g3258. I had planned on getting one of those back in the day till Intel pushed an update and crippled them. If I remember correctly.

The G4560 was on sale on Newegg yesterday for $50. It sold out though.
