    It being an OEM device just means you'll get no warranty, and likely some secondhand packaging. That has nothing to do with the playback of movies on the device, though you will need software for it.

    I know AMD is notorious for their hot CPUs and GPUs, but this is just ridiculous.

    "clr_cmos" means "Clear CMOS." It essentially clears your BIOS of any custom settings.

    A single 390x is going to give you the most consistent performance, as not everything plays nicely with SLi or Crossfire.

    wyattzx got a reaction from Trav_X in MasterAir Maker 8 worth it?   
    The MasterAir Maker 8 is a glorified Hyper 212. You're paying a premium for the extras, the large aesthetic pieces, and the premium packaging. For the price of the Maker 8, you can buy a great AiO, or even a top-end air cooler. Do not buy it, as the price-to-performance ratio is horrible.

    wyattzx got a reaction from hogfather in 10 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Designing a Gaming PC   
    I disagree with a majority of your points here...
     
    You should not compromise your PC build simply because you'll be unable to afford AAA titles at first. You can either continue to save, or buy yourself a high-end machine now, and just play F2P titles until you have the money for AAA games. There's no point in getting a cheaper CPU, GPU, etc, just so you can afford a game.
     
    SLi is not a bad investment, and SLi GTX 970s can actually outperform a single card at the same price. (970 > 980 Ti with SLi compatibility) Yes, you have to work around compatibility, but the performance gains when it DOES come in to play can be huge. Plus, you can buy one now, and one later. Not everyone can afford a GTX 980 Ti right now, so buying a GTX 970, and then another one later can be a great investment.
     
    RAM is cheap right now, and there's no point in holding yourself back. As long as the board supports it, I see no reason to get 16GB of RAM for $40 more than 8GB. A lot of games will benefit from it nowadays, and it's only usually 5-10% more on your total cost, even when budget-building.
     
    Under-estimating wattage is not good, but there's nothing wrong with overestimating. Especially since a good EVGA 750W PSU can be had for $50, where a 450W will cost you $35. As long as the brand quality is good, there's nothing wrong with plenty of headroom on your wattage, especially with an affordable PSU. 
     
    Cheaping out on the monitor? A lot of people will get by on a $120 23" LED TN panel just fine, and you can't blame them. Not everyone needs to spend $450 on a 27" 144hz panel. The nice thing about PC is being able to buy what you want and what you need, and nothing more, or less. You can get a 23" 1080p IPS 5ms response panel for $130.
     
    Not sure what you mean by avoid overspending on a CPU. An i5 4690k / i5 6600k is a good CPU for gaming, and anything below that you're more than likely going to see bottlenecks with current titles. Yes, you don't need a 6700k, 5820k, or anything of the like, but you certainly don't want to go cheap, either. You didn't specify a figure though, so I won't either.
     
    An SSD is near-essential nowadays. If it's going to make the difference between an R9 390 and a 750Ti, then of course you shouldn't bother. Otherwise, just be a smart shopper. Save $10 on your PSU (this goes back to my comment on quality, affordable PSUs) and $15 on your motherboard, $15 on your case, and $10 on your RAM, and suddenly you have enough budget for an SSD. It's not hard, and it's an absolute godsend. I'd say, in a week, I save a matter of hours with programs, Windows boot time, etc. Convert that to my hourly pay for commission work, and it ends up being somewhere in the neighborhood of $50-60 a WEEK.

    15TB 2.5" SAS enterprise SSD? That's really impressive, and I had no idea we had that sort of density on SSDs already. I wonder if this sort of innovation and progress will trickle down into consumer drives in the following months?
