  1. I have an i3 4150 and a GTX 960. Can I join?
  2. Cranberry splash Sierra Mist. The best dang stuff you'll ever see.
  3. Haha, I actually kind of like Linux. It's improving every day, and hopefully, Vulkan will improve performance quite a bit. I guess it's all down to personal preference though. Thanks for the suggestions!
  4. First of all, thank you for the suggestions! I really wish I could have gone with an R9 380; however, it wasn't out at the time, and with AMD not performing well under Linux, it sadly wasn't much of an option. I really wish I could have gone with that though. SSD would be pretty nice. Thanks! Thanks for the rating haha.
  5. Hello! So, I recently acquired a new keyboard/headset, and it gave me the idea to post my PC build/peripherals and ask other forum members what they thought of my setup, what they would rate it, what they would improve, and what they thought as a price/performance ratio. So, without further a due, what do you guys think of it? Specs are as followed. Keep in mind that I bought these parts on Black Friday of 2014 (I bought the GPU on my birthday, recieved the keyboard, mouse, and headset as a gift, but everything else I bought on Black Friday of 2014.), so prices may have been different from now! Also keep in mind that I already own this.

  6. Typing on my new mechanical keyboard at the moment! It's a Cooler Master Storm Quickfire Rapid TKL keyboard with Cherry MX Blue switches. I have to say, I honestly don't think I can go back to a regular rubber-dome keyboard after using this thing. The best thing about it is that it seems to work perfectly in Linux! (at least in my testing.)
  7. Kingston HyperX Clouds and a CM Storm Quickfire Rapid Cherry MX Blue keyboard
  8. Arkansas, Virgnia, Colorado, and Alaska. Utah is nice too. Most of those states have my favorite mountains in the U.S. .
  9. I don't really have one as of right now. I'm mainly asking if getting a 1080p IPS display now would be better or waiting a few years and getting a 4K monitor when it comes time to upgrade my system.
