Do you actually play any video games or just build machines for other people to play video games?

I rarely build for other people... I just change my builds like I do pants.

I've probably put in over 40 hours of gaming this week at least. Minecraft has me addicted

Where did you find an 8320 for $99? I only see it for $150+.

Oh yea. I forgot he was so close to one.

ETA: I found a broken iPad2 the other day and fixed it for $33 in parts. Just sold it on eBay for $240

I live about a half hour from one and work about 15-20 min from one. I'm trying to get as much from there as possible. Just easier and faster than waiting on shipping

My buddy told me they will match price on the same item if I have an advertisement or something as well, assuming they have the same item in stock

Where does the overclocking conversation take place?

It already has. I'm not interested in overclocking right now.

It was more of a general question, not directed at you. I want to OC. And I'm not looking through this thread to find if it's been covered.

That's an entirely different aspect of masterracing, and not really discussed here in the sense of "overclocking for beginners."

I've had no desire to write a guide for newbies, though. Too many variables.

There's a fair amount of easy, anybody-can-do-it OCing you can get from most CPUs and GPUs, though. What's your hardware and cooling?

I absolutely would and buy me one while you're there and ship it to me.

But seriously...I might see what some of their prices are and paypal you the money to grab me something and get you to ship it to me. I am like 3 hours away from a MC.

eta: which MC are you by so I can shop around and see what they have?

This is what I would do with $800 for a build right now and it might get cheaper since you are by a MC.

I would not get a 970 board with an 8320. If you ever do decide to OC it you will be limited.
