    Go with a chinese spy phone, huawai or xaomi, gsm arena website will tell you all the specs you need for any phone you are looking at including the bands it works on.

    An 80+ platinum 550w SeaSonic PSU is overkill AF for your system but will give you long term reliability. You will reuse that PSU in your next build 5+ years down the road for sure.

    It will make bluestacks perform significantly faster, I have not ever heard of it or noticed it interfering with performance outside of VM's.

    I've used thermal paste long past the expiry date and it still works great, I wouldn't worry about it unless it comes out of the tube with chunks in it.

    Does the controller use a molex plug, if it does it is supplying the supplementary power needed. If this is the case I'm guessing your controller lacks a pwm chip and is just a passthrough.

    At the bare minimum pick up 2 WD Reds and raid 1 them, the couple hundred bucks is well worth it. Personally I'd get a 3rd drive to keep at your house and do a weekly backup or maybe even monthly if you can't be bothered.

    Pretty sure he was just using pcpartpicker to show his build and left in the current prices by accident or doesn't know how to remove them.

    The 13% is just the sales tax, you have to pay import fees and duty on top of that.
    Everything in Quebec is soooooo cheap though, love it when I get sent there for work, live like a king for pennies on the dollar, especially MTL.

    Ya, that will be a significant downgrade even if your SSD is and older cheaper model.

    mortino got a reaction from Glennieboyyy007 in Constant temperature vs variable temperature (Graphics cards)   
    Sorta, just from standard contraction and expansion but your graphics card is designed for this, you will not likely notice the wear and tear, at what load and temp does the heat cause more wear and tear than the former I do not know, you would have to ask the engineers that designed your card. Again it will be so negligible it doesn't really matter.

    Calm down dude, you asked for opinions and just because you don't like the common consensus of "waste of money" doesn't mean you should get all mad and butt hurt at people. Good choice on PSU and case though.

    Check your bios to see if any cores are disabled, also really weird seeing 6 threads in Device manager. If you are running windows 7, I remember some people having to enable cores in msconfig way back when.

    I think I mentioned it b4 but TLDR yes with a 1200 dollar ultra wide you will be O faced with eye candy.

    Which description? Not trying to be difficult but you don't have a signature and all I see in your post is 4k HDR TV which means nothing and you want a high end ultra wide for 1k-1.5k which means you are getting an acer predator. you did say budget 4k TV so if you go with an 1100 dollar acer predator 1440p IPS ultrawide with g-sync your eye candy fidelity will soar even if your wallet sinks, you aren't getting 125hz though but you will get 120hz, you might be able to overclock it to 125hz, not positive if you can even push that much data over dp on that monitor or any monitor for that matter.

    7 year old higher end CPU, 1 year old mid ranged GPU, that CPU when new cost the same as your GPU new. With that GPU you are as set as you are gunna get, if you want 3 to 5 years down the road, upgrade in 2 or 3 years except upgrade cpu and gpu. I kept those cpu's for many years(untill the 7700k) and the difference was negligible till my 2600k died and I gave away my 2500k to a friend. Just trying to let you know how I wasted my money and don't want you to make the same mistake.
