    I'll overclock the CPU till it hertz! Then, I'll get serious about gaming video recording and editing. Especially MMOs like Planetside 2.

    @LinusTech Called it in my last post. People on r/buildapc are now questioning your integrity.

    Linus, I don't think it is right to recommend 16GB of RAM. Firefox barely uses any RAM, even with many tabs open. It isn't right to recommend 16GB based on your experience with Chrome. Firefox is just as good and doesn't use that much RAM. Also, there's quite a few quirks here and there. For example, for the second build, by the storage a notch and maybe also the CPU cooler and the excess RAM, you could easily fit a locked i5 in there. Also, the guys at r/buildapc are doing a really great job of fitting the best hardware for a price point. Since they are also your audience, I expect you'll get a lot of flak for these decisions. Your builds a little imbalanced compared to what they are doing. There's some stuff that really good though, like the 970 in the second one. Sorry if this sound bad but LTT is now huge. A lot of people, new to PC gaming, may want to build a PC to exactly what you recommend. I don't feel its right for these guys that you cut corners on some parts to fit some excessive stuff in other places. EDIT: I was a bit quick to post, but I see now your reasoning behind the 3TB drive. Valid, but I still feel its not the right thing to do at this price point. If you fit a 1TB drive in there and go with the i5, the overall performance of the system will be better. Plus, its much easier to add a new hard disk down the road than doing a complete system rebuild because the CPU is limiting the graphics card. EDIT 2: I opened 20 tabs in Firefox, some of which were content heavy, others not. The firefox.exe process was using around 600MB of memory. Overall system memory usage was around 2GB. I opened almost exactly the same thing in Chrome and the memory usage jumped to 3.15GB. Chrome used almost twice as much memory for the same thing.

    I have a Dark Rock 3 in the mail that I ordered from the SpecialTech (UK). The shipping to me is around £16, and they also don't make you pay taxes if you're outside of the UK. It cost me £43. Totally worth it.

    Around where? If your umbrella is in North America, you can get them from NCIX.

    Be quiet! Master Race.

    Favorite item? Definitely the Power Supply.

    The quality of the videos are so good, that you can clearly see Linus' acne. JK.
  9. Lord_Kitty
    That's quite a simple Mechanics question actually. (The answer is 0.012s. ) But yeah, I don't know if they can do that kind of calculations yet.

    Source: https://openmedia.ca/news/leaked-draft-confirms-tpp-will-censor-internet-and-stifle-free-expression-worldwide Go read it if you are really interested in the topic (its not very long). I have not included all the info in this post. Oh, the patent laws are working SOOOO WEEELL. Lets make it even better. *Facepalm* OpenMedia.ca is running some campains against possibilities of censorship of the internet. Go sign up to show your support. Maybe it will make a difference...

    A 980.... Oh that will be amazing.

    *2 mins in* - Linus: "Are we wearing the same underwear?" Must have been fun to watch.
  13. Lord_Kitty
    Yeah, forced may not be it, but that's what was implied by the Game Architect. It may just be that Microsoft is throwying a lot of money at Ubisoft to do that. Oh noes!
  14. Lord_Kitty
    We knew it was for console parity. There were rumors that console makers where the one behind that. This is a confirmation of the rumors. No one was really sure before that, which ended up with Ubisoft getting all the flak for it.
  15. Lord_Kitty
    That's not the problem. They are not optimizing for consoles and not PC. They are outright limiting the PC version for parity. Here's another quote: They did not aim for 30FPS. They are forced to do so. And Microsoft is forcing them to do the same on PC. The people that did the presentation are developers too. So, the "30FPS is better" might just be a PR stunt.
