Just start looking at PC parts on Facebook market and showing interest, then Facebook will update when new stuff is posted.

I just search Nola and BR Craigslist PC parts in the morning, at lunch, after work, and before I go to sleep

They post just below market price, so I don't buy there usually.

If there are deals like I find locally on there, they are gone in seconds. If you want a good deal on stuff but not a great deal, hardwareswap is the place to buy

Is your PS4 Pro slower these days? You got a fairly new one right so maybe not.

I swear Sony is gimping it bit by bit leading up to PS5.

Mine lags and hangs way more than it used to, or feels like it at least.

Well I had 3.

1 flooded which was loud and and a 7100 series which is loud. Bought the RDR2 bundle for the 7300 series for the improved aucostics. Now they all have SSDs. They don't feel slow. Matter of fact they feel quicker in the menus now after a recent update. However they feel is of they reached their limit. Especially after RDR2 was released.

Where do you experience slowdowns?

I'm about to turn my on for the first time in a week. I was in Knoxville this last week for work. A new update was pushed?

Edt: I love the PS4 btw. Esp the pro.

8350, ppl do need heaters in the winter.

I remember when I upgraded from a 3770K to 4930K and my 8320 still was better at streaming.

That was the first time I thought maybe Intel isn't doing something right.

Speaking of heaters. Put up a Samsung plasma in my boys playroom. Forgot how awesome the colors pop. It's only a 720p too

Which model?

My first HDTV/Flat-screen was a plasma. Had no clue I bought a plasma. Purchased at 22yrs old during a Walmart Black Friday doorbuster in 2008.

Didn't even realize the display wasn't 1080. To this day I'm not sure if it was 720 or 1080 tbh. The colors and near true black made it a non-issue.

But heater you say? Oh yeah, that thing was a heater. I gave it away to the inlaws back in 2012 when we built our house. The thing put out so much heat that I was throwing it away. (I hate selling, rather give away or throw) That thing was coming to the new house. Luckily the inlaws took it for their main TV and JUST replaced it last year.

None the less I became jealous I gave it away. It could make a good garage TV. The picture is beautiful and can warm you during the winter.

Edt: Does the unit show any sign of age?

Threw a 1070 into that ITX build. Much cooler than the 780ti, duh, but it's kinda crazy how much more powerful it is too.

I would sit around 100fps in PUBG, but now I rarely drop below 140

The socks are also a Christmas gift.

Man, I love my dog. She fills a hole in my life. The socks are like the greatest thing ever.

Did I tell you guys I got into cycling about 1month ago? What an awesome rabbit hole. Who knew I would need some many different types of bikes.

Cycling is expensive. Might not want to go down that one.

I am an Aussie only owner, I have had two and I miss them both, smart and beautiful, but each person needs to fit the dog.

We have a friend that grew up with goldens and another that grew up with aussies, so we get to see them both pretty often. They're both amazing breeds, so we know we cant go wrong with either one
