OP thoughts; 
These all look good and should preform similarly, I'm sitting here staring at my Reference RX 480 and its puny 6-pin connector, maybe I'll send it back for one of these.

Semi-long story:
 
After some time and research, the 2013 Mazda 3i SV I purchased is, in fact not the one with the Skyactiv engine. However, though EPA MPG estimates put it in the 33 MPG range on highway with the manual, my real life estimates from the past couple days of testing put me much closer to the 40 MPG mark. It would seem the person putting in the info mistook the 2.0 4cyl MZR motor as the Skyactiv one though, a fairly easy mistake unless one were to dig deeper. Honestly, I'm not at all upset, just an "oh" moment is all.
 
On Wednesday, I emailed my sales person my findings as well as several sources I found. I was as professional as possible with the email, pointing out that while I acknowledge this to be an easy error, I did purchase a vehicle with an advertised 39 MPG.
 


Today, I received an email back from the salesperson that indeed the MPG listing was incorrect. He offered to exchange the vehicle for a Skyactiv model of the same year. Provided I can get a manual one of similar mileage, I am inclined to take the offer.

This is a long-awaited upgrade from an Athlon 750k and GTX 750 Ti. This is going to be my build all throughout college (and more) so it needs to last me about 3-4 more years.
The hardest-to-run game I play is BF4 and Battlefront, and I'd like to run them at 100+ FPS at 1080p.

It is a ratcheting screw driver, professional tools don't come cheap I would bet I have over 20k in tools at work.

Did you know you can fit more shirts and pants in a drawer if you fold them then put them side by side vertically?

Damn bro that shit's beast you best fold, son.

Speaking of engine swaps...
 

A classic RCR:

My absolute favourite RCR video

ITS A CAR YOU CAN POOP IN!!

This video always reminds me of the time my friend soon after high school said he got a charger. Went to his house and behold, a dodge avenger. We named it the walmart charger until he totaled it, like all his cars before. Anyway, best RCR is AE86.

Speaking of engine swaps...
 

GTR? lol

Not very helpful.

And while we're on the topic of Lambo's here's some muffler delete glory
 

 
edit: Just noticed @bob345 in the video comments

If you get my gist.

A new study showing from scientist a unique little venom from the wasp named Brazilian Polybia paulista wasp
 

 
The venom in the wasp named Polybia-MP1 is shown when applied to the surface of the cancer cell to destroy the cell's lipids which create big holes which destroys the cell membrane and makes the cell contents to leak out.
 
It's also shown that the venom can also help slow or inhibit other cancers as well like bladder cancer.
 
To be honest it's kinda amazing how sometimes mother earth has strange and odd bugs that can help us out by simply thinking outside the box and trying new things besides new chemical medicines. Mother earth is amazing for producing various bugs,animals,plants,fungi that help us out constantly.
 
I wonder what would happen if certain plants or bugs didn't exist.
 
what are your thoughts about this ?
 
PS: The venom manages to destroy cancer cells but not normal healthy cells not sure how to explain that but it simply does.
