    Neemil got a reaction from Big-G in U'd better sit down for this - suggested retail prices for the GTX1080 "founders edition"   
    This election year is off to a good start for the DA but before this turns into a thread about how bad the SA government really is on the topic of the GTX 1080 although the price is really really steep I'll wait a few months after launch until prices dip and then I'll MAYBE buy one because I prefer single GPU setups over SLI but that's still a long shot.

    Using MIT scratch is something very low level and is used for younger children who wants to start programming but if it's your teachers recommendation to use something as simple then maybe look at Python or Oxygine which ia a simple 2D based game engine.

    Sony will release the VR headset with a separate power box which will help in keeping the performance stable.

    Why gamers are surprised that their GTX 760 can't max out a brand new AAA title at max graphics and 1440p boggles my mind.
     
    Guys.. you can still play it.. just turn the graphics down!
     
    This is why developers show early gameplay footage with amazing graphics, and then when the game comes out it's been scaled way back... Because everyone wants to "max out" the game with their $300 GPU. They literally get the exact same experience, but are now longer upset because the game is "maxed out".
     
    All they really do is screw over the people that actually have good hardware.

    Slightly more, just a tad but much better performance, probably let another member change the PSU, i'm not sure on how good it is. Colour is all over the place, but doesn't matter because you have no window side panel. Damn, didn't notice, that HDD is very expensive, we need to swap that out.
     
    Maybe add a SSD with the saved monies.

    Or you could get the Fractal Design Arc Mini. Finding an mATX with a PSU shroud will be difficult and the best option is the Enthoo Evolv it's absolutely beautiful however it lacks front bay.

    The i7 5820K and i7 5930K are both 6 cores/ 12 threads CPU's however the 5930K has a slightly higher base clock and more PCI-e lanes but both will be excellent for productivity and gaming but rather save the extra pennies and go with the 5820K.

    It seems like you have a prebuilt PC with a second gen CPU. If you would like to upgrade your CPU then get something like an i5 2400 or i5 2500 however because of how old that socket is those chips are only available second hand.

    Microsoft is really pushing Windows10 down our throats. I understand that they want to have one sort of eco-system that's connected but some people just like the older things that actually work and don't require newer things like cortana. Guess it's time for me to upgrade from Windows 7.

    To be honest the R9 390 isn't that of a huge leap over the 780. If you can find an R9 390X then sure but unless you're playing at 4K or 1440P the 780 is still good wait till Pascal then upgrade.

    Neemil got a reaction from Warcony in Note 5 vs Nexus 6P   
    I find it weird how people are complaining about silly things like bendgate. The nexus 6P is a flagship phone and it competes with the Note 5 in the same market area. Build quality both are very good however the Note 5 is a slippy bitch so you'll need a wrap for it or case whereas the Nexus is all but premium and it has a nice texture to its backing so no wrap required. Screen wise both are rocking 1440p displays but the Note is ever so slightly better with colour reproduction. When it comes to the OS however while Samsung has changed massively over the years nothing can really compete with a stock android experience like the 6P and although you could get a custom rom for the Note there is still a possibility you might brick it. Furthermore the Exynos CPU in the Note and the Snapdragon 810 in the 6P are very close in performance so you won't have any performance issue with either. The last thing is price the 6P could be found for $500 whereas the Note is $650 if I'm not mistaken so take that into account as well. Oh OH Oh camera wise the Samsung is better in low light conditions and has simply for features to offer like wireless charging etc. Personally I would recommend the 6P but watch MBKHD review on both devices and decide for yourself.
