Oh yeah. Cowherd loves to rustle the jimmies and most of the Alabama fan base are dumb enough to bite.

I think cowherd is just blunt. He has decent reasoning usually. That woman was ridiculous though.

$80. Not terrible for 2x4gb 1600.

Who knows.. my guess is that it would be perfectly fine. It has a limited lifetime warranty. Stability issues due to RAM are easy to detect via a couple of memory stress tests, and compatibility has become nearly a non-issue these days. If it's stable at its rated specs, all good.

Some of those customization options are silly, though, like engraving and custom part numbers

Tek Syndicate's latest video debunking some of the myths about high end audio
Interesting stuff especially for someone like me who knows next to nothing about what really matters.

Oh I cannot wait to watch this one.

That guy from Mayflower though, he's worse than I am trying to explain shite in person. In the last video, he makes a compelling argument against sound cards and pro-DAC, but what taints the whole thing is that he works for Mayflower, and they pimp the O2 in the video. I'm sure the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Im about to order the rest of the parts for my build. looking for input on this parts list before I purchase


https://pcpartpicker.com/p/2n0KY

I already bought a gtx 780 and a rosewell 750watt power supply (80+ bronze).

my only questions are about the cooling and SSD

how quiet is the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO ? I know they make fans that are supposed to be quieter, but are those fans really that quiet or do they sacrifice cooling efficiency ?

thinking about bumping the SSD up to a 240-260 GB, but should I go for the cheapest SSD or are the pricier ones that are supposed to be slightly faster worth it ? Im thinking that even a "slow" SSD would be adequate enough for me--is this a good deal ? LINK

he is wrong about flac vs mp3

he's definitely pimping his own products, but atleast the o2 and odac which are excellent products.

that he-500 he's got is an awesome headphone

The fan isn't the quietest thing in the world, but it stays pretty reasonable even during gaming if I recall correctly. Either way, your video card fan will be the loudest thing in the case.

Everything on your parts list is good.

That's not even a slow SSD, and it is a good deal.

I actually have no other comments.

I don't even notice it, the video card is louder so it's irrelevant really. As much as we talk about fan noise sometimes go play a ps3. Those things are so loud

Did anyone pick up a couple SSDs during NewEggs end of the year thing?

I purchase 1xVertex 3 IPOS 120GB and 1xCorsair GT 60GB for $110. Always goo to have spare SSDs for boot or extra storage on spare PCs. I want to say that Vertex is as quick as an 840 Evo, but is just MLC as compare to TLC.
