You're married too, right?

It would be seriously fun though.

I just got my confirmation email. I am in a paid beta test for the multiplayer of Splinter Cell Blacklist and Assassins Creed Black Flag.

Not sure what the pay is but IDC as I would do it for free just to play the games.

Only bad thing is that they are both on PS3

What do you want to spend on one?

Are you going to upgrade that vid card one day or possibly add another one in crossfire?

Do you want a modular PSU?

XFX PSUs are made by Seasonic and this one happens to be on sale today for $55 after discounts and rebates with free S&H.

LINK

I have never used an XFX but if it's made by Seasonic it's going to be a solid unit and I have heard good things about XFX PSUs.

I don't think you will find a much better deal right now on a modular 750W. You might not ever need 750W but for $55 why not have it there just in case?

If you want a gold rated PSU then this Corsair looks to be the cheapest today. 650W for $80 after discounts and rebates and that HX650 is also made by Seasonic for Corsair.

LINK

If you find a PSU you like it's always best to look at this list to see who it is made by and make sure you aren't buying an electrical fire waiting to happen.

16gb ram increases ssd performance over 4gb
I would like to see them do more testing with different speeds and amount of ram, 8gb vs 16gb, 1600 va 1866, etc...

The Capstone series are supposed to be really good as well. I would be careful with other Rosewills though.

SG_Geaux might be the most pleasant person ever. He started his email off with "Good Morning".

I don't know why that stuck out to me but it did. Made me wanna go save a whale or protect a rainforest or some other nice shite I would never do.

SG has been cool in my book for a while. Seems like a good guy and me and him see eye to eye on a lot of stuff.

Back in my punk OT days and before I really knew SG I used to give him shite about a few things. I regret that because he is such a nice guy and now that I have been here for a while I see it.

newegg will run a shell shocker price on this OCZ modxstream at noon central. some of the reviews are pretty comical, guy gave it a 1 egg review because it failed after 4 and a half years
