I showed him these and he likes the i5-6400 build. This is a great build for the money I think.

So I'm planning a PC build for a friend, and he's got a budget of $600 US. I slapped together a quick build just to show him some possibilities, but I really want some feedback on my build so that he gets the best experience for his money. He said he already has a mouse, keyboard and monitor, so I didn't put those on the build. He doesn't have a clue about overclocking, so we don't NEED an unlocked CPU. Also, we're trying to keep this on the Intel platform, so please don't recommend AMD processors. Thanks for your help! Here's the build I made: PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/YHsDwV Price breakdown by merchant: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/YHsDwV/by_merchant/ CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor ($201.98 @ Newegg) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H-A Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($54.98 @ Newegg) Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($39.88 @ OutletPC) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($49.49 @ OutletPC) Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 4GB Video Card ($179.99 @ Newegg) Case: Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0 MicroATX Mid Tower Case ($24.99 @ SuperBiiz) Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($42.33 @ OutletPC) Total: $578.64 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2016-10-19 00:34 EDT-0400

I didn't even think of a mixer. I was googling more about this topic, and a bunch of other people also said a mixer would probably be best. They also said a splitter might end up shorting something, so yeah... I don't wanna do that. I guess I'm gonna need a mixer then... Thanks so much for the reply!

So I have an AT2020+ that I use for general game chat and whatnot, and a cool feature about this mic is that it has a 3.5mm audio jack on the side of the microphone to listen to yourself live with NO delay. I also have a pair of Sennheiser HD558s that I use for audio along with a Mayflower O2 ODAC/AMP combo. Now, normally what I'll do is take those crappy Apple headphones that everyone has and plug those into the mic, and have my 558s sit over those for my desktop audio. It works, but it gets uncomfortable really fast, not to mention the in-ears constantly fall out of my ears. Here is the question: Is it possible to have my HD 558s listen to two audio sources at the same time? So far, I only have two ideas, and I don't know what the outcomes of either one would be, so some help would be awesome. Option 1: Use a Y splitter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Stereo-Female-2-male-Y-splitter/dp/B00D683FR8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1475893768&sr=8-4&keywords=female+audio+splitter and plug one male end into the DAC, the other male end into the mic, and have my headphones connected to the female end. I don't know if this will work because I'm afraid it might make it play mic audio through one ear, and desktop audio through the other ear. Option 2: Use an auxiliary cable and plug one end into the mic, and one end into the PC and somehow monitor mic audio through software. I don't know how to go about monitoring the mic audio in Windows 10, though. Thanks for the help!

Why such a large screen? I can't think of a single phone that has a screen so big. I think this should just be a tablet or laptop or something. Seven inches is part of the no fly zone (I just now made this a rule) in between tablets and phones. It's stupidly big for a phone, and too small to be used as a proper tablet.

I feel a little bit bad for the employees that lost their jobs, but honestly Microsoft didn't really know how to make phone software anyways.

Does this really matter when apple is still swimming in cash from previous years? I mean, it's apple. The most valuable company in the world. What does it matter that some people lose out on a bit of extra money that would have gone straight to their pockets anyway?

Worth it for money? No. In the long term, it might be. It takes a very long time for a YouTube channel to start making worthwhile money. Worth it for fun? Heck yeah. Making videos is a great creative outlet for many poeple, and if you enjoy it, even without making any money, then you should do it. I like your idea too. I don't really think i have seen a Korean YouTube channel before.

I saw these on imgur the other day. There was a dump of these, and they were all really creative.

It looks like this could go either way, but I don't really see them completely preventing a game release because of a patent. That would be a really stupid move.

This seems neat, but I honestly haven't seen a gambling ad before this anyways. Has anyone else seems any gambling ads? What kind of apps are they put on?

This is a pretty big blow for AMD. Everyone was looking forward to a great value card, and all the reviews I have seen are really positive, and emphasize the value of the card. Unless AMD has a really good response to this, then the product will be kind of DOA.

Yeah that whole thing just went straight over my head. Anyone care to explain how this networking stuff works in plain English?

That's only 100 times as much as Donald Trump got for his startup. To AT&T it's just a small loan of 100$ million dollars.

Just wait until this gets into the wrong hands. Completely unnecessary I think.
