I played it a bunch until X&Y came out, but the card game is fun. They should really make a good app for it like Hearthstone.

UPGRADE TIME!!!!!

NZXT Switch 810
Corsair H80
I7-3770k
ASRock Z77 Extreme6
Corsair AX850
GTX660ti (2)

I think I'm good with the case and psu. Those are my two most non-storage upgrades.

Am I missing something or is GPU my obvious upgrade here?

ummmm, see if you can sell those 660tis and pick up a 290 or 290x on the cheap. That's really the only thing I would do.

Yeah I played it before X&Y was released. Loved it.

What im saying, I wish they could promote or bring it to Hearthstone level.

Do you still have cards?

Completed sets as of now.

Shadowless with some 1st editions and many dups
1st Edition Dark
1st Edition Gym
1st Edition Fossil
1st Edition Jungle

A lot of Random rares of the EX series, all of Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur, the 3 birds(Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno) most expensive cards outside the original old school sets listed above.

Tried to take a picture for you just now but this Nexus 5 has the WORST camera ever. Don't feel like whipping out the 6D and uploading.

Not an AMD fan

I just can't convince myself to go to a 770 or 780.

Two 660 Tis outperform a 770, and would just be a GK104 to GK104 move. Arbitrary fanboyism restricts you to 780 or 780 ti. Really, even a 780 would be a downgrade in average FPS, but single GPU is preferable and more than enough for single monitor 1080p. If that's out of budget, there's nothing else to upgrade.

Looks like I have it running stable. I set the voltage to 1.317 which rounded up to 1.32 and ran it for an hour.

I bought a flashfire booster box last week, and bought a few packs since. About 3 summers ago I had almost the full base set (1st edition, minus charizard), but I sold everything.

I really enjoy current gen TCG much more than base set (gens 1/2).

Edit: My current Collection

Supposedly they've updated it quite a bit with the XY release (at least that's what I've heard).

Very nice. Now that it's probably stable, you should revisit your cooler mounting. How much thermal paste did you use, what kind, and what method did you use to apply it? Also, how confident are you that the Hyper 212 is fully tightened with even pressure? Not sure of your level of experience installing aftermarket coolers, so just curious. Also, what fan curve settings have you changed, if any? Is it in "quiet" mode or something similar?

I followed the Newegg and a couple other YouTube videos. I put the amount they showed and spread it evenly across using the plastic ziplock bag over your finger. I then attached the cooler per the instructions. Thermal paste wasn't too thick or too thin based off the videos.

As far as changing the fan settings I haven't changed anything from stock. It runs very quiet but the case has a good amount of sound deadening material.

Just sold my XFX R9 290 w/ EK Acrlyc/Nickel Block + Back Plate for 290.

I paid $500 for the card and another 150 for the block and back plate. lol Fckk bitcoins and making me pay that premium doing the spike. You guys knew I had to experience it, even though it didnt get used.

Anyway, some lucky guy got themselves a deal IMO.

Started playing PvP matches. Ended up going around 16-4 tonight with my deck I put together. If I would have had the right 4 stage 1 pokemon I probably wouldn't have lost

I tried to catch you on skype a few times about buying it but you never responded so I gave up.
