Alright I have two submissions for you
First one is a FX-6350 running at 4.6Ghz (sorry CPU bench is not present in this picture)

Second one is a 5930K running at 4.4Ghz

 
System Specs found here

Put it towards an SSD?

so it's: Q6600+7950 vs E8400+290
I think it's going to be a win for Luke's build because I think the benchmarks they've chosen aren't too CPU bound

I did this mod a little over a week ago and posted it to Teksyndicate. I figured I'd cross post my mod here for you guys to enjoy aswell.

Have any questions, I'll answer them here aswell. Enjoy!

You should at least wait till the Black Friday deals are listed before you decide.

Roland R26 is what he used to use, he now uses an AT2020 from Audiotechnica.

just as a heads up it's most likey not going to be called the 980ti
 
The ti is a naming extension reserved for an updated/fully enabled core- 780/780ti had the same GK110 core but the 780ti was fully enabled as it the 980.

The books were better. 

Portal Wearable Smartphone
 
An indiegogo campaign to fund a wearable smartphone with a flexible display.
 
Seems like a cool idea and something I imagined would happen someday but with new wearable smart watches, I feel this probably wont gain any traction.  It claims to be "Android Based OS with Portal OS Customizable User Interface". 
 
The flexibility of the device seems like it could have some application in regular phones but ultimately for this device I feel its adoption is going to narrow down to whether people want to wear something so big on their arms. I for one would not want to.  Just seems impractical. By the looks of it to make a phone call you would need to have a bluetooth (or wired I'd imagine) headset. Otherwise you have to remove it from your arm to use like a normal handheld phone. 
 
A cool idea but ultimately heading in the wrong direction of the market.

As an owner of a Xstar DP2710 (1440p) OC'd to 120hz I can say that there is a slight colour degredation but it is still significantly better than 95% of TN panels.

But there is the disconnect. This is digital media. Not a physical product. Demanding a new laptop is different because a new laptop is in essence newer and possibly completely different (specs and branding possibly). Whereas digital media... The copy of the digital media stored on a CD is what I own. When i watch a movie the files stay the same and doesn't degrade in any way compared to a physical laptop.

I know this will draw hate as is common on criticism, keep in mind this is my opinion and I'm sure Linus will do fine when shifting his content on to a different demographic altogether. Afterall, smartphones and general consumer gadgets are popular watching and I'm sure many of Linus' new audience is here and ready to defend him. But this is constructive criticism, so I would appreciate the same gesture in return.
 
 
Having been watching LTT for a long time, it has gone increasingly downhill over a long period of time for me:
 
Linus prioritizing boutique video quality sacrificing all quantity and depth of insight. We're down to less than a video a day, and the ones we get are usually shorter and less opinionated/ insightful. Forgetting who the audience is with an increasing number of consumer gadgets, (seriously, a wi-fi plant humidifier??) mobile phones, and other borderline tech of fringe interest to PC enthusiasts, even further lowering the quantity of content desired. Getting on the same release bandwagon as all. the. other. tech. channels. Every video with a product I want to watch either doesn't exist at all or is covered by OC3D, Linus, TekSyndicate, TastyPC, SWEclockers and HardwareCanucks ALL AT ONCE. Random WAN show guests that I very often find to be irrelevant and annoying. Getting that weird uncomfortable YouTube "buddy club" vibe that just kind of smells bad to me. Josh from Fractal being an exception. Why go to PAX? There are hundreds of YouTube channels doing PAX. Just why? Where are all the hidden gems in PC hardware? Have Linus completely abandoned reaching out to manufacturers for samples of interesting new coolers, cases, NAS boxes, you name it? It just seems Linus is more interested in autonomy, getting all the same stuff as everyone else, and losing touch with the market. It used to be about consumer enlightenment, showcasing stuff you might not have heard of. Remember the Thermaltake Tt eSports BAG? That kind of thing. I bought one because of Linus. What has Linus shown me in the past 6 months that I wanted to buy afterwards? Absolutely nothing, I'm afraid.  
But the final step that is probably going to make me unsubscribe, is not going to Computex. Seriously, that is gutting. That is a stone-cold knife in the back to the original audience of the channel, to whom Computex is probably the highlight of the entire year, after the huge thrill of covering it last year. I could forgive anything from Linus but not that.
 
It makes me sad, as Linus Tech Tips has been my very favourite channel for years, but now it is my least favourite of all my subscriptions.
 
My 2 rubel, anyway.

All the movies I paid to collect dust on my shelf.
It's my library I paid for. I'm not paying for it again to watch it with a little more ease

DATA is DATA
why should it matter if I have a bigger TV?
that's like i should be paying more for a game if I have a more expensive computer.

being that Minecraft is CPU intensive.....
my Nvidia240GT can push 60fps at 1440p

7/10 I don't play TF2 because I know I'll get sucked into it.

Did you seriously reply to a post from 2 months ago?
